Any recommended self-development books

All napoleon hill. Listening to a good one now (audio book) Outwitting the evil by him. On youtube for free with words on screen. Review: very 'unique' concepts.

 

The Success Principles by Jack Canfield, Outliers and David and Goliath both by Malcolm Gladwell, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, The Difference Maker and Talent is Never Enough both by John Maxwell, Being Happy and How Life Works both by Andrew Matthews

 

I recently read "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. It's basically Marcus Aurelius' diary and there's plenty of stuff about how to be a better man and put things in the right perspective. Some of his philosophical ideas are a little iffy in 2015 but 90% of it is insightful, useful stuff.

 

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Audio version is something close to my heart. I listen to it every year as a type of mental training.

Start with No More Mr Nice Guy

 

"How to win friends and influence people", by Dale Carnegie;
"Choose yourself", by James Altucher;
"The obstacle is the way", by Ryan Holiday;
"The way of the superior man", by David Deida.

 

As far as I'm concerned, none of the "self-improvement" books can even compete with breathtaking, short masterpiece:
On the Shortness of Life by Seneca. Probably the most influential, eyes opening stuff I've ever read.
Pure genius, great advises, Seneca <3 <3 <3

"Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius are really good,
"Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin", I higly recommend this classic for those who believe [like me] in self-discipline,
"Thus Spoke Zarathustra" by Nietzsche (I've read just the first 12% of this book, but that part contains concept of Camel, Lion and Child, and I've learned a lot from that)
"The Willpower Instinct" great stuff to learn a little bit how our brain works, how our willpower is depleted and how to build and excercise it.

 

Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill.
Why People Fail The 16 Obstacles to Success and How you can Overcome Them by Siimon Reynolds
Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie

 

The Book of Pook; Models by Mark Manson. Currently reading How to win and influence people.

 

The power of habit - Charles Duhigg

 

Yes. Love both! Good stories.

 

I highly recommend The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. Some great ideas there.
Also The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson is very helpful.

 

Currently reading the Slight Edge by Jeff Olson.

Just finished a new book White Fat Cow by William Bodri. Review: definitely 'unique' content you wont find anywhere. Very big book wiht lots of quotes from all walks of life. May seem strange at first but read it all you wont regret it, and he makes sense of everything eventually. Definitely recommand it. Now with the comming of the year I have got my self a book and started on the method and measurement from the 6M method. Among the rest of course.

 

The Slight Edge

 

One very specific, that might not suit you, but helped me more than I ever thought it could, and more than everything else : Taming Your Outer Child, by Susan Anderson.
It is about abandonment issues.
It is not about life, universe, women, how you should be, what you should do, or how you should behave, but about the core problems you may have and are not aware of.
There are some really powerfull exercises in this book (especially when you talk to you "little" you) that had a strong effect on me.
It may sound a little woo woo at first, and it took me years to start reading it despite the recommandations of other people I knew, but it is the one thing that gave me confidence and helped me start over with nofap, believing I could succeed.
