Self Help Online
If you walk into any bookshop, you will find that the self help section has become huge. Self help or personal development has become big business in the publishing world with books on how to improve your life in all kinds of ways being published on almost a daily basis. But there are now plenty of ways you can find self help online, and quite often you can join and use these sites for free.
Here are a few of my favourite personal development websites:
TUT: Mike Dooley’s fun website is all about believing in infinite possibilities, and his tag line is “thoughts become things”. You can order the Infinite Possibilities: The Art of Living Your Dreams program, or you can go to the main website and get free “Notes from the Universe” and other inspirational stuff.
Authentic Transformation Here is what Neil Crofts says about his services: “Whatever you do to make a living I can help you find a way to make life more meaningful - whether that means finding a new job, starting your own business or transforming the business you work for or own.” Neil offers ebooks, free newsletters and coaching services for business and individuals.
MindTools Mindtools is full of both free and paid-for programs, including self-study courses, coaching services and ebooks for all career-based issues, including time management, stress management, communication skills, memory improvement, leadership skills, problem solving etc.
Solution Box If you are already a life coach, David Wood has some great resources in how to build your business - and also training for those who would like to become a life coach. If you’re not a life coach, there is a great “Create A Life You Love” newsletter and a popular book called The Truth About Women (!)
Success University If you would like to get online training with TOP speakers in the industry, get motivational CDs and DVDs in the post, a monthly newsletter AND make money, then this is definitely the site for you! You can get a $2 trial for two weeks before you decide to join. Courses cover a wide range of topics, including self confidence, communication skills, financial skills, goal-setting, leadership skills - loads for you to dip into!
I hope you enjoy looking at these sites. If you have any further suggestions for self help online sites, then leave me a comment.
If you still prefer to sit down with a book, I have also chosen a few self-help books below:
