Best self help?

The thing about many great books out there is that any single one of them can be a massive impact or the change in your life, but its not the book that changes you -- its you. You finally make the decision mentally, emotionally, spiritually, subconciously even,to change. It just so happens that at the moment you were reading whatever book, listening to any tape, talking to a mentor, etc that something "clicks"

You finally NEED to be more then you are, the tools in front of your are just a tool in the right place at the right time .

I agree with what you are saying here, the fact is that unless you are ready to hear something and understand it, it will be meaingless to you- you can read it and it just doesn't click. With that said, I was just interested to see what has had an impact on other people.

I have lived what can only be described as an interesting life. It has not been the nicest in a lot of ways, however I know that I would not be the person I am now without the things that have happened to me. I have wisdom and experience that cannot be taught, it can only be learnt. I used to have low esteem and not to think that I deserved good things and I used to live in fear of what tomorrow would bring. However I worked on myself and my problems, and it took time, and I now realise just how powerful a person I am. I am intelligent, compassionate, tolerant and highly capable of amazing things.

I am not looking for self help in order to change myself- I want to expand my learning. I think that we can all learn a lot from each other, and sometimes another person's perspective can make you think of something in a new and interesting way.

My own personal belief is that life is about learning. I think that we should never ever say that we know it all, that we are fine the way we are. There is always more to learn, and I never want to stop learning.

The best thing that could help my self is to know what i really want in life then make an action, but before that you must trust your self first to have the courage in doing what you want.

I think Tony Robbins would help you but you would also have to take action.

There are many great books worth to mention here. But, basically, you can`t miss with any of these great authors:
-Anthony Robbins
-Dr.Stephen Covey
-Brian Tracy
-Dale Carnegie
-Napoleon Hill
-Robert T. Kiyosaki
-Jim Rohn
-Mark Victor Hanson

Hello, Paris:

I have a list of self-help, motivational books, videos and CDs, but one of my favourites and the one that got me truly focused on development is the book (and audio program - I have both!), Earl Nightingale's Greatest Discovery.

I am also a HUGE Brian Tracy fan. I have a number of his audio programs and other materials. In fact, because I am such a fan, I've begun to market Brian's products on my StarrBizz.com website. I've written homepage articles as well as blogs about some of his programs.

Perhaps my favourite Brian Tracy program is the Universal Laws of Success and Achievement. I bought this program years ago and still refer to it regularly. You can read more about it in my web biz blog post, Brian Tracy Wants You..., if you want.

Best self help for me is when we came to realize the wrong things we've done. I believe that it is a must that we analyze who we are. We need to check every aspects of our lives especially the ones we need to change. The moment we knew what's wrong with us, it will be a bit easy to change our lives and develop it.

Book are good for reminders, but it does not trigger us to take action.

Another thing is that, in terms of self help, I recommend that you think of 1 to 3 person whom you admire most. Probably they are achievers, intelligent, highly motivated, good attitude etc.. Then don't just check their life but get the most lessons out of them. If you can interview them, better!

For me, personal encounters and interviews is much helpful than just reading :-)

I can't recommend personal development and meditation enough. I used have depressively low self esteem and anorexia and I healed them both myself through personal development, spirituality and meditation. I'm the happiest I've ever been and I'm back to healthy. It's amazing what personal development does for you in every aspect of your life; physical, psychological, spiritual, professionally, in your relationships, and your general happiness and fulfillment in life. It's all a choice which must be worked on everyday. Here are some books I highly recommend which helped me immesurably:
