My own personal take on this question is that you should limit your self-help investments to products that cost less than $20, unless you have a lot of money to just throw around.
But I'm open to other ideas.
I agree with this.
The other thing I do and recommend is to carefully think through the claims and come to your own conclusions. Always be skeptical, and compare the author's assertions with your own experience because it's easier to accept what they say 'on faith.'
I always try to apply that critical filter when I hear things other people say. I don't care how much of an authority someone is. Actually in that case it's even more important to apply a critical filter.
