520 $aA delightful history of Americans' obsession with advice and self-help -- from Poor Richard to Dr. Spock to Miss Manners. -- From book jacket.
520 $aWe've always loved seeking advice-- so long as it's anonymous, and as long as it's clear that we're not asking for ourselves; we're just asking for a friend. And from the colonial era on, there have always been people eager to step up and offer advice, some of it lousy, some of it thoughtful, but all of it read and debated by generations of Americans. Weisberg takes readers on a tour of the advice-givers who have made their names, and sometimes their fortunes, by telling Americans what to do. -- adapted from jacket.
