Be All You Can Be!
In general, people are softer, more open and more self-nurturing, and we are increasingly interested in applying psychology to improving our health, well-being and potential for greatness and success. We recognise that life is short and that we owe it to ourselves to make the most of our god-given talents and time.There are even glossy magazines such as 'Psychologies'!
Of course, there is fortunately now also plenty of help to hand and numerous therapists, coaches and counsellors with words of wisdom, encouragement and advice, and different approaches to motivate us to set realistic goals, overcome fear and obsessions, and to think positively and gain in confidence. Dreams can become reality!
Similarly, there are many excellent personal development books on the market, (some revamps of original classics). Below are just a few of my favourites............

- Hi Sherridan
I have added the 'Magic of Thinking Big' to your list - have to admit I am a personal development junkie, and I have already read and enjoyed many of the books suggested! Have yet to find fame and fortune, but I certainly feel more empowered!
Keep up the good work
