The best self-help books provide practical, actionable advice to help you achieve your goals. We’ve got all the best self-improvement books to help you reignite your flame, whether you need a little motivation or are ready to completely overhaul your mindset.
The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Anchor
According to Shawn Anchor’s research, we do not seek or achieve happiness: we are happiness. Anchor explains how positivity has neurological effects in “The Happiness Advantage” (the good kind). Furthermore, he has applied his research and years of experience as a Harvard lecturer in nearly every conceivable environment, from the high school locker room to the chairman of the board. The ‘advantage’ of Anchor’s self-help book is its breathtaking ability to transport us from the mundane to what truly matters: the joy of being.
Big Magic
We can all benefit from creativity, whether it’s at work, in our daily lives, or in achieving our goals. In her best-selling self-help book, “Big Magic,” Elizabeth Gilbert argues that by cultivating the right mindset, anyone can live a creative life.
The author of “Eat Pray Love” uses her personal experience as a writer to show how she overcame common challenges that creative people face, such as finding inspiration, dealing with the pressure to make a living from your creative work, and reframing the concept of success, all by changing her mindset toward creativity.
Even if you don’t consider yourself an artist or creative person, “Big Magic” is a relatable guide to harnessing the power of creativity by implementing new habits that allow you to create freely.
Gilbert uses anecdotes from others, in addition to her own, to demonstrate how creativity plays a role in so many aspects of life.
