We previously talked about the prolific self-help book Girl, Wash Your Face, and the question Dbo brought up: Who is she talking to?
This piece from Time that expands on this type of thought and also talks about her UPCOMING SEQUAL (what more could she possibly have to say? sorry lol) called Girl, Stop Apologizing.

In particular the article talks about how her main audience is the same female group who tends to sell essential oils in pyramid schemes (haha).
These quotes:
"Among the revelations in her new book, for example, are that she has the word “mogul” tattooed on her wrist and that one of the ten affirmations she writes for herself every day is that she only travels first class."
"Hollis has adeptly ridden several waves in her rise to the top… the gig economy and the dawn of the Instagram age."
I can talk about the gig economy for like 10 years (go D'Amore McKim!) if you're interested, but I don't want to bore you.
What do you guys think about self-help books in general?
