Self-help books are usually defined as a genre of literature that provides advice, strategies, and techniques to help individuals improve aspects of their personal lives. These books typically focus on topics like mental health, personal growth, productivity, relationships, career development, and overall well-being.

Jughead Jones Is My Spirit Animal. Top Story - August 2023.
Some time ago, I mentioned in an earlier story that I'm a big fan of Archie comics, with the fandom beginning with an Archie comic book being a childhood birthday present. In the time that passed, I collected a lot of the Archie comic books, digests, double digest, and even subscribed for a brief period. I've read so many of the comics so habitually that I can even recite some of them. I've read a lot of adaptations and I've seen the Archie characters on various programs, the main one being the CW series, Riverdale. Throughout all of this, for three decades, there has been one constant: my favorite character has always been Jughead Jones.
