50 Self Help Classics Inspirational Books

50 Self Help Classics Inspirational Books To Transform Your Life:

A conventional view of self-help is that it deals with problems, but most of the self-help classics are about possibilities. They can help reveal your unique course in life, form a bridge between fear and happiness, or simply inspire you to be a better person. Self-help is not about the fantasies of the ego, but involves the identification of a project, goal, ideal, or way of being where you can make a big difference. In so doing, you can transform a piece of the world and yourself along with it.

Thousands of books have been written offering the 'secrets' to personal fulfilment and happiness. But which ones can really change your life? Tom Butler-Bowdon has sorted through the bewildering array of choices to bring 50 of the most important life-changing ideas together in this one book. From the second-century meditations of Marcus Aurelius to Stephen Covey, Buddha to Deepak Chopra, and Thoreau to Ayn Rand, Butler-Bowdon summarises each writer's key ideas. 50 Self-Help Classics clarifies how insights from these legendary works can educate and motivate anyone searching for the inspiration to make a meaningful life change. The classics examined here represent the very best of self-help—works that have captured the imagination of millions and inspired readers everywhere to follow their dreams.

"A tremendous resource for anyone seeking a 'bite-sized' look at the philosophies of many self-help legends."
--Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
