Self-help or self-improvement is when a person guides himself or herself intellectually, physiologically, physically and emotionally. There are a number of self-help movements and they each have their own techniques, processes and mechanisms that can help people. Many of these self-help movements also have their own gurus or leaders that are propagating their own brand of self help as well.
There are a number of publicly available forums and groups that are created by those that are seeking intervention and an end to their problems through the self-help mechanism. Self help groups have emerged in every field for those that are actively seeking the support. These fields include education, business, professional courses, medical support groups and many others. Some of the benefits that people see when they become part of the self-help forums include friendship, emotional support, a meaningful role in the forum and their life, a feeling of belonging and above all recognition for the work that they are doing.
There are self-help groups that are associated with the medical professionals as well. These groups will consist of those that give the care or are caretakers, the patient and the patient's family. When such help groups meet and share experiences, it can also be a knowledge base for those involved in the group. For many of the patients it can also become a learning experience of how other was able to combat the medical and emotional problems. While some may have cleared the obstacle, others may not be so lucky. The self-help group will actually help those that are unable to clear their problems or are suffering from emotional stress. These groups are also examples of those that give peer-to-peer support also.
For those in other spheres, self help means a constant upgrading of skills and abilities by analysing the previous problems. Many successful people are case studies for those that rely on self-help. The simple reason that they became successful is because they were able to overcome their problems and strived for doing better.
There is also a big market for self help in the US. It has been estimated that the self-help industry is worth almost $9 billion and this figure is for 2006. The self help industry that is being used by people more and more include holistic institutes, self help gurus and leaders, personal coaching market, stress management programs, motivational recordings on CDs seminars and many more.
