Books have a strange way of impacting our minds in a way that nothing else can. Some of them give us direction in the darkest of times, lift us, and show us a different side of the world that our minds would not otherwise get to know. Here is a list of top self-help books that will change how you look at life, i.e., give you a whole new life perspective. Reading them will turn out to be one of the best decisions of your life.
Your mind shapes your reality based on what you feed it, and if you are here, you are off to a good start.
1) 4-Hour Work Week
4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss is, by far, one of the best self-help books ever. It is about how you can actually live the life you dream of living and have a purposeful existence.
Most men don’t realize what they are capable of; the ones who do, don’t have the guts to follow their dreams through. It’s one of the best business and lifestyle books ever.
Here’s something that will get you off your butt, tell you precisely what you need to do, and think about doing everything you ever dreamed of doing.
It’s almost like he has cracked the code. His life is an adventure, and yours can be too, trust me, you won’t regret this one.
The book will inspire you to work smarter, saving time and effort. It underlines the importance of automation. If you have a business or planning to get into business, or are in a higher management job, then this book is more relevant for you.
2) The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck is one of those books that everyone should read. Mark Mansion has done a phenomenal job at writing this, and you will never feel bored because of the captivating and cheerful way it is written.
It contains pretty strong language; I wouldn’t recommend it to the younger audience just yet. But the concepts of purpose and how to accept what you can’t change are so well explained that you would feel like a heavy emotional burden has been taken off your shoulders.
The book will throw a light on what matters in our lives and what things do not, thus bringing the Instagram generation back to the real world. It also teaches us not to waste time getting upset about the reactions of the people living in the virtual world and all the events that have no meaningful impact on our lives.
However, many of the things in this book may only be helpful to only young people, as adults 30+ or 40+ years of age may already know most of the stuff written in this book.
3) You Are a Badass
‘You are a badass ‘ is an excellent book by Jen Sincero, and it will surely be worth your time. It is one of those books that make you understand your self-worth, keep the negativity out, and actually be able to slay in your field.
It builds your confidence and teaches you some of the best principles of life cheerfully and joyfully. By the end of the day, it will leave you feeling on top of the world and that, in fact, you really are a badass.
The book will help you overcome some deep-rooted self-doubts and encourage you to make positive changes in your life.
The tone of the book is conversational and humorous. The book is excellent for people who are new to the self-help category as it will leave them will a lot of nuggets of wisdom. But many people who have read several books from this category may already know most of the concepts mentioned in this book.
4) Zero to One
Taking the first step is often the hardest. Once you choose to be brave enough to take the first step, you start to gain momentum, and the rest of the way becomes easier. You may have heard that a thousand-mile journey begins with a single step. Zero to one is about taking that first step.
Peter Thiel is a wonderful person. He founded Paypal, so you might know him from there. But this book is definitely one of those life-changing books that help you take the hardest leap of faith.
The truth is that people tell themselves that they are afraid of failure but fear success instead. They don’t allow themselves to think that what they want is possible and it just needs them to do certain things.
They keep telling themselves that it’s out of their hands, and whatever they do, it will never be enough. Don’t let that be you; take the risk. Most damage is reversible. This book is a masterpiece; you don’t want to miss out on this one.
5) 5 Am Club
Robin Sharma is one of the most influential people of all time, and his book 5 am club is no different. It talks about three windows of 20 minutes each. And it is one of the greatest morning routines ever.
If you are someone who struggles with waking up early, this book can inspire you to change your schedule in the most productive and healthy way. It is always challenging to change the little things in our life, and those little things make the most difference.
So, don’t resist change or pain; it is growth in disguise.
Robin Sharma has dedicated his life to sharing all the life wisdom and success factors.
This book is written in a beautiful style, and every page of the book oozes new life perspectives. He has put the most distilled versions of his teachings in easy to understand, remember, and most captivating way possible.
Though from the name of the book – 5 am club, you may think that the book is entirely about waking up early, it is not so. However, it is an important concept in the book.
The author has created several original concepts over the years & they are presented in a very interesting way in the book.
The book is different from a typical self-help book regarding its presentation style. It follows a fictional journey of four main characters filled with incredible life lessons as they travel from one exotic location to another.
The book is so beautifully written that you would want to read the book not just for the lessons but also to know how the journey of these characters unfolds.
6) Tribe of Mentors
Tribe of mentors is another book by Tim Ferriss. This book deals with the most effective advice from the best leaders and entrepreneurs in the world.
Tim Ferriss contacted and interviewed the world-class achievers and piled the golden advice in a neat little packet you can easily access.
He reached out to the most impressive world-class performers in the world. This book contains their answers – practical and tactical advice from mentors who have found solutions.
The answers by these super-achievers contain solutions to various problems in life, e.g., how to make an impact in your field, how to grow the business multi-fold, how to break mental barriers, etc.
It is phenomenal work, and you will find some of the best advice in the world printed between these pages.
Some of the email replies from these great people will give you new perspectives, some will drive home what matters in a particular situation, and some will offer ready solutions to problems you are facing in your life.
However, some of these answers you may find cliche, and some you may find useless too.
The bottom line is there is some excellent wisdom distributed throughout the book, and we need to ride the book and collect the good and valuable parts.
7) The Third Door
The third door is a book by Alex Banayan, the emerging face of entrepreneurship among the youth. He is young and vibrant, and his book deals with how there is always a third door, a hidden door to do the things you want to do.
It isn’t that difficult if you put your mind to it. Alex also reached out to world-class achievers in a fashion far from ordinary.
A regular college student reaching out to world-class leaders in an almost illegal fashion, but nothing stops this guy, which makes him stand out. The third door is highly recommended, and it is truly inspiring. It is a book that a reader like you deserves.
The book goes deep into the life of some of the big achievers from the new and old generations. The author describes the qualities and skills that lead to their success. He gives some clear and practical tips on how we can achieve similar success in our fields in the modern world.
The book also teaches us how to make ourselves stand apart from the crowd and beat the competition, how to bounce back after rejection and how to lead an exponential life. The good thing about this non-fiction book is that it reads like a fiction book. So an interesting read all the way.
Alright, those are the top self-help books that will give you a new life perspective, and we think you should read them first if you have not read them all. It’s time for you to gain new life perspectives and offer your unique perspective to the world. Hopefully, we were able to serve you in some way. If you think you’d like to add something to the list, be sure to mention that in the comments below. Your feedback is always appreciated. We hope you have a wonderful week filled with wonderful new perspectives!

First off I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear
your thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it
just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend
to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Thanks!
