I hate to disagree with you 

self help has helped me a lot and I've been able to achieve the things I have because someone helped me, taught me and guided me through books and stuffs like that

a lot of people aren't privilege to be born into an educated society and so they have to struggle 

a few bad eggs doesn't mean the whole bunch is bad

I don't like when people generalize stuff

I've also empowered over 300 people who are successful as well so not everything is about money, purpose is greater than money
