selfhelp

DIY personal growth

Self-help is the practice of improving oneself or solving one's own problems without relying on others.

The term most often describes a genre of books, programs, and media offering guidance on personal development, relationships, finances, or mental health: The self-help section of the bookstore.

Self-help can also refer to legal remedies you pursue without court involvement, or mutual support groups where people with shared problems assist each other.
