  1. Self help books have always been great sellers. Dale Carnegie's "How To Win Friends And Influence People was huge in the early 20th century and books on self improvement and how to conduct yourself around all levels of society, including his to deal with one's servants and how to handle situations with members of the opposite sex were the subject of many conduct and how to books in Jane Austen's time and before. As long as we've had printing, the self help genre has been a thing. The ability to learn from as many people as possible has always been a useful life enhancer.
