A list of personal development books that have helped me with my spiritual growth and healing along with my reviews of each self help book. These books have transformed my mind, soul, and helped to nourish my spirit when I needed it most.
Below are links to some of the books that I have purchased along with my reviews of each product. I will add to this list as I read more books about self improvement.
Personal Development Books
Personal Development for Smart People: The Conscious Pursuit of Personal Growth
This book takes what most would consider a radical approach to personal development, by looking at your life from the viewpoints of truth, love, and power. Steve states that everything you do and experience in your life should come from one of these viewpoints. When we do things that are out of alignment with truth, love, and power is where our struggles begin. His book goes on to discuss how we can incorporate those truths into our career, habits, health, money, relationships and spirituality.
This is one of my favorite personal development books. It tells the story of how grace transformed the author’s life and also the lives of others. This book made me realize that I didn’t have to look very far in my own life to find grace. It is a very touching story of a spiritual journey that leaves you feeling empowered and energized when you are finished reading it. I highly recommend reading this book. It really helped me see things through a different lens.
