The self-help book genre contains nonfiction books written with the intention of instructing the reader on how to solve a problem or improve an area of their life or providing other guidance. These books are also known as “self-improvement” books, often giving advice on how to improve oneself mentally, physically, financially, etc. Common self-help topics include improving one’s finances, bettering one’s mental health, getting one’s life in order, growing one’s confidence, and strengthening relationships.
Some examples of books in the self-help genre include:
As apparent from these examples, many self-help books can also fall into other genres, like how-to, inspirational, or memoir. Yet, the overarching similarity among them all is that they are nonfiction books providing guidance on how to improve an area of the reader’s life or inspire them to try something new. Self-help books additionally typically relay knowledge from the lived experiences of the authors, sharing guidance that worked for them personally.
