Self-development
Currently, there are fewer and fewer people who read books or works of fiction. And this is very sad. It’s better to go buy some glossy magazine or read posts on the Internet. And only those who want to develop a real personality and achieve success begin to read various books for self-development.
Books are an irreplaceable source of information in which people share their experiences, thus passing them on from generation to generation. Quite a large number of books are published every year on the topic of self-development and they are all very interesting. Therefore, there is something to read for development! When you decide to start self-development , it’s like drug addiction - you read at least one book a month, but you have to.
You will agree with me that an intelligent and educated person is one who reads a lot. In general, identifying a person who reads is very simple. He is a very interesting conversationalist, he has a lot of ideas, his own point of view on many things. If you compare such people with those who don’t read at all, their brains are filled with old ideas, they are always discussing the same things, and this does not allow them to develop. The conclusion here is obvious. Reading broadens our horizons and opens up new horizons for the individual to strive for.
Study and read. Read serious books. Life will do the rest.
L.N. Tolstoy
What to read for self-development? TOP 100 best books
Before giving you a list of self-help books, I relied on one very good factor. How this or that book influenced my self-development. There are so many books, your eyes just run wild, and sometimes the question really arises: “What should I read for self-development?” But there are a large number of books that contain, so to speak, “water,” and others that contain very good practical advice on how to achieve happiness, wealth and success. And I tried to collect only the best.
I even remember the first book I read for self-development - Randy Gage “Why We Are Sick, Stupid and Poor...and How to Become Smart, Healthy and Rich.” After reading this book, my consciousness, frankly speaking, turned 180 degrees. It felt like I was simply reprogrammed and the new code was powerful enough to start living consciously. Therefore, I recommend that you read this book for self-development first and foremost. Believe me, she will make a very powerful impression on you.
In general, before reading books on self-development, you need to clearly understand what this process is.
So, it includes the following 3 subprocesses:
- self-knowledge;
- self improvement;
- self-realization.
And before looking for books, we need to understand which of these processes we want to work with. “What should I read for self-development?” - this is, in principle, such a general question, the answer to which may not give you a positive result in your development. I have prepared for you the 100 best books that touch on all sections of the self-development process, so that you have a clearer understanding of what is best to read and in what order. So…
Silence is the strength of introverts, Susan Cain
This fiction book by teacher and negotiation consultant Susan Cain was included in the list of “most popular books about psychology” immediately after its appearance in the early 2010s, although the author is not a professional psychologist.
At the same time, even for specialists, the book turned out to be revolutionary in many ways. Why? Because the world was supposed to belong to extroverts, and quiet people, focused on their inner world, seemed doomed to vegetate on the margins.
But it was not there! Kane demonstrates one idea convincingly.
What is this book about?
Susan Cain, in her work in an accessible and simple language, provides an excursion into neurophysiology and popularly explains the difference between extroverts and introverts, between true introverts and shy people.
Her message to parents of quiet children: there is no need to change them and worry about their future! They are already good! And let the world around you better be silent a little.
And the author’s main message to the world is that a real “revolution of silence” is coming. Soon such qualities as negotiation skills, communication skills and the ability to chat about everything in the world will not be in the foreground.
Silent people will take the palm from extroverts due to their special sensitivity, wisdom and deep understanding of life.
SELF-KNOWLEDGE
Self-knowledge is the process of discovering your potential. This is where you need to start self-development. If you don't understand what your best talents are, then you're unlikely to find your path in life. And this will only lead to a constant feeling of unhappiness. Everyone should only do what they are meant to do. And this is the mistake of 90% of people - skipping the process of self-knowledge. Perhaps this is not your fault, but rather the education system, which taught this in the early years of personality development, is more to blame. But once you have embarked on the path of self-development, you must begin it by knowing yourself.
This is what is called point A.

Daniel J. Amen "Brain fitness, or how to become smarter"
To feel good and look great, we run in the morning, walk a lot or work out in the gym. To enjoy our reflection in the mirror, we make masks, peeling and choose creams meticulously. But doesn't the brain require the same constant and diligent care? How demanding it is! Meanwhile, it is often as if we are deliberately doing everything in order to cause irreparable harm to him. We don’t get enough sleep, we overexert ourselves at work, we live in a state of stress, we don’t eat right, we consume gallons of mentally stimulating drinks. As a result, we predictably get exhaustion of the nervous system and depression, failures in career and personal life.
Fortunately, you can still get out of this “bottom” with the help of a unique brain healing system developed by Dr. Amen. It includes a responsible attitude towards your own nutrition, and taking vitamins, and physical activity, and mental gymnastics. This book can change your life for the better.

How to read self-development books correctly?
As you can see, self-development books greatly influence our lives. By reading this kind of literature, our potential actually becomes unlimited. You just have to think about what you can achieve in life and it takes your breath away. Just imagine the peaks you have conquered and your dreams come true. Great, right? But, unfortunately, after reading such books, many people’s lives do not change. And the point here is that there are several rules that need to be followed when reading books on self-development.
Read slowly
Often beginners begin to simply “devour” books one after another. Lists of books on self-development are not difficult to find, and the mindless “reading” begins. As a result, a ton of information appears in your head, which does not have time to be systematized. As a result, your consciousness begins to resemble a garbage dump. The main thing is not how much you read, but what the efficiency of the book is. Therefore, you don’t need to read 20 books a month, 1 a day. 2-4 books are enough, and only if you apply the acquired knowledge in practice.
Read slowly
These are not novels where you want to quickly find out who cheated on whom. There is no need to chase the number of pages, but rather change the priority to “the maximum from the book.” And this is only possible with slow and thoughtful reading of the author’s every word. What is written needs to be thought through and analyzed...
Ask questions
While reading the book, ask yourself a variety of questions. What can this advice tell me? What can I get? How similar is the author's life to mine? And try to test everything in practice. You know, there are a lot of theorists who churn out books, but there are few smart teachers.
Be a student for life!
Business books and books for self-development need to be read with a pen in hand and a piece of paper. Firstly, there are a lot of smart thoughts in such books. And secondly, there are a lot of exercises, the implementation of which will change your life for the better. Therefore, it’s better to get yourself a notebook or notebook for self-development. After reading a book, a lot is forgotten, and any advice or exercise can be a huge chance for you to change something in your life.
Absorb like a sponge, but only what’s useful.
I will say that there are really worthwhile books, and there are dummies. And all information, of course, does not need to be understood as the ultimate truth. The author simply expresses his point of view and conveys his life experience. You should form your own worldview on life and, as a rule, this happens under the influence of many books, and not just one. Learn to discard the “slag” that you consider unnecessary and take only the best advice.
In the end, what can we say. Read such books not for reading, but to transform your personality. Reading thoughtlessly will only take away your time and will not allow you to get closer to success and freedom.
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Yuval Noah Harari
The personality of the author, Israeli professor of historical sciences Harari, deserves special attention.
The 42-year-old Israeli citizen began his career as a military man, but became interested in medieval history and became one of the most popular authors of global historical works.
At the same time, he is a convinced vegan, an active advocate of animal rights, and gay. He is interested in Eastern culture, regularly practices Vipassana, asceticism and avoids social networks.
It is very interesting to look at the history of planet Earth through the prism of such a person’s worldview!
His A Brief History of Humankind has been translated into more than 45 languages. Of course, this is a book of planetary scale and incredible scope of thought.
What is this book about?
Harari invites us to look back into history hundreds of thousands of years ago - into the Stone Age - and try to answer the global question: why did Homo Sapiens begin to dominate all living beings?
The book runs through the idea of human violence against animals. At the same time, according to Harari, it is a reasonable person who has a quality that no other living creature has: the ability to collaborate and cooperate.
Questions of ethics, an excursion into evolution, scientific data, a short course in cognitive psychology - even the most discerning reader will find something in this book that touches his mind and heart.
How many self-development books are in your library?
Start developing a good habit for yourself - reading one paper book on self-development at least a month. I think that anyone can spend 200-500 rubles to buy a book in paper version, regardless of their personal financial budget. But if a toad is strangling you here, then at least sign up for the library. At worst, read it electronically.
In general, in a month I read one in paper form and three or four books in electronic form. As a result, an average of 4 books per month, and about 50 per year. And so, what do you think, 50 books for self-development can change your worldview, your habits, your life? Definitely yes. In a year of reading, an unreal transformation of your loved one will occur.
If you look at rich people, they always have a large library of interesting books. But poor people would rather watch TV on the couch in the evening than read a couple more interesting pages. That's why rich people have big libraries, and poor people have wide TVs. Since I have just begun my conscious self-development, I, of course, still have a small library, but I already have about 30 books for self-development.
I have the best ones, the ones that really hooked me, inspired me, and taught me something. If I read an interesting book in electronic form, then I go and take it in paper form. When I have time, I re-read them. And every time through the lines I learn something new that I didn’t notice before or didn’t try to understand.
Hell's web. How to survive in the world of narcissism. Sandy Hotchkiss
The book by psychoanalyst and psychotherapist Sandy Hotchkiss became, in fact, the first popular work that examined in detail the phenomenon of narcissism.
With the light hand of Dr. Hotchkiss, the labels “narcissist”, “psychopath” and “perverse manipulator” have become firmly attached in women’s online communities to almost all men who are capable of offending their women.
We all know that there are people who seem to be “ahead of the rest”, who always love to be on a pedestal, in the spotlight, one way or another regularly demonstrating their superiority and grandiosity.
And until recently, this type of character was classified as a pathology of the hysteroid spectrum. But Dr. Hotchkiss convincingly showed the difference between fairly harmless hysterics and true narcissists.
What is this book about?
The author describes the main signs of narcissism - problems with empathy, a tendency to devalue oneself and others, emotional “swings” from a sense of grandiosity to a feeling of one’s own insignificance, the desire for power.
This is an interesting read not only for psychologists: upon closer examination, every reader can find one or more narcissists in their environment.
According to Hotchkiss, narcissists have actually taken over the world: people with this disorder occupy almost all the key positions on the planet, and the rest of humanity often finds themselves victims of their manipulation. Sad picture!
Good news for all those burdened with empathy: narcissists are not happy at all, but deep down they suffer very much. However, this fact hardly changes anything for their victims.
In the case of true, malignant narcissism, Hotchkis suggests not pitying these people, but simply staying away from them.

"The origins of morality. In Search of Humanity in Primates, Frans de Waal
For many years, the world famous biologist Frans de Waal studied the life of chimpanzees and bonobo monkeys. In the process of research, he identified clear rudiments of ethical behavior in the primate community. According to the author, morality is not a purely human property, and its origins must be sought in animals. Empathy and other manifestations of a kind of morality are inherent in monkeys, dogs, elephants, and even reptiles.
In addition to a fascinating story about ethical behavior in the world of primates, the author raises deep philosophical questions related to science and religion. How and when did morality arise? What influence did religion have on the formation of ethics? What happens to a society where the role of religion is declining, and is Dostoevsky’s hero Ivan Karamazov right, who believed that if there is no God, then everything is permitted.

PhotoReading. Paul Shelley
PhotoReading is one of the fastest ways to read. According to the author, you can develop a reading speed of up to 25,000 words per minute. The author focuses on the work of the subconscious.

We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the “Books and Textbooks” section in the speed reading training.
