I thought Margaret's answer was pretty good, just wanted to add that, to be honest, I think self-help books are one of the easier books to activate, and agree that they usually only take me about half an hour. The only one that has given me problems was "Flow" by Mihaly Chizenthmi-something (I will never get that name right). But other self-help ones have come relatively quickly.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not bragging or trying to be mean or anything, I'm saying that self-help books usually aren't one of the types of books where I have to resort to rapid reading.
