Is My Dog Is Better at This Than Me a self-help book?

Yes and no. My Dog Is Better at This Than Me by B.K. Larrikin contains genuine wellness advice and 10 practical exercises — but it is also a sustained argument against the self-help industrial complex. The book's position is that dogs already model what the wellness industry charges money to teach: presence, acceptance, rest, play, gratitude, and connection. It is best classified as humor-forward self-help, written for self-help skeptics.
