This came up in a conversation over the weekend when I was firmly told that we ‘oldies’ don’t read self help books. Given that so many of us are dealing with difficult life events like bereavement, illness and chronic pain I wonder if that is true. What do Gransnetters think?

Self help books like Swedish Death Cleaning are often read by older people. My first self-help book was called Help I’ve got a teenager!
Very useful at the time and I passed it on to one DD.
