<\/div>

Self-help and personal development material is one of those things that’s either embraced with open arms, or pushed away like a bad meal. I prefer the former. And I’m guessing that if you’re reading this article right now, you’re (at least) thinking about embracing this list of self-help books below.<\/p>\n

So, without further ado, here are 15 of the best self-help books available today. Hopefully they’ll help you make as many\u00a0positive strides towards your own personal development as they have\u00a0for me.<\/p>\n

1. \u201c<\/b>Flow<\/b>\u201d by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Let\u2019s kick this party off with a quick little exercise: imagine for a moment that you\u2019re working on something\u2014a project, perhaps\u2014and this thing you\u2019re working on; it happens to be something you absolutely love doing.\u00a0It\u2019s also something you\u2019re damn good at, too \u2026 How do you feel when you\u2019re doing this type of work?\u00a0Does it make you feel good? Does it energize you? Do hours seem to fly by like minutes? If yes, then you\u2019re probably in what\u2019s known as a \u201cflow\u201d state.\u00a0Wondering how you might be able to bring more flow into your life?\u00a0Pickup this book.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

2.\u00a0“<\/a><\/b>The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People<\/a><\/b>\u201d by Stephen Covey<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock for couple of decades, chances are you\u2019ve heard of\u00a0\u201dThe 7 Habits\u201d<\/a>\u00a0by the late great Stephen Covey \u2014 but have you actually read it and put it to use as the self-help book it was meant to be used as?\u00a0If not, then now\u2019s the time to consider doing that.\u00a0The power of this book comes from the timeless principles (or habits) it\u2019s based off of. Each of the habits laid out in this book are designed to act as individual prescriptions for effectiveness in every area of life: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. \u201c<\/a><\/b>Willpower<\/a><\/b>\u201d by Roy F. Baumeister, John Tierney<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

I learned a super crucial self-help lesson from \u201cWillpower<\/a>\u201d.\u00a0Here it is: There are basically two qualities that correlate with success: one of them is intelligence and the other is self-control. So far scientists haven\u2019t figured out what to do about intelligence, but they\u00a0have<\/i>\u00a0re-discovered how to improve self-control. That\u2019s what this book is about \u2014 improving impulse control \u2014 which is probably the most under-estimated aspect of self-help that there is.\u00a0Get this book. It\u2019ll change the way you live your life.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

4. \u201c<\/a><\/b>The ONE Thing<\/a><\/b>\u201d by Gary Keller, Jay Papasan<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

Think of the ONE thing you ultimately want to do with your life, career, or business over the long-run. Once you\u2019ve got that in your mind, think about how many dominoes you need to line up\u2014and then knock down\u2014in order to achieve it. Simple right? Actually, yeah. It is. But just because it\u2019s simple doesn\u2019t make\u00a0it\u00a0easy.\u00a0That\u2019s why \u201cThe ONE Thing\u201d is such a powerful book.<\/a>\u00a0According to the authors, the key to success is figuring out your ONE most important goal \u2014 in your business, career, health, relationships, and every other area of life that matters to you \u2014 and knocking down one domino at a time until you\u2019ve achieved that ONE goal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. \u201c<\/a><\/b>Psycho Cybernetics<\/a><\/b>\u201d by Maxwell Maltz<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

Get this:\u00a0“Pyscho Cybernetics” was written by a plastic surgeon<\/a>\u00a0who decided that one day, he wanted to help his patients see their beauty from the\u00a0inside-out\u00a0<\/i>as opposed to the\u00a0outside-in,\u00a0<\/i>which is presumably why most of them walked into his office.\u00a0This is a surprisingly powerful little self-help book<\/a>\u00a0that’s packed with practical advice on\u00a0improving confidence<\/a>, overcoming fear, and more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

6. \u201c<\/a><\/b>The Power of Habit<\/a><\/b>\u201d by Charles Duhigg<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

The interesting thing about habits, is that once we develop them, they go about totally un-noticed in our day-to-day activities. For example: you probably don\u2019t think about how many simultaneous actions go into reversing your car out of the garage and into the street safely and smoothly\u2026 you just do it. That\u2019s a habit.\u00a0But so is smoking<\/a>.\u00a0“The Power of Habit”<\/a>\u00a0teaches you how to be deliberate about building better habits that serve you both in life and in business.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. \u201c<\/a><\/b>Meditations<\/a><\/b>\u201d by Marcus Aurelius<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

“Meditations” is filled with Stoic wisdom that\u2019s just as applicable to the world we live in today, as it was when it was when it was first written 1,800 years ago. The remarkable thing about the advice in this book, and the reason it shows up on this list, is because a vast portion of the spiritual principles that were practiced and written down so many centuries ago, have since been confirmed by science to be effective on our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.\u00a0Find out more by picking up a copy of this age-old text to see if you can bring a little old-school Stoic wisdom to the 21st century.<\/a><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0<\/a><\/b>\u201cGetting Things Done\u201d<\/a><\/b>\u00a0by David Allen<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

Yah know \u2014 you can have some of the greatest, most innovative ideas in the world \u2014 and have every single one of them flop due to a lack of ability to EXECUTE. If you lack the willingness + capability to get things done with effectiveness + efficiency, it doesn\u2019t matter how great your ideas are because when it\u2019s all said and done, success depends upon consistent action. Which is exactly why\u00a0David Allen’s “Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity\u201d<\/a>\u00a0makes for such a crucial read.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9.\u00a0<\/a><\/b>\u201dHow To Win Friends and Influence People\u201d<\/a><\/b>\u00a0by Dale Carnegie<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

Decades before we had the science and research to prove the power of\u00a0Emotional Intelligence<\/a>, Dale Carnegie had already written the definitive guide on how to leverage it to our lives and in our businesses.\u00a0“How To Win Friends and Influence People”<\/a>\u00a0is one of those self-help books that seriously needs to be in everyone\u2019s collection. I\u2019ve lost count how many friends I\u2019ve gotten copies of it for.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. \u201c<\/a><\/b>Waking Up<\/a><\/b>\u201d\u00a0by Sam Harris<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

Still teetering on which box to check under the \u201cReligious Preference\u201d category?\u2014Or whether to check any of the boxes at all? It\u2019s not as big of a deal as it used to be.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0\u201dWakin<\/a>g<\/a>\u00a0Up\u201d<\/a>, neuroscientist Sam Harris breaks down the science behind how the brain relates to consciousness \u2014 and how that relates to spirituality \u2014 showing us that you can, indeed be spiritual without religion.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

11. \u201cLeaders Eat Last\u201d by Simon Sinek<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

\u201cLeaders Eat Last\u201d<\/a>\u00a0is a self-help book disguised as a leadership book. In the book, author Simon Sinek\u00a0lays out actionable insights about why leaders need to replace the old \u201ccarrot & stick\u201d models of management with more sustainable approaches, that are grounded in empathy and designed to boost engagement and a sense of camaraderie that\u2019s missing in the modern workplace\u2026\u00a0Pick this book up if you plan on \u2014 or already are \u2014 leading a career or business that\u2019s comprised of teams of people that depend on working together in order to succeed.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

12.\u00a0<\/a><\/b>\u201dGive and Take\u201d<\/a><\/b>\u00a0by Adam Grant<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

Some people say that the only way to get ahead in life is to crush our enemies and claw our way to the top. Followers of this way of thinking believe it doesn\u2019t matter how many fingers you need to step on to get to the top, it just matters that you get to the top. This is non-sense.\u00a0And in his book, \u201dGive and Take\u201d<\/a>, author Adam Grant has the research to prove it. Grant says that the true drivers of success are centered not around\u00a0taking<\/i>, but\u00a0giving<\/i>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

13.\u00a0<\/a><\/b>\u201dNever Eat Alone\u201d<\/a><\/b>\u00a0by Keith Ferrazzi<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"never<\/div>\n

The reason why\u00a0\u201cNever Eat Alone\u201d \u2014 a book about connecting with people<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 is on this list because everything in life happens through people. And in this book, author Keith Ferrazzi breaks down the science behind building meaningful relationships. My biggest take-away? Stop trying to \u201cnetwork\u201d with people to get what you want, and start trying to add value instead.\u00a0Just read the book. It\u2019s a game changer.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

14. \u201c<\/a><\/b>Outliers<\/a><\/b>\u201d by Malcolm Gladwell<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

This is a book about success\u2026 and how there\u2019s a lot more to it than being smart and working hard. Maybe you’ve heard of Gladwell’s famous\u00a010,000 hour rule<\/a>\u00a0and how it relates to success – but even then – there’s still so much more to learn about how successful people became so successful in the first place.\u00a0“Outliers” is\u00a0a must-read title if you\u2019re looking for some self-help literature that\u2019s focused on the subtleties and nuances that contributed to the success of icons like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

15. “10{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} Happier” by Dan Harris<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n
\"self-help<\/div>\n

If you\u2019re a skeptic by nature, then this is the book for you.\u00a0<\/a>“10{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} Happier”<\/a>\u00a0was written by news anchor, Dan Harris.\u00a0In the book, he chronicles his run-ins with over-the-top self-help gurus (like the quacks behind\u00a0The Secret<\/i>)\u2014and cross-references their claims with science to determine whether they held up or not. Along the way, he uncovers the intersection of where science meets spirituality. Good stuff.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Which book\u00a0will you read first?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Now that you\u2019ve got this big ole’ list of self-help books \u2014 there\u2019s only one question left: Which one do you read first? Should you go out and get all of them immediately?\u00a0Should you read them all at once?\u00a0So many options. So little time. Ultimately, it\u2019s totally your decision what you do with this list and how you apply it to your life and career.<\/p>\n

But if I may, here\u2019s what I would suggest you consider as you get started:<\/p>\n

– Subscribe to a book summary site, like\u00a0FlashBooks<\/a>\u00a0to get the key-takeaways from the books on this list.<\/p>\n

– If you\u2019d prefer to read an entire book, I would highly suggest that you read\u00a0just ONE book at a time. Sometimes, when we see something new and exciting, we have tendency to want to do\/learn\/read it all at once\u2026 and as we all know, this is nearly impossible to do without stressing ourselves out. So, choose a book. And then commit to reading it from start to finish.<\/p>\n

– If you\u2019re in a rush, try\u00a0Audio books<\/a>, or\u00a0Audiobook summaries.<\/a><\/p>\n

– Finally, if you\u2019re in a\u00a0super\u00a0rush, checkout some YouTube video book summaries,\u00a0like this one.<\/a><\/p>\n
