I read self-improvement books from time to time.
Which area of self-improvement are you looking at?

But normally, I just pick up anything that catches my eye first

Jack Canfield - The Success Principles and the "Chicken Soup For the Soul" series
Richard Templar - "The Rules" series (The Rules of Work, The Rules of Management, The Rules of Life etc)
Gary Chapman - The Five Love Languages

Before you read any of those, go and pick out this book by James Allen. As a Man Thinketh.
That's all you need to start, really.
You will know without a doubt that your LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS. No luck. No fate. No nothing. Very simple. It just lets you know in no uncertain terms that there are no excuses. Either you do or don't. Life is a choice.
It is written some time ago so the English is old style. Takes some getting used to... but very thin book. Thinnest book I have ever read.
AS YOU THINK - SO YOU BECOME.
Use your mind. Be the person you dreamt of being. | |

kinda sad ya... | I agree. Maybe only 1% of the Rich Dad Poor Dad readers actually benefitted. I saw people recommending this book here and some other forums. But have these people actually practise what's preached inside the book..e.g starting own biz...going into real estate. I guess the author is the one that has benefitted the most.

my mom is reading some book about positive thinking, a positive state of mind would be very helpful in daily life..
But u know what i usually do? its called going to the LIBRARY!! the psycology section is right next to the self improvement section, there u can slowly browse through a few books which catches your attention  then if u really want to buy that book, just go to a bookstore and purchase it!
i find borrowing books are more worth it than buying books, a good book on self improvement costs about $15+, while the same book in a library costs $0..
*cheers* | |
