标题：What self-help books tell us about ourselves

The genre holds up an unflattering mirror to society

正文：To understand modern self-help books, open “Always Remember: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, the Horse and the Storm”. The sequel to “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse”—and no doubt the prequel to the “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, the Horse and the Massive Royalty Cheque”—these animal parables topped Britain’s bestseller charts at Christmas. They have sold many millions of copies (often a bad sign) and been described as “heartwarming” (a worse one).

知识点：sequel n. /ˈsiːkwəl/
a book, film, play, etc. that continues the story of an earlier one 续集；续篇
