If you’re new to the self-development arena, you’ve probably seen a lot of book shelves. The self-development book market is huge with hundreds of titles offered in print and on digital platforms. But which are the best books? Should you read them? And do they really help you grow as an individual? Let’s take a look at some of the top self-development titles available today.
The Twelve Pillars by Jim Rohn. The Twelve Pillars contains all of Rohn’s years of research on how habits related to money and success can be developed. The book includes how to identify habits that foster insecurity, anger, jealousy, guilt, self-doubt, and others. Rohn says by breaking down these habits into tiny steps, you can begin to undo the cycle and create more healthy habits. These include improving communication skills, taking baby steps, reframing past failures as opportunities for growth, taking honest feedback from others, changing your thinking, improving your lifestyle, and setting aside time to meditate and think.
The Power Of Full Engagement by Amy Waterman. This is another of Amy Waterman’s self-development book series that focuses on how to use motivation to develop your inner power. It includes techniques for handling the “awkward” moments that occur when you least expect them, such as when putting together a presentation or sharing your thoughts with a client. The Power Of Full Engagement also shares how you can channel the passion you have for whatever activity you’re doing into productive action.
The Magic Of Making A Good Choice by Julia Shaw. This is one of Julia’s self-development book series that focuses on creating positive habits. In this collection, you’ll find the 12 Habits That Change Everything – secrets to setting yourself free from fear, insecurity, pain, worry, and doubt. Julia talks about how you can reclaim your sense of self by making choices that align with who you are as a person. She believes that everyone has the ability to take control of their lives and become successful at what they want to do. This collection contains many of the same principles used in her other personal development books, such as How To Get What You Want Out Of Life and Think Positively.
The Complete Self-Help Book Collection by Julia Shaw. If you are looking for ways to take control of your own life, this may be one of the self-development books that you are considering purchasing. This collection includes topics like overcoming relationship problems, self-confidence, improving your physical health, improving your financial security, becoming a better team player, managing change, accepting and enjoying happiness, improving your self-esteem, quitting smoking, quitting alcohol dependence, becoming an effective volunteer, improving your quality of relationships, and much more. All of these topics are covered in great detail in this self-development book. The Complete Self-Help Book Collection may even motivate you to take action and make a difference in your own life.
Radical Self-Development by Jim Rohn. This is another of the self-help books that will inspire you to take action. It focuses on how self-esteem is affected by what society thinks about a person’s behavior, which makes a big difference when it comes to personal growth. This collection of short book is chock full of tips and strategies for transforming your own negative thinking into more positive thoughts and actions. In addition to motivating you to achieve greater levels of success, it helps to take your own life out of a rut and show the world what you are made of.
The Humble Inquiry by Jim Rohn. A favorite self-development book of mine, The Humble inquiry lays out the top ten things that keep people from achieving their goals. This book is not only a motivational tool, but it also teaches you how to become a gracious inquisitor, which is a more appropriate term for a passionate inquisitor.
The Complete Self-Development Book Collection may have all of these book reviews to recommend it, but what it lacks in is a list of recommendations for buying the books. The Humble inquiry is lacking on this because its message is more for inspire people to grow rich through being humble. I prefer to read books that give inspiration to action, and then give tips on how to get rich through being humble. If you want a self-development book that gives specific tips on how to make money from home or how to grow rich, check out the lists at the end of this article. There are several other personal development books that make good recommendations if you’re looking for something more specific to your own goals.
