As a true believer in personal growth, a devout reader of the genre and as an author of a book about breakups, you'd think I'd shut up about how the self-help revolution is killing us! But some things just have to be said.And today we're tidying up with some of the most detrimental "wisdoms" and myths around helping ourselves and fixing our mindsets for the umpteenth f***ing time.

Here's the book I mention: "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. And the wonderful tutorial by Escaping Ordinary

If you'd like to preorder my book (yes, I get the irony), or you are going through a difficult breakup, please feel free to write to me here: ricardia@thebreakupcall.com

Sending love.
