The books take their name from Self-Help, an 1859 best-seller by Samuel Smiles, but are also known and classified under \"self-improvement\", a term that is a modernized version of self-help. Self-help books moved from a niche position to being a postmodern cultural phenomenon in the late twentieth century."] } } }
