Self-Help Books

Once we have grown to puberty the harsh truths about the real world become the troubles and self-doubts which plague our minds.  This is the adult world which we have to survive for the rest of our lives, so learning strategies which will help us cope, need to be aqcuired early in life.

“Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude” by Napoleon Hill and  W. Clement Stone, defines positive mental attitude as comprising the ‘plus’ characteristics represented by words such as faith, integrity, hope, optimism, courage, initiative, generosity, tolerance, tact, kindliness and good common sense.  Positive mental attitude is that philosophy which asserts that having an optimistic disposition in every situation in one’s life attracts positive changes and increases achievement.

I have found certain self-help books very helpful over the years.  We are all faced with different problems from heartbreak, loneliness, grief, abuse, unemployment and debt.  No one book fits all mindsets, but I have tried to choose a mixture in the hope that you will find some solutions which work for you.
