A third of self-help books are written by women. While sure, that means men write most of them, it also means it's not exactly difficult to find self-help written by women. Seems like a very silly reason to ignore a genre. A better reason would be the amount of hucksters that write these books.

I've read several self-help books that changed my lifestyle and perspective (also many that were drivel, it comes with the genre). If you're looking for books by women, these two in particular come to mind:

- The Willpower Instinct by Kelly Mcgonigal

- Dopamine Nation by dr. Anna Lembke
