The Best Help. Self Help.
Feeling down and out? Suffering from depression? Is Murphy's Law in full effect in your life? "What can go wrong, will."
Does everything you try to correct the problems in your life fail, or even make things worse?
Maybe your love life is in trouble or non-existent. You could feel that your only one straw away from the camels back breaking.
You may not believe me when I tell you this, but no matter how bad your situation is, there is help.
I can say that because I was once down and out too. My life, at one point, did not seem to be worth living. I would not have killed myself, but I did believe that I would be better off dead.
Then, due to a fluke, I ended up in the self help section of a book store. Because of this fluke, I started reading these books that I hoped would bring me out of my fog and help me find the answers that I needed.
It is sad to say, but many of the self help books that I found did nothing more than help fill the authors pockets with my money. After tons of reading, and many books later, I found some books that did help bring me out of my doom and gloom mood, lifted my spirit, straightened out my thinking, and gave me the answers that I needed to live a much happier and fulfilled life.
That is what prompted me into putting this page of 10 best self help books together.
Not only to help you find answers and to have a happier and more fulfilled life, but to help you avoid reading through all the "crap" self help books out there, like I did, and help you to find some that I believe have "true" value.
This is a list, and review, of the top self help books that helped me.
They helped me when I did not know what to do about my life. More or less, this list,Top 10 Best Self Help Books, is a selection of books that I believe will help anyone. Even those who do not feel they need self help, because in truth, we all have room to improve, and as living proof, I believe that self help books, are one of the best ways to do this.
If you ask, what is self help? To me, it is the best help.
They may not be the best selling self help books of all time. But they may be the best self help books of all time for men and for women.
There is only one self help secret, it is all up to you.

No. 8 Cut the CRAP
Cut the CRAP and Resolve Your Problems by David R. Cox and Donald A. Sanders

Cut the CRAP and Resolve Your Problems by David R. Cox and Donald A. Sanders
I can not say this better, so, a description I found on Amazon...
"CRAP comes in many forms, but broken down into its four component parts, the authors of this really practical, straight-from-the-shoulder book identify the four main components.
"C"atastrophizing -- putting a worst possible spin on any event (even before it happens);
"R"ationalizing -- the misuse of logical thought;
"A"gonizing -- the fear that keeps us from making decisions (no matter how small); and
"P"rocrastinating -- putting off things as long as possible (often, too long).
Anyone can take control of their own life. It really is as simple as implementing the easy-to-understand and easy-to-use strategies found in the pages of this highly positive book. You can experience a revitalized YOU in just a matter of days.
Don't let the minefields of indecision and fear keep you from acieving your goals and reaching the personal success you desire. You really can learn to Cut the CRAP out of your life and resolve the problems that are holding you back."
So cut the "Crap." Learn how stop procrastinatiing, start with this book.

No. 7 The Road Less Traveled
No. 7 The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck

The Road Less Traveled, by M. Scott Peck
A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth
As in all self help books, You take what you can, and drop the rest. With The Road Less Traveled, by M. Scott Peck, he shows us that "life is difficult," but that because it is difficult, life is a good thing. The stories he tells are inspirational, but at times, he borders on the (what I would call) odd. Like I said, you take what you can, drop the rest. The main life lesson, shown in The Road Less Traveled, makes this book worth the read.

No. 6 As a Man Thinketh
As a Man Thinketh by James Allen

As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
This book may be a classic, but the basic principles still hold true today. It shows the simple truth to people, that "they themselves are makers of themselves". It builds on the Bible verse. "As a man thinketh, so he is", Mr. Allen insists that it is within the power of each person to form his own character and create his own happiness. For most people, that is a hard lesson to learn. It was for me.

No. 4 Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

Emotional Intelligence
If you have ever felt like you are "just not smart enough," this book is for you. Emotional Intelligence, by Daniel Goleman,teaches us that it is our E.Q., not so much our I.Q., that matters most. If we lack in our emotional intelligence, the things that matter most in our lives suffer. Those with high E.Q. have better relationships, careers, and success, compared to those with just high I.Q.s
Mr. Goleman also shows us practical ways to improve our E.Q. and why it is important to do so. This is not to say that your I.Q. is not important, but he does give great case samples as to how the higher E.Q. "Score" improves your life.

No. 3 Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman
Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life
Learned OptimismLearned Optimism, by Martin Seligman, is a bit of a case study/report about optimism and pessimism. He goes over the nuts and bolts as to what makes up each, and how they are both, more or less, learned behaviors. He informs us that pessimists feel helpless and that they believe that the bad things that happen in their lives are their own fault.(It is way more in depth than that) The good new is, he tells us that "pessimism is escapable."
He also provides you self tests to determine your level of optimism/pessimism. Then in the final chapters he helps to teach you the skills of changing from pessimism to optimism. This change was one of the best changes I ever made, and this book can help you do it too.

No. 2 First Things First
First Things First, by Stephen R Covey
First Things FirstThis book, First Things First, by Stephen R. Covey may be No. 2 on my list, but it is more of an extension of the No. 1 book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. First Things First, helps you to place what is truly important in your life, as first in your life. It is way more than just a time management book. It can help you to find balance between your personal and professional responsibilities without compromising your integrity. The organizing process that Mr. Covey will share with you, will help you to zone in on what is truly important to you, not just what may "seem" urgent. It also reinforces, and helps you to apply, what you learn in The 7 Habits.

No. 1 The Best of The Best in Self Help Books
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Let me start out by saying, I think that this is the best self help book ever. I can not say enough good things about this book. Had I not found the 7 Habits, by Stephen R. Covey, I believe that the "rotten" part of my life would have lasted for much longer than it did. The habits found in this book can literally save your life, if you choose to apply them.
Though The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People was written as a leadership development guide, and not as a self help book, it is so applicable to peoples every day life, that it started to find it's way into that line. The way Mr. Covey lays out the 7 Habits, as well as the down home stories he tells to illustrate them, helps the reader to find meaning, as well as, practical use for them in their own lives.
I often tell people that if they read no other book in their life, this is the book to read. I also recommend the C.D./tape to go with it, because it helps bring out the meaning of the habits a bit more than just reading the written word. If nothing else, this book is a must have.

- Yes, this is a great collection of self-help books - none of which I've
read, but most of which I've heard of. Though my first self-help book was a positive
thinking self help book based on Norman Vincent Peale's I'm sure. And then I started
reading about love, and forgiveness and soon my
self help book list turned a bit more spiritual! From your list I think I
would want to read #3
Anyway, thanks
Steve
