As corny as it may seem -Get the Edge by Tony Robbins is really really good. I've listened to alot of self help books, and he has the best/commanding presense that actually makes you feel like getting up and proactively doing something for yourself. There are tons of speakers out there, but his style beats em all out.

For a more serious mood or at night i'd recommend eckart tole's series: a new earth, etc. His stuff is insanely interesting , but the guy decided to be the voice of his own books and seriously ruined it. He sounds like a meth addict.

If you want to learn something, there is TTC- the teaching company. They release audio books from only the best professors at top schools like harvard, yale, etc on all kinds of interesting stuff.. Most of the prof. are actually really interesting to listen to. You can really tell how much they like their work.

For pure entertainment the mystery method was fun to listen to. He's got a series of interviews that are amusing and insightful. It's pretty much like a group of guys all intellectually talking about getting hot chicks in bed.

Totally my favorite book....talks about everything, happiness, money, depression, how to be happy, family..etc

A review of this book

Quote:

Its timeless message on character education should be read by every child, parent and teacher. It is sure to become a classic.
I have given away at least five copies to family and friends!

It was awarded Best Inspirational Book of the Year 2000 by Writer's Digest Magazine.

I have donated a few select books that have been added to my local Public Library. This is by far the best inspirational and motivational book I have read so far. It contains the wisdom of the ages and essential life truths.

A few of the books I have donated are: HOW TO SUCCEED IN LIFE: Ideas and Principles They Don't Teach in School by Ned Grossman, MASTER SUCCESS: Create a Life of Purpose, Passion, Peace and Prosperity by Bill FitzPatrick, a local author from Natick, MA, FREEDOM FROM FEAR: Learn How to Live Life to the Fullest by Mark Matteson, The story of one man's discovery of simple truths that lead to wealth, joy and peace of mind, and I DARE YOU By William H. Danforth.

I highly recommend Life's Greatest Lessons, as it teaches the wisdom of the ages. This book is so wonderful, that after I finished it, I went back and re-read it again. Periodically, I will reread certain chapters again. I am very select in what I choose to donate to the library. I am donating it to the library so it can benefit the most people possible. This book on character education is a topic not normally taught in schools. It is an "owner's manual for a happy and successful life." It describes in a simple easy to understand manner, common-sense life skills that can be applied immediately to enhance and enrich anyone's life.

I'm not a very religious person, but I found Become a Better You: Seven Keys to Improving your Life Every Day from Joel Osteen a very powerful book.

Anthony Robbins Personal Power II for life in general:

http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3312...sonal_Power_II

Tyler Durden The Blueprint Decoded for getting girls and developing a 'core' confidence

http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4078...eprint_Decoded

Eckhart Tolle A New Earth (or Power of Now, but I like New Earth a little more)

I would buy the book. The audio is pretty rough

I've read and listened to literally hundreds of self-development books and programs and these three are the ones that have had the most impact on my life.
