The world is full of colloquialisms and advice to help you along your way but it's still really difficult to get a grasp of what you need to do to be who you really are. That's why self help books exist. To explain things to people in a way that will motivate them to be themselves. Here are 10 self-help books you have probably never heard of that may say what you need in the way you need to hear it said.
Knowing what you want isn't always all that you need. Sometimes you also need motivation to complete it and this book will help with that. Author Jason Harvey outlines some rules and suggestions to help get you more motivated and committed to your goals whatever they might be.
The biggest obstacles we have are ones that we give to ourselves. This next book helps you identify behaviors you do that holds you back without you knowing.

Depression is only a disease half of the time. The other half of the time it's just us feeling a little bit blue. The effects are still the same, though. Being unhappy can prevent us from doing the things we love to do and it can prevent us from making progress.

In this powerful title, you learn to identify who and what is being emotionally abusive to you so that you can overcome the terrible feelings that you have. If you live with demons that you can't seem to shake, this can help you understand that it's really not your fault and how you can move passed them.
Some may argue that this one is a little out of date but it's still an amazing book if you need help with your self-esteem. It takes a lighter approach and helps you identify reasons why you're self-esteem is low and how to make it higher. It teaches how to be more compassionate and how to take criticism without getting down on yourself.
This title is aimed at women who are in need of emotional strength and self-esteem. It helps women understand their problems in a way that they understand from someone who has experienced the same problems and knows how to fix them.
We have one book on here already that helps deal with self defeating behavior but this one takes a no nonsense approach. What makes this one different is that it deals with specific stuff like anger, greed, envy, jealousy, and over 50 other common behaviors that do nothing more than hold people back.
This is definitely the most unique book on the list. It takes a more aggressive approach to self help by telling what is really going on in the world around you. The idea being that once you have the shrouds of comfort shattered that you'll be able to rebuild your life and your perspective with a more healthy and realistic approach. It's a good read and every book in this series is actually free.
There are so many self-help books that it can be difficult to find the one that helps you. One way is to buy a bunch of individual books and hope it works or you can pick up a book like this one. It features 50 self-help books compiled into a single volume from the likes of legendary minds like Benjamin Franklin and Paulo Coelho. It's not a bad buy for the opinions of some of the greatest minds ever.
The last title in our round up comes from Mark Nepo who is not only a poet and a philosopher but also a cancer survivor. In his book he wants to teach you how to live each day one at a time, slow down, and enjoy the beauty of life all around us. It's a great read for those who live life too fast and need to slow down and smell the flowers before it's too late. It has a commanding 4.8 out of 5 rating on Amazon and that's really saying something.
Self-help books are everywhere and they're released all the time. Of course, if people didn't need help the self-help book industry would be dead in the water instead of thriving like it is. If these lesser-known titles aren't for you then just keep looking! You'll find what you're looking for eventually.
