Summary

This quote humorously highlights the irony of seeking self-help advice. When the speaker asks for assistance in finding the self-help section, the saleswoman cleverly implies that true self-help should come from within, and if she were to direct the speaker to the section, it would defeat the very purpose of seeking self-improvement and personal growth. This quote underscores the notion that true transformation and empowerment begin when individuals take it upon themselves to seek answers and discover their own path.
