This article relates to SHAM
The USA spends about $8 billion a year on self-help programs and products. To put this in context, according to Photius.com, out of 231 countries in the world, 85 of them have GDPs of less than $8 billion. In other words, if 'Self-Help USA' was a country it would rank 140th in the world! Add in diet products and the ranking would move up to the mid-60s!
This "beyond the book article" relates to SHAM. It originally ran in July 2005 and has been updated for the
September 2006 paperback edition.
