I’m a big reader of personal development and self help books. The current book that I’m reading is an excellent book by Julia Cameron entitled the Artist Way, recommended by a friend. This book is filled with solid practical tips on how to reawaken your inner creative child.The book gets The Baker stamp of approval.

With that said, I believe that 80% of all personal development/self help books point to one common theme. So, obviously if this large of a percentage is the common theme, it would be really valuable for you to keep this idea in mind right?

Take A Step Back

Before, I go into what this common theme is, let’s first take a step back. Why do a majority of people read a great valuable personal development/self help and then forget about this common overriding theme? Well, the main reason really is because people aren’t passionate enough about their own personal development. They like to read books, get juiced up and leave it at that. There aren’t real tangible results after reading the book because they aren’t really passionate about their personal development. You see to be passionate about your growth, you will notice that in the books that you read there really is no way that you can miss this common overriding central theme found in the books.

The Select Few

I assume that most of you all reading these blogs, are not that group of people that take a really valuable book and forget the common theme. I would say that you are the select few that really care about your personal development growth, so much so that the common theme I’m about to tell you, you are already living. So congratulations on that. Congratulations on being that small percent that is passionate about their personal development and evolution. I respect people that come from a place of truth and honesty with where they are at in life, but truly make honest efforts to consitently try to learn and grow from reading books and applying principles to make their lives better.

The one common Theme Found in 80% of all Personal Development & Self Help Books is:

“Belief in yourself.”

That’s it. Belief in yourself. But, that is such a strong statement and a reoccurring idea we must all continually be reminded of though right? The reason is because we live in a very fast paced society. It is so fast that we forget our “why” we may lose track of our purpose for doing anything. But I’m hear to let you know that you have to continue to believe in yourself, no matter what challenge or obstacle you are currently facing. You see I love people. Some people are supportive with my dreams and some people just plain aren’t supportive of my dreams. I truly appreciate and love all the support I continue to receive, and never take these people for granted.

But you know what keeps me going and pursuing my dreams? It’s the fact that I believe in myself. Simple and plain. There is no other outside force, outside circumstance outside of me that will take that away. I know that if I don’t believe in myself and my life’s purpose, I can easily just slip into a comfort zone, where I don’t grow and evolve as a human being.

That is the reason why 80% of all personal development and self help books stress this in their books in one form or another. They understood that from their perspective, it all begins and ends with you. You can’t blame society, your parents, your friends, how you were raised, or your boss on why you aren’t where you feel you need to be in your development.It begins and ends with an unwavering belief in yourself.You create the reality you choose to exist on. You create the change you want to see in the world. You create your wealth and your relationships with others.

You are the end all be all of your own journey. Don’t let people take that from you. Hold strong to your belief and your purpose on this earth. You deserve every ounce of it. When you continue to operate in this manner, you will inspire and empower others to do the same. This is probably the most rewarding part. Believe in yourself, this allows others to believe in themselves.

I also want to mention, I have my very own personal development book for purchase. This book is a good guide to help you find that belief in yourself by moving inward for your own confidence and self image for a beyond successful life.

One goal that everyone strives for (or should strive for) is personal development. Personal development books are an excellent way to meet and exceed this admirable goal. Personal development books allow an individual to get ideas as to how to personally develop. They also are a fantastic jumping off point in any personal development plan. Let’s take a look at some of the best personal development books on the market.

One of the best personal development books is “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of Your Dreams” by Deepak Chopra. In “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success” Dr. Chopra discusses the seven Vedic principles of a purposeful life and applies these concepts to everyday modern living. This is a must-read book for anyone seeking a more fulfilling life path.

Among the important personal development books, one also finds the “Tao Te Ching” by Lao Tsu. This ancient Chinese book of wisdom was written over two thousand years ago. It takes the form of eighty-one short chapters, with each chapter encapsulating a veritable pearl of wisdom. It is not meant to be read cover to cover, but instead to be digested in small bites over time. As an example, one chapter simply reads “What is a good man? A teacher of bad men. What is a bad man? A good man’s charge.” Simply enchanting.

No list of personal development books can be complete without mention of “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran. The book takes the form of a novel in which a prophet waits in an unnamed for a ship to carry him back to his homeland after many years of exile. As he awaits, the people of the town gather to wish him well. The prophet, in return, shares his wisdom with them on life, love death and more. It is a book of both poetry and power and the wisdom contained therein cannot help but set an individual in motion toward meeting his or her own personal development goals.

As can be seen by these few examples, personal development books vary greatly both in style and content. The one constant among them is their ability to inspire, give insight and enhance the spiritual journey of everyone who reads them. The ability of a reader to communicate one on one with a powerful thinker, as well as take those thoughts to heart, cannot be underestimated. Personal development books are among the most important tools any individual can carry along the road to their own enlightenment.
