Helping Me Help Myself: One Skeptic, Ten Self-Help Gurus, and a Year on the Brink of the Comfort Zone, by Beth Lisick

Beth, a freelance writer (also occasional high school teacher and banana-costumed-banana-hander-outer) goes on a year-long plan of following self-help gurus in order to get her life together. She tries Jack Canfield for general "life organizing," John Gray (of the Mars/Venus books) for relationships, Richard Simmons for exercise, suze Orman for finances, Sylvia Browne for--I'm not sure what that chapter was, but something. She tries to keep her innate cynicism in check, but her humor and warmth still shine through. She is funny and relatable. I really hope she made some money off this book so she can pay some bills, though.
