They have been there since long and their future seem secure. Yes, one is talking about self-help books, also called how-to books. Visit any bookstore, swanky or by the sidewalk, across Delhi, you will find such books always aplenty, simply because their takers have never been on the wane.
Declares Shiv Khera, a big name in the genre of self-help books, “There has always been a huge demand for good self-help books worldwide and there will always be.” Author of “You Can Win”, one of the most sold books in the genre, he says, “I write such books from my practical knowledge unlike some people who are writing these days just to earn a few bucks.” He warns readers against falling for “books written by many self-proclaimed management gurus these days.” “I don't consider myself as one of them as I am still a student of learning,” he adds.
To gain interpersonal skills and lead a happy personal life, and also to find quick tips for success at workplace, many people take succour in self-help books. Besides books by new-age writers, stories from the Mahabharata, Ramayana and Bhagvad Gita also do the rounds.
