While it can be said that individual problems are manifestations of the
problems of class society, I think that individuals can sometimes take action
to improve their health and personal circumstances. I’m not aware of any
figures that could tell us how often that happens, but I wouldn’t be surprised
to see that it can happen.
As for affirmations and personal self-confidence, there may be circumstances
where they can help.
For example, if your job is to call on executives and sell them a staff
development program, your attitude may help.
Much less helpful if your job is to weld cars or deliver parcels.
Some years ago I helped a neighbour raise a bit of money by taking her books to
a second hand bookstore. She had a stack of self-help books. I learned that
there is almost no market for second-hand self-help books.
