Self-Help Books

Really?  Do I need another person telling me how to live my life?  YES! and NO!  What self-help books give you are OPTIONS and we all can use more of those.

I will be recommending reads that have helped me and am always looking for suggestions so feel free to add ‘em in the comments.

The important thing to remember about self-help books is the “doing”. Yeah, I get lost within the ideas behind the words but applying it is a whole different ballgame.  Optimize those options by:

• Writing within the margins.  Engage with the author. Don’t be afraid to write in the book or, um, like us folks who feel that writing inside a book is akin to pulling out our fingernails, use post-its.
• Keep a journal. I hope to inspire you to Write to Remember and a  journal is a must have. No fancy shmancy item needed. A regular notebooks works just as well.
