Are motivational books/self-help books useful?

Hi everyone,

I am on a difficult quest of helping my childhood friend lose weight. We're both 30, and he's been overweight since he was a teenager. Another friend of mine suggested that my overweight friend reads David Goggins' "Can't Hurt Me" book. It's apparently very inspirational not least because Goggins himself used to be fat and is now an incredible athlete and former navy seal.

I don't read self-help or similar books myself, but I was curious as to whether these sorts of books had an impact on your weight loss journey. I might buy my friend a physical copy. I sent him an e-version already but I doubt he'll read an entire book on his computer.
