Self-help books that really help!

I'm a self-help addict.  Don't get me wrong - I don't have weird problems that I've been in therapy for for years and years, I just love a good book that teaches you how to do something new and become a better person.

This is a list of the best self-improvement books as I've read them.  Feel free to agree or disagree, but in any case, try them out. You may be pleasantly surprised!

Oh yah, great collections. I added it on my favorites. A good book is a good teacher and good friend, providing meaningful advice and guidance. Someone ever recommended me the book "Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential by Joel Osteen", but I haven't read yet. People's potential is unlimited. I'll take some time to read it. Here I would like to share a related site about online studies including various online courses. Please check out if you have interests.
