Since our recent blog post on “Should you strive for self-acceptance or self-improvement?” we thought it would be nice to share with you some of the books we have found helpful in the area of self-improvement.
There are thousands of books in the self-help category. It is an extremely popular genre. For that reason, it is worth choosing wisely because you could waste your time on content that is simply vacuous or frankly not helpful.
