Suggest me a self-help book that actually changed your life
I’m really into self improvement rn and getting more in touch with myself (as corny as that sounds) I’ve read some books on meditation and mindfulness but I’m curious to know what books changed your life.
Cliche perhaps but Think and Grow Rich and anything by Jim Rohan, especially his video or audio speeches. While they don’t really sell or give away the secret sauce, for me, they provided just enough motivation or inclination to keep striving, keep pushing. The messages are very powerful and straightforward.

“Change your thoughts, Change your Life”. I found it helpful to listen too every once in a while.
But “Great Courses: Cognative Behavioral Therapy” really helped me cope with a massive job loss. Read that book slowly over months.
Also “The 7 principles of make a martiage work” helped me in my marriage.
I read a bunch of books by Robert Greene – on people, companies, and power sturctures.

I enjoyed The War of Art by Steven Pressfield (not Art of War). It provided good advice for overcoming barriers that stifle the creative process. It helped me to be more professional and ‘show up’ everyday and make incremental progress.

Speaking of corny… I have really been inspired by SARK. Especially:

have you heard of [“Maybe You Should Talk to Someone” by Lori Gottlieb](https://abookaweek.beehiiv.com/p/stories-therapists-chair)? It really touched me emotionally. The book dives into mental health, self-awareness, and growth in such a relatable way. It shows how seeking help and understanding ourselves better can be transformative. Gottlieb shares real stories, including her own struggles, which demystifies therapy and makes it feel totally approachable. It might just inspire you to explore your own emotions and be more open about vulnerability—it’s that good!
