Books

I can not get enough of great books. I read hundreds each year — 213 in 2011 alone. I pick the best in self-help, personal growth, strengths, confidence, self-esteem, and personality development so you do not have to wade through the noise.

Browse my favorite picks by category below. Check back often — there is always another recommendation on the way.
