Rezensionen
"Their book 'Transnational Popular Psychology and the Global Self-help Industry: The Politics of Contemporary Social Change' brings a much-needed theoretical and empirical balance into the scholarship on therapeutic culture and self-help, which has so far focused on the global North, in particular the Anglo-American context. ... the book's remarkable collection of data and its emphasis on multidirectional transnational cultural flows are a vital addition to the literature." (Tatiana Tiaynen-Qadir, Acta Sociologica, Vol. 61 (2), May, 2018)

"This unique book reviews the transnational growth of the self-help industry in the US, UK, Mexico, China, and Trinidad and Tobago. ... the work is unique and valuable in presenting cross-cultural study and understanding of the industry of self-help around the world. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty." (D. L. Loers, Choice, Vol. 54 (3), November, 2016)
