Top 42 Best Self Help Books For Men – All Time Reads On All Facets Of Life

  • Next Luxury / Men's Lifestyle Advice
  • by — Brian Cornwell

We all have problems. The world is littered with armchair dreams and lay-abouts who do nothing about them. Most men trot through life with an empty emotional bank account.

Their self-esteem is non-existent, and their understanding of why remains a mystery only to themselves. While self-help books are not a form of taking action, most offer a great deal of insight as to why you’re so f-cked up in life.

From popular psychology to human behavior, the mind and beyond, if you’re looking for inspiring reads by inspirational people, you’ve finally found them. Only in this collection of self-help all-time reads, the focus isn’t on Zen; it’s about overcoming all the issues holding you back in life from being all that you can be.

The truth is, Zen doesn’t pay the bills when you’re coughing up blood in the hospital. It takes money!

It’s a good reason as to why you’ll find business and personal finance reading material mixed in with the relationship, public speaking, self-esteem/confidence building, and time management books. In other words, these top 42 best self help books for men cover all facets of life!

If you’re looking for purely feel good and ego-stroking nonsense, you might as well write your d-mn own book. Because the only person more qualified at being a loser is you!
