My Top 5 : What Self-Improvement Books Have Inspired You?

I've been into self-improvement, developing life skills, continual learning & growing, and emotional intelligence for ages -- since the late nineties. It's always been a solo pursuit up until recently when I decided I wanted to share what I have learnt as much as possible.

So here are my top 5 self-improvement books -- books that have changed the course of my life in subtle and positive ways. I hope you find the list useful and interesting. They're not Amazon affiliate links -- they lead to the books on Good Reads. I just want to share and hear from you.

• Neuro-linguistic Programming For Dummies
  by Kate Burton, Romilla Ready
• Change Your Life in Seven Days by Paul McKenna
• Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert B. Cialdini
• Life Coaching Skills: How to Develop Skilled Clients by Richard Nelson-Jones
• The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles

The last two on the list are very recent, in fact, my decision to get into life coaching is a recent thing for me, and I'm still working through that book. But I've found that it can only take a moment for a single, subtle change in perception to trigger positive change in your life.

If you want to find out more about good self-improvement books, there's a group of us talking about the books we've read and which have helped us grow over at Good Reads:
