My favorite Self-help Books!

For any of my friends who might be interested.. I put together a list of my favorite self-help/motivational books..

I love to read so over the years I have read tons of self help books. Some were good..some were really good..and some were really bad. The ones that I consider my favorites are the ones that I own myself..that I have read at least once..and that I feel really helped me in some way. Most of these I love so much I have read them over and over.

The Simple Abundance Daybook of Comfort and Joy By Sarah Ban Breathnach
I absolutely love Sarah Ban Breathnach 19s style of writing. And this book is my absolute favorite! She is so inspiring and full of wonderful ideas.. Whenever I need a reminder of how I want to live my life I pick up this book.

The Simple Abundance Companion By Sarah Ban Breathnach
A great additional source for those trying to follow the Simple Abundance Path.. With lots of space to record your own thoughts and work on the exercises..

Romancing The Ordinary By Sarah Ban Breathnach
The second book in Sarah 19s Simple Abundance series.. This book looks at the idea of abundance from a slightly different perspective but it is just as wonderful.

Creating Your House of Belonging with Simple Abundance By Sarah Ban Breathnach
This is Sarah 19s fourth book in the Simple Abundance series. And this one is a bit different. It is still full of her inspiring advice.. But it is also part memoir.

The Artist's Way By Julia Cameron
Julia Cameron is my other favorite author alongside of Sarah Ban Breathnach. Her ideas on finding yourself through creativity are wonderful I feel like I am listening to a friend speak when I am reading her books.. Like I have found a kindred spirit.

Floor Sample By Julia Cameron
Even though this book is not technically a self-help book but a memoir..I wanted to list it here because to me it has been a great inspiration and really helps you get into the mind of Julia Cameron.. She is an amazing woman who has been through a lot..suffering from mental illness and alcoholism and yet she still managed to find her place in life and make the most of what she has. A wonderful inspiration.

Money Drunk, Money Sober By Julia Cameron and Mark Bryan
One of my biggest problems has been getting my finances under control and this book is full of practical advice that has kept me going and guided me when I had no idea what I was doing or how to dig myself out of the hole I had landed in.

The Mindful Way Through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Cronic Depression By J. Mark G. Williams, John D. Teasdale, Zindel V. Segal, Jon Kabat-Zinn
When I first picked up this book I was simply curious but as I started to read it I started to cry because I had never read such frank and true descriptions of depression and what it is like to live with it. I have been interested in mindfulness for a while now..and this book, which combines mindfulness with Cognitive Behavioral therapy, is simply put and easy to read and truly gave me hope. And it comes with an audio cd full of the meditations that the authors recommend.

Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting By Lynn Grabbhorn
My absolute favorite book on the Law Of Attraction. Reading this book feels more like having a conversation with a friend rather than reading an instruction manual like most books on the subject. Lynn has an almost irreverent style of writing...and approaches the subject in a way that way that no one else really does. This is the first book that makes me feel like there is hope and that I really could have the things I want so much out of life.

Jack Canfield's Key to Living the Law of Attraction: A Simple Guide to Creating the Life of Your Dreams By Jack Canfield
My second favorite book on The Law Of Attraction. No flashy writing..nothing that reads like a promotional advertisement. Just the facts. Straightforward and practical. With plenty of space to write and full of wonderful quotes from people all through time which helps to give and idea how long the Law of Attraction has been around. It is not a new idea.
