I can’t stand how they always say the same thing over and over again just in different ways. Like they could all be summed up in two chapters but then they wouldn’t be a book so I just listen to summed up versions of them on YouTube as well as researching aspects that don’t quite make sense to me. This way makes me feel like I earned the knowledge while not suffering from the repetitiveness of those books.

As a recovering alcoholic the AA big book saved my life. It made me realize that religion is good, but what you really need is a relationship with God. That led me to the Bible, and there that's really the only book (or books since the Bible is 66 books in one. ) you really need.

I read a lot and never really changed much. I recently decided on a small set of "bibles" to read multiple times and always keep in rotation, and since then actually made much more positive change. I settled on 7 habits of highly effective people, atomic habits, and Outlive by Peter attia. These 3 work in tandem pretty well I think.

I have read so many self improvement books, recently I discovered the Bible. Literally everything I have ever read in all those books, is in the Bible. It’s The best self improvement book of all.

I love self help books but It can quickly become redundant. Self help books are mostly flavored common sense. Sometime one stick better or is a bit innovative but most of the time, it's a 200 pages long déja-vu. The best so far were : -Psychology of Money -Atomic Habits -Make Time The worst I ever came across was : -12 rules for Life : An antidote to chaos

Read at least 100 of them in life, but honestly I prefer novels, unless it’s something really big like Neville or more spiritual type of self help. I also love fiction that uses those ideas that we read in self help, like Paulo Coelho for instance for me is the greatest name of that. I super leave as reading suggestions “zero limits” and “the alchemist” ❤❤❤

Cover-to-cover 0 honestly. I’ve bought probably around 20 self-improvement books but I usually don’t complete them, I just read the chapters that bring me value.

5 books: Think and Grow Rich; Psycho-Cybernetics; How Will You Measure Your Life ; How to find Fulfilling Work; and The Dip. I actually gained a lot from these.
