Help

By James Little

A few years ago, James Little had a life crisis, sought counseling, and discovered a path to joy and contentment, which he attempts to navigate for himself and the reader in this, his first book, "help." Begun two days before the shootings in Newtown and finished on the day the world was supposed to end, "help." is short, but in its brief span it combines personal biography, pointed instruction, and cultural reductionism into a simple yet powerful and profound philosophy that occupies a category all its own.

James Little

James Little is a 50-something guy who lives in Austin, Texas. He tried to write a book about his experiences in therapy a couple of years ago, wrote a lot of words, and then stopped about halfway through, because he wasn't writing the book he wanted to write. At the end of 2012, after experiencing a sustained and prolonged period of joy, he began to write his book, "help.," and finished it on the day the world was supposed to end. He plans on writing at least two more books, "love." and "children." We'll see what happens.

How do you feel? Do you feel content? Happy? Are you satisfied with what you have and where you are in your life? Do you have positive, mutually beneficial relationships with people, especially those people closest to you?

If you have all these things, then don’t buy this tiny book. You don’t require help.

First, accept that no one else will help you until you help yourself. While you do need others in order to get help, those others won't help you unless you help yourself first.

Fortunately, you already have almost everything you need to get started.
