What are some good self-help books?

Hello,

I am looking for some good practical self-help books. When I say practical self-help books, I mean books that are not spiritual but rather books which can be put to use in day to day interactions with people and which you can see results such as 'How to Win Friends and Influence People', books that have a proven track record.

Thanks for you help.

What topics are you looking for help with? Self-help covers everything from dealing with physical and psychological ailments to self-improvement of all types.

I tink there's also a lot of shysters out exploiting people's genuine worries and concerns and marketing dubious solutions.

Dublin City Public Libraries have a reccomended range of books here: http://tinyurl.com/lo5eqhl that cover everything from assertiveness to anorexia.

I found these ones interesting

Brene Brown The Gifts of Imperfection


Daniel Goleman Emotional Intelligence

May be too "spiritual" for your taste, it's a conversation between the Dalai Lama and a psychiatrist which is quite a good read
Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler - THe Art of Happiness
