Nowadays, when competition is very high, people started to study psychology, train themselves to improve better results in career, earning money, become stable and independent.
And, of course, appeared lots of helpers in this long lasting story: psychologists, trainers of individuality, business trainers, psychoanalysts and so on. In last several years, hundreds of books, which tell how to improve your personality, how to achieve better results, how to become successful and many other secrets of road to the top described, were written.
And these books related not only to the business but also to your families, health, mood and even supernatural powers that you can develop while reading these books!!
The idea of such books came from autobiographical books of successful people, where the told about how they managed to do that. Enterprising psychologists decided to use their knowledge and started to write their own books full of recommendations. Some of them are really very useful and can give a result, but not all. Some books and articles for self improvement brings nothing except smile. For example, when woman, who spent all her life on the kitchen writes a story about ideal family. To be professional in cooking do not mean to have an ideal family.
As for me a good example of self improvement articles are stories of Dan Millman. Dan is a famous sportsmen, winner of numerous championships in gymnastics. He started trainings in 5 years and in 17 he was number 1 in the state. But Dan got in a car crash and doctors were not sure will he be able to walk! But with the help of his teacher, Socrat, who helped Dan to know himself better, Dan returned to the big sport in less than a year!
But in some yeans Dan quite sport and began to write books about how he improved his life after car accident. He wrote over 13 books in 29 languages, there is a film “Peaceful warrior”. Film is full of clever ideas, smart thoughts, moments from life experience of main characters. Film is rather dramatic, but after watching it your mind is overloaded with things to think about, you start to search answers for your life problems, you remember different situations and find another ways out of them, you start to change your life for better.
I advise you to read only quality books and to learn only useful things!
