No sé cómo traducir "self-help" en la frase siguiente. ¿Significa que cada cual mire por sí mismo? El contexto es la situación de suníes y chiíes en Iraq tras la invasión americana:
The most important Sunni figures called on their followers to be patient and prepare for the coming battle with the regime. Some Shi'i leaders urged caution and ***self-help***, adopting a quietist approach on political matters.
