Help Yourself Books

It´s a jungle out there if you want to find
a good self-help book isn´t?
The books are all saying pretty much the same thing I guess
but I can´t stop myself from reading them all the time.
I think they have helped me to understand my own power and not at least my responsibility for how my life can turn out
- or not turn out for that matter.
And they make you think about
HOW you think and WHAT you think about.

"Samuel Smiles (1812-1904) published the first self-consciously personal-development "self-help" book — entitled Self-Help — in 1859. Its opening sentence: "Heaven helps those who help themselves", provides a variation of "God helps them that help themselves."(http://www.wikipedia.com/)

and how about this Mega hit;

"Some commentators suggest that Dale Carnegie (1888-1955) began the self-help movement in the 20th century when he published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Having failed in several careers, Carnegie became fascinated with success and its link to self-confidence, and studied the subject for years. Carnegie's books have since sold over 50 million copies."
