10 LIFE Changing Self-Help Books
Author: lucky
Every year thousand of self-help books are written and published and coupled with the fact that tens of thousands have already been published through the years, choosing a self-help book out of the too plenty ones on offer to read can be overwhelming. In fact, that was my situation years back when I was starting out on personal development. I was desperate to improve my life and knew I needed to read books, but I just did not know which ones were right for me.
So, what did I do? I did a research on google and amazon for the top self-help books. And I settle for Think and Grow Rich. I read that book again and again. Since then I have read hundreds of books on self-help. Some of them are awesome, some are indifferent and some are positively harmful. So, how do you chose out of all the self-help books on offer? Here are my personal top 10 pick to help you get started on building your own reading list.

And many other things may have changed, but human nature hasn\'t changed over all these years. If your people skills are lacking, this book will teach you all the basic skills you need to deal with other people.

This book is one of my favorite self-help book for women. It address the issue of fear, and how it can hold us back.

Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway is the ideal book for anyone who wants to master his fears and achieve something with his life.
