Five Self-Growth Books Worth Reading

If you’ve ever made an effort to work on your personal growth and development, you know that this pursuit is endless. Here are five of our recommendations for personal development books.

Atomic Habits (James Clear)

Building healthy habits takes time and effort, which is why so few people are able to maintain it. This book outlines a system where you get one percent better every day, and slowly but surely build something better.

Unwinding Anxiety (Judson Brewer)

According to the author, anxiety can be conceptualized as a habit, or worse, an addiction. When you look at it in such a light, the way to work with it becomes quite different from what one might think. This is a unique take.

Self-Compassion (Kristin Neff)

This book teaches you how to be kinder to yourself, and that’s pretty damn important for your physical and mental well-being, as well as the well-being of the people around you. Enough said.

Let It Be Easy (Susie Moore)

The approach of Susie Moore will make sense to some, and upset others. In this book, she argues that stress is self-induced, and can just as easily be replaced with positive inductions, like peace and power. She’s got the strategic methods to prove it in the book.

The Four Agreements (Don Miguel Ruiz)

Humans tend to limit themselves with their beliefs, unintentionally robbing themselves of joy and creating needless suffering. The four agreements of Toltec Wisdom combats this, and Ruiz goes over each agreement in detail in the book.
