Publisher's summary
Our Audible Editors (including two guest editors!) dive deep into the popular self-development genre (a.k.a. “self help”), and make a solid case to our resident Self-Dev skeptic, editor Emily, that the genre itself is more far-reaching than you may think.

Story
Aside from a delay, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed. Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story
There is no bigger public health story now than the collapse in youth mental health. The numbers are terrifying and dominate our headlines. There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse. Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.

Episode 12
There are a lot of cool self help books out there. At this point in my life I don't need any self help books. I do however know some people who do so it was nice to listen to this episode so I got some book titles to suggest to my friends. I am interested in The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up book I love the tv show that Marie Kondo has I had no idea that she wrote a book. I'm excited to listen to it. I'm also probably going to give The Martha Rules by Martha Stewart. I'm a fan of Martha Stewart and I'm interested into the book.

Difficult to listen to. Vocal Fry. Uptick.
I have read and listened to a lot of Self Help titles over three decades so I wasn't expecting to learn much from this conversation and the conversation met this expectation. There were some mild insights scattered through the 40 minutes of audio. But for at least half of the titles that they mentioned they didn't say anything significant about it. I would have preferred that they mention fewer titles and talk more about them. A great deal of the time in this audio is spent mentioning titles and and the editors telling how they felt about those books rather than objectively evaluating them. I think that if the editors were to revisit this category they would be better served adding a psychologist to the conversation and dropping the total participant count down to four at most. The audio is too crowded with too many indistinguishable voices.
Unfortunately the editors don't have the elocution habits of a narrator. I had difficulty picking out the individual voices but I think at least three of them had at least one bad vocal habit. The ones I picked out were vocal fry and uptick and both habits are grating to listen to. I probably won't listen to any more of these editor conversations.

A Tough Subject
Story: 3-Stars
************
The regular episode hosts do not demonstrate a particular expertise or enthusiasm for the self-help genre, so the producers take the opportunity (the absence of two of the show's regulars) to bring in self-help experts for the discussion.
The breadth of the genre make this a challenge to cover succinctly, though they do illustrate that, despite what we think our feelings for the topic are, we all look to self-help sources at many points in our lives. More than any other genre, how we approach the material psychologically (do we WANT help?) determines the import and effectiveness of this kind of title.
There is a decent bit of discussion on how other genres can cross over into the self-help realm that felt somewhat random and meandering.
Performance: 3-Stars
*******************
Like other episodes where the show doesn't fall into neatly categorized parts, the show does not feel tightly constructed. Making up for it to some degree are some intimate anecdotes shared by the hosts. They clearly continue to look for ways to connect on a deeper, personal level with their audience. That takes courage and vulnerability to do so to a large audience of strangers.

Self Help, Personal Development
In the past year or two this genre has become a favorite of mine, so I was extremely happy to listen to this episode of Audicted. I enjoyed listening to all your different takes on personal development books, and that you each touched on what has given you a reservation about reading in this topic area. As with every episode I heard you all mention titles I have already heard of and some I hadn't yet heard of but will go look up. It is nice you mentioned comedy as well as prescriptive self help titles. Great episode in my opinion! Thank you for sharing.

Self Help?
I really didn't agree with or like most of their self help suggestions, a few of the books seemed entirely depressing.
