    Working title: "The Last Self-Help Book You'll Ever Buy."

    It's going to be an exposé about scamming people into buying self-help books which merely regurgitate psycho-platitudes. You know, like "you do it to yourself." I'm going to laugh all the way to the bank. Wanna design a cover for it?

    My self-help book will be one page, indeed, one sentence.

    "Stop wasting your money on self-help books and hire an actual psychologist."

    I expect pushback within the industry.

    Yeah, my proposed book will advise the same thing, but you can't sell a one-page book to a publisher, so there will be some padding. Wanna collaborate on it? I'm good at padding.
