Higher rates of mental illness are accelerating the need for the personal development industry by increasing the demand for resources that promote mental health and well-being. As mental health issues become more prevalent, individuals are seeking personal development tools such as stress management programs, self-help books on anxiety & depression, and mindfulness practices.
According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness, in 2021, 22.8% of the U.S. adults experienced mental illness, which adds up to 57.8 million people of the total population.
