Coaching Into Greatness by Kim George

Taking Responsibility by Nathaniel Branden

The Rennaisance Soul by Margaret Lobenstine

Some really cool suggestions, a few of which I have never even heard of.

My favorite listed is probably Jonathans mention of ‘The Four Agreements’ Definitely in my top 5 of all time and book packed with wisdom.

@ vini – I read the Lyn Grabhorn book about 4 or 5 years ago and way before I’d even heard of the Law of Attraction. Interesting stuff and thanks for your reply.

@ Laurie – never been called cute before, I think I’ll print that off and frame it!

@ Joely – I keep meaning to pick up some Byron Katie stuff because I’ve only heard good things, I’ll post it to my Amazon wish list.

@ Ali – Wow, what can I say? Maybe get a check up but thanks very much that’s greatly appreciated.

@ Shann – I love the Dalai Lama one, ‘How to Practise’ is great too. I missed seeing him speak when I was back in the UK 2 weeks ago by 3 days. Bummer! Succulent Wild Women sounds like a Website and I’m definitely going to check that out.

The Art of Happiness by The Dalai Lama
Change Your Thoughts-Change Your Life by Dr. Wayne Dyer
The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie
Succulent Wild Woman by SARK

Plus all of Jonathan’s picks.

Excuse me, your life is waiting. Lyn Grabhorn
Forgive for Love. Dr. Fred Luskin
Gluten-Free Girl. Shauna James Ahern

It’s the simplest and most brilliant approach to dealing with thinking that I’ve ever come across. As you know I have a lot of issues with my thoughts, but finding The Work really made a massive difference. Instead of fighting them, find out if they’re true, then turn them around. What I love most about Byron Katie herself is that you can tell from her videos that she’s the real deal. She lives it all herself, and she makes it work for herself.

I have to say, hand on heart, and totally unprompted, “Don’t Ask Stupid Questions – There Are No Stupid Questions” is one of the best self-development books I’ve read. I go back to it whenever I’m in a motivational slump. So, that’s my top pick!!

My other favourites are all by a “time coach”, Mark Forster (he blogs at http://www.markforster.net/blog):
- Get Everything Done (And Still Have Time to Play)
- How to Make Your Dreams Come True
- Do It Tomorrow

The first of these was the book that got me interested in the whole personal-development, time-management, self-improvement, productivity type thing. The three books are quite different from one another (“Dreams” in particular), but I’ve found the way Mark writes about things completely makes sense to me. His tips actually WORK!

Oh, just one more: C.S Lewis’s “The Screwtape Letters”. Brilliant, entertainingly-written insight into the human mind and all the little habits we have that we might rather pretend we don’t. It’s written as a series of letters from a senior devil to a junior one, and it is from a very Christian perspective (which suits me! but I realise might cause confusion or offence for some.)

PS – Tim, didn’t you promise nudity in your second video post? ;-)
