I'm looking for book recommendations that feature a strong character development arc where the protagonist significantly improves their life or makes major strides toward achieving a goal. Some examples of what I’m looking for:
- American Assassin: The main character undergoes intense training, learning martial arts and a new language.
- Ready Player One: There’s a chapter where the protagonist focuses on getting in shape.
- Limitless (movie): There’s a scene where the protagonist cleans his apartment, starts learning new skills like piano and French, and becomes more physically active.
The main thing I’m after is that the book has a motivational aspect, even if this self-improvement arc isn’t the central focus. Ideally, these scenes should inspire action or positive change in some way. Any suggestions?
