Top Self-help Books
Reading gives you leverage
Top self-help books are listed on this page by Life Strategist and Author – yes, that’s me -Tony Inman. It also includes books related to mindset, Neuro Linguistic Programming or Patterning (NLP) and lots of other cool topics.
I was managing the Book Department of a leading retail company many years ago, when a lady breathlessly rushed up to me and asked, “Can you please tell me where the self-help section is?”
“I could indeed Madam,” I answered politely, “but that would rather defeat the purpose, wouldn’t it?”
Ok, it’s an oldie I know, but it’s a good reminder that if you want to embark on a journey of self-discovery, the more you read, the more you will develop your mind; and all of our achievements begin as a humble thought in our minds. It therefore follows: develop your mind and you increase your chance of succeeding with more of your planned achievements.
To make it easier for you to find the books, I have included links to where you can buy them directly and easily from Amazon.
NB. “We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.”
If you really want to enhance your knowledge and give yourself the edge, shortcut the list and go straight to Tony’s list of ‘must read’ books.
Just in case, you’re looking for a different type of book, here are the links back again:
