Brain Lock by Jeffrey M. Schwartz

If you need a book, it really isn't "self-help" is it? Somoene else is helping you. Now if you pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, that is self-help.

The New Earth, Eckhart Tolle & Marianne Williamson's, Return to Love

The road less traveled, by M. Scott Peck.

Does 'Hustler' count yo?... :)=(

I'm not sure if it can really be classified as a self- help book, but I found "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig very helpful.

I wouldn't say it's helped me, but it certainly describes me: "The Peter Pan Syndrome" by Dr. Dan Kiley.

the pocket encyclopedia of aggravtion

"I'm OK, You're OK" Was written a really long time ago. I read it when I went through a divorce over 30 years ago. Helped me get over it.

"The Bad Ass Girl's Guide to Poker"

7-20-08: EDIT: ATTENTION LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: THE AUTHORS ARE CORRECTED. I apologize for any inconvenience. Very Truly Yours, Ron Berue For a variety of different reasons, there are a variety of different books and audio tapes. For a little more "food for thought", I also provided one of my favorite anecdotes which is also true: The Bible - Old and New Testaments - re-enforces my faith in God! "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George S. Classon How to properly manage money - no matter how much or how little. "The Magic of Believing" by Claude M. Bristol Demonstrates how great and powerful our brains and minds can be. "Acres of Diamonds" by Russell Cromwell No need to go far away from home. There's wealth and riches within a very short distance from your door. Going outside the restrictions of your Q: I LOVE Earl Nightingale's tapes. "How to Read a Book" by Adler and Van Doren. Very self-explanatary. Any books by Napoleon Hill, Og Mandino, Dale Carnegie and all other authors who wrote consistent self-help books. Thank you for asking your question. I enjoyed taking the time to answer your question. You did a great job - not only for your information, but for every other person interested in reading my answer. VTY, Ron Berue Yes this is my real last name Sources: The terrific, inspiring books I read, mark-up and make notes in. The tapes I listen to. My many mentors, coaches, professors and teachers. My wonderful family. “THE University of Hard Knocks” also known as ("a/k/a") "life's valuable lessons"

Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey. Anyone could find at least a few helpful thoughts in there. I'm about to reread it.

Finite and infinite games by: James P. Carse. The 48 Laws of Power By: Robert Greene and The Art of wordly wisdom by: Balthasar Gracian.

Besides the Bible, I'd say, "The Magic of Thinking Big" by David Shwartz .

The book called `Soul as a healer' has helped me get over my ex. I cannot remember who wrote it. I forced myself to do the meditational exercises everyday for a month and bingo it worked. lots of self will and determination is needed to follow it through.
