There are plenty of good self-help books out there for all ages and genders. But, I wanted to focus on the under-represented group of men and self-help for men. There are actually some very good beneficial, even life changing books out there for men out there that people are just not aware of.
Just as women turn to their books about empowerment and “girl power” as the Spice Girls said, there are great books for men looking for solutions for self-improvement whether it is in the dating realm, success, enlightenment, or even just improving their overall class.Being in touch with their emotions and thinking deeper as man only makes you stronger, not weaker. It may be called “feminine” for a man to read self-help, bu stubbornness in a man is probably one of the biggest limiters that causes them to ignore issues and never develop and grow their inner self, their inner spirit.
There is nothing wrong with seeking help, especially if it is going to make you better and help you receive concrete answers that you have been looking for.
But for the men ready to make the leap and do some soul-searching and improvements in their lives I have listed 7 books that I feel would great to read and would get the job done.
