I have read hundreds of self help books over the years however I don’t have time to read a lot nowadays. I have increasingly been buying and downloading audio and playing it in the car as I drive about 5 - 7 hours per week. This means I can listen to approximately 1 book per week.
I have found a great company which sells audio downloads of your favourite books.
I have a list of 17 books that I have read over the years that have inspired me, helped me on my journey or have been thought provoking. you can download these books to your computer if you want to buy them. I am an affiliate of Leisure Audio Books.
I hope you enjoy the list.

In his landmark bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant - in the blink of an eye - that actually aren’t as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work - in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?If you want to download this book now click on the audiobook cover to buy it and download immediately |

The world is so ready!
Many blessings to you,

The List is very Informative and conclusive but all the links being affiliate links can make them look skeptical.
I had a copy of “Feel the fear and do it anyway” and it was a really useful one imho.

Comment by Brian on 6 December 2007:
I just started getting into the world of self-help Audio books.
Definitely better than reading or listening to music while commuting to work.
Just in the past couple of months I have quit smoking, started getting out of debt, and started taking my life by the reigns!
My favorite audio book so far is: Brian Tracy “The Science of Self Confidence”. He just makes everything so logical, and doesn’t get all wishy washy like some of the others.
Best book for quitting smoking by far is Allan Carr “The Easy Way to Quit Smoking”.
Doctors should be subscribing this instead of the Patch or Zyban!
Movie I recomend if you liked the Secret is “What the Bleep do we Know Anyway?”. It might give you some of the questions you were missing from the answers you have found.
I would love to get some good advice from others
Brian
