Ask 500 experts or read this book
While this is not true research - no double blind, or placebo controls - this is pretty impressive anecdotal evidence. 500 psychologists and therapists recommend what self-help books really do help, and which are mediocre or downright dangerous. My only complaint is that it is now 9 years old - many new books have been written based on good research (see John Gottman - "Why Marriages Succeed or Fail" and Prochaska, DiClemente, and Norcross - "Changing for Good")

Where is the second edition?
