What Is Your Favorite Self Help Book?

I don't want to start a war here but as a Christian I really believe the best self-help-book would be the bible. Years ago I remember seeing all those magazines lined up at the store with titles about how to have a perfect marriage, how to raise a child, how to lose weight yada, yada, yada. And of course being young and naive I thought that's where the answers were. What was really funny was these articles helped me realize I had problems I didn't even know I had. No, when I have issues I go back to the bible. It has always has the answer for me.

Hello, I also like Chicken Soup for the Soul. I find this book in my aunt's bedroom once and I read the stories and liked it since then. Some of the stories even made me cry. I especially remember about a story of a young girl who is dying of cancer. Her mother was the one who told the story and it really made me cry so much. Other self-help book that I like is the seven habits of highly effective people. It is a pretty popular book now. I like how it pushes a person to be a doer instead of just being a thinker. Books on learning foreign languages are also good. I especially like Japanese language lessons!

I'm not really "into" self-help books given the nature of my job but I could recommend research-based popular psychology books that could address the same thing: 1. Flow by Mihaly Cziksentmihalyi -- Concerning research about human motivation and the fulfillment of human potential 2. Thinking Fast, Thinking Slow by Daniel Kahneman -- Concerning the nature of out thinking processes. 3. Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilber -- Concerning research about positive psychology. 4. Creating by Robert Fritz -- Concerning the nature of "creating" and its impact to daily living. 5. Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman -- Concerning positive psychology. Have a look at them and tell me what you think.

Well my self help book would be "Chicken Soup" Chicken Soup for Couple's Soul.. For Daughters Soul For Friends Soul For Romantic Soul I think these true stories have really inspired me.. Whenever I am down and blue I read them and they help me come back on positive track! Because so many people have gone through so much difficulties that when I look at mine, it seems like a grain of rice!!
