Good books?

Hey everyone, looking for some good self-improvement books...

Last one I read was the Dalai Lama's "The Art of Happiness in a Troubled World" -- changed my whole outlook on life, I would suggest it to anyone.

What do you suggest?

    One of the best books I read recently was James Allen's As a man thinketh.

    It's short and profound! Of course, if you want to read more about other books I like and highly recommend you can check out my blog, specifically the thread Top Self Help Books - Most Influential Books and Audiobook List . Best of luck!

    Nothing but rave reviews for Psycho Cybernetics on Amazon.com -- looks pretty cool. You've read it right? If you could boil down the philosophy what would you say it's all about?

      Psycho Cybernetics basically revolves around the idea that the physical brain and the nervous system are a servo-mechanism that we use as a goal-seeking device. In essence, our results and our behaviors are a result of our self-image.

      It's a very powerful book that really opened my eyes to some things about the picture I have of myself and what it means for my achievements.

      Recommended!

      Cheers,

      Josip

    Psycho Cybernetics is, of course, a classic.
    My most recent read is this area was Tal Ben-Shahar's "Happier." It is fantastic, tying our happiness to our pursuit of our own Integrity. I highly recommend it. (It's not a self-help book. It's a brief explanation of studies done at Yale regarding happiness.)
