Self help books can be a really big help in staying positive and understanding your own feelings and emotions and sometimes they are all you need to get you out of your hole. They
can change your perceptions and the way you may think about certain things. I am lucky to have a friend who is currently writing her own self help book and asked if she could recommend any books that may help on this website to help positive thinking and understanding as she has read most of them. She highly recommends the following books, definitely worth a read!
The Power of Positive thinking
Tuesdays with Morrie
The Secret
Men are from Mars and women are from venus
Chicken Soup for the Soul
The Barefoot doctors guide to the urban warrior
Think and grow Rich
How to win friends and influence people
