The Best Personal Growth Books Recommended by You

General

Last week I asked your help to give your recommendations on best books for personal growth. Thanks to your contributions, there are now 15 books on my list. Many of them are absolutely new to me. It’s always exciting to learn about new resources I wasn’t aware of before.

I’m sure the recommended books can also be useful to all readers, so here I’d like to give you the complete list. Here they are:

  • From Kate Davis: Help Yourself Get Everything Done ; Do It Tomorrow
  • From Rexpop: Your Memory ; The Memory Book
  • From Lawrence Cheok: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
  • From Corinne Edwards: The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent ; Spiritual Divorce
  • From Martin Hughes: Tricks of the Mind by Derren Brown (I can’t find the book on Amazon)
  • From Dave: The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
  • From Luciano Passuello: How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci
  • From Miguel: Maximum Achievement
  • From Andrew Rondeau: Now, Discover Your Strengths ; The Dream Manager
  • From Kirsten Harrell: The Joy of Living ; The Heart of the Soul

I don’t think I can read all these books by the end of this year (since there are so many of them), but I will definitely check them out. Thanks for your participation!

  2. I was surprised to see that no one put Tim Ferriss’s “The Four-Hour Work Week” on your list. It is an entertaining book about how to spend your life on meaningful pursuits.

  3. Kirsten,
    I share the same feeling as you. The books in the list give us new opportunities to learn and grow.

    William,
    I agree with you that The 4-Hour Workweek is a great book. Thanks for the reminder!

  4. I was surprised no one added ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill. It’s classic.

    Anyway, there is definitely a positive result from this post for me – I’ve added few more books to my “ToRead” list. Thanks Donald!

  5. Back in the 1980s I read the book “The 25-hour woman” by Sybil Stanton. It changed my life. It teaches the same things other people began teaching later, but it places special emphasis on the modern woman’s need to be everything to everyone, or superwoman. I highly recommend it, even for men.
