Publishing house "MYTH".
Personal growth helps you change your life circumstances, get rid of stereotypical thinking, start living meaningfully, and awaken your creativity. All this should contribute to prosperity and success. Books on how to properly engage in self-development.
Why is it useful to engage in self-development? Because, according to psychologists, personal growth helps us change, which means change life circumstances, get rid of thinking stereotypes, start living meaningfully, awaken creativity in ourselves and increase physical and spiritual energy, which will ultimately lead to prosperity and success . Self-development involves three processes: physical activity, healthy eating and mental self-regulation. We read about how to do this correctly in the best books on a given topic.
1. Brian Tracy “Get out of your comfort zone. 21 methods to increase personal effectiveness"
According to many psychologists, this is book No. 1 on self-development (see “”). Written by a famous expert in the field of achievement psychology, published in a total circulation of more than 1.2 million copies, translated into 40 languages, it helps to find the answer to the question of what to do in order to achieve high status and even happiness. Although there are actually several answers, here are some of them: constantly learn; value time, and therefore make daily to-do lists; fully concentrate on solving the task at hand and bring what you start to the end; learn to clearly state your goals on paper.
2. Vadim Zeland “Reality Transurfing”
Transurfing is an esoteric teaching about how to control reality. According to the author of the book, the world is multivariate, and a person who has realized his desires and controls his attitude towards the world is able to independently choose the desired development of events. But for this purpose and positive thinking. Here are a few rules by following which you can learn to manage reality: live as your own soul dictates, listen to your heart, do not succumb to the influence of others and do not accept the imposed goals of others, do not fight with anyone or anything, including yourself, and take what life offers, not be afraid, but act, and calmly and persistently move towards it. The author shows in detail how to apply all this in practice with examples.
3. Andre Kukla “Mental traps. Stupid things that reasonable people do to ruin their lives."
A well-known Canadian psychologist and philosopher, the professor explains why one should not violate the biblical commandment: for everything there is a time. Because in this case we fall into so-called mental traps. Their danger is that they prevent us from living calmly, joyfully and productively, because they force us to behave ineffectively and illogically. And the author counted eleven such unique obstacles on our way. Here is one of them: - when we continue to do things that have lost all meaning (live in a marriage, maintain unnecessary relationships, do a job we don’t like, watch a boring movie or finish reading a stupid book), because we were once told that any task is necessary bring to a conclusion. The list of mental traps also includes amplification, fixation, reversion, anticipation, delay and other interesting concepts that you want to understand in order to better understand yourself.
4. Vladimir Levi “Cure for Laziness”
The book by the famous psychotherapist and psychologist captures you from the first lines. Written with humor and imbued with energy, it really helps you heal yourself and help your loved ones overcome this monster. The author fascinatingly talks about all types of laziness inherent in adults and children, gives clear medical and psychological recommendations, including for cases when a child does not listen and does not want to study. It’s worth reading this book to find out how to get rid of boredom and depressive moods, learn to get joy from every day you live and... stop being a workaholic.
5. Valery Sinelnikov “Love your illness”
Psychologist and psychotherapist Valery Sinelnikov has long been known as the author of original psychological techniques, thanks to which many people were able to get rid of illnesses, achieve prosperity and simply learn to enjoy life. The title of the book itself suggests that the proposed approach to healing is non-trivial. The author shows what negative emotions lead to, teaches how to interact with your subconscious in order to find good health, peace of mind and joy of existence. Unique exercises are also given here.
6. Robin Sharma "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari"
The best-selling book tells the amazing story of successful lawyer Julian Mantle, who managed to overcome a spiritual crisis with the help of Tibetan culture. Having immersed himself in a world that was not familiar to him, he learned simple and wise rules and learned to live in accordance with them: think positively, follow his calling, believe in the power of his mind, value time - our greatest wealth, value relationships with loved ones, but the most important thing is to live here and now.
Robin Sharma, like the hero of his book, also began his professional career as a lawyer, but soon realized that his calling was not this, but to, by creating his own concept of self-improvement, help us become better, more successful and happier.
7. Tal Ben-Shahar “The Perfectionist Paradox”
An American psychologist who has been studying the topic of happiness for many years has come to the conclusion that what prevents people from being happy is a tendency toward perfectionism. Of course, the desire to do everything perfectly cannot but arouse respect, but the main thing is not to go to extremes. Because then the problems begin. A perfectionist, with all his desire for perfection, is distinguished by conservative and inflexible thinking, afraid of making a mistake and becoming an object of criticism. Happiness, in his opinion, is a pure, uncomplicated flow of positive emotions, which is fundamentally wrong. Allow yourself to admit failures and accept negative emotions, because this is part of our life. Become an optimalist, that is, a positive perfectionist who enjoys not the result, but the very process of achieving it, does not look for shortcomings, but focuses on the merits, is not afraid of mistakes and listens to criticism, knows that happiness cannot be felt and realized without trials .
8. Sharon Melnik “Stress Resistance”
In our time, the importance of this book cannot be overestimated. Most of us experience constant mental and emotional pressure. Meanwhile, a stress-resilience expert from Harvard offers 100 techniques to help achieve calm and equanimity. With their help, you can not only maintain composure and a sober mind in difficult situations, acquiring psychological stability, but also learn to see not only negative aspects in stressful situations, but also new opportunities. According to the author, there are only three ways to get out of stress: you need to change your attitude towards the problem, your physical reaction to the problem or the problem.
9. Daniel J. Amen “Fitness for the brain, or how to become smarter”
To feel good and look great, we run in the morning, walk a lot or work out in the gym. To enjoy our reflection in the mirror, we make masks, peeling and choose creams meticulously. But doesn't the brain require the same constant and diligent care? How demanding it is! Meanwhile, it is often as if we are deliberately doing everything in order to cause irreparable harm to him. We don’t get enough sleep, we overexert ourselves at work, we live in a state of stress, we don’t eat right, we consume gallons of mentally stimulating drinks. As a result, we predictably get exhaustion of the nervous system and depression, failures in career and personal life.
Fortunately, you can still get out of this “bottom” with the help of a unique brain healing system developed by Dr. Amen. It includes a responsible attitude towards your own nutrition, and taking vitamins, and physical activity, and mental gymnastics. This book can change your life for the better.
10. Harry Lorraine “Supermemory. Development of phenomenal memory"
The book includes two psychological bestsellers by Harry Lorraine, the famous brain researcher. The unique system for developing mental abilities that he developed allows you to use not 10 percent of the brain’s resources, as is usually the case, but all 90! Having mastered this system, you will notice not only increased observation, sharpened attention, increased ability to concentrate, but also a phenomenal improvement in memory, imagination, and creative potential. Moreover, the proposed method is relatively simple and accessible, and it is not for nothing that the author called it “a method for the lazy.”
The first part of the book is devoted to the basic techniques and methods of memorizing large amounts of information. The second is to apply the acquired skills in everyday life.
The first ones haven't had their turn yet. But it's time to do the latter!
It often happens that a fan of reading deliberately abandons his favorite pastime, frightened by the volume of “obligatory classics” - Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Galswary...
Of course, reading the classics is a plus. Overcoming huge volumes is a small feat, but it is. However, sometimes it is much more pleasant to pick up a small book, devour it in one or two evenings and get a lot of well-deserved pleasure.
Especially for you, we have compiled a top list of books that can be read in one sitting. The volume of proposed works ranges from mini-stories to full-fledged, laconic novels. Important: no stories! Only large prose, which its talented (and sometimes brilliant) authors managed to squeeze into capacious volumes. Classics, modern prose, and even experimental avant-garde works await you.
The number of pages indicated varies depending on the edition of the book or reader configuration.
Are you ready to dive into the wonderful world of word magic? Then - go ahead!
Daniel Wallace "Ray in Reverse"
Number of pages: ≈ 220.
How is a typical story constructed? Quite simply: it started like this and ended like that. How is Wallace's tragicomedy constructed? Not so simple, but more interesting: at the end there was such and such, before that there was such and such, and even earlier such and such. And believe me, reading from the end is no worse than reading from the beginning. The intrigue never goes away.
So, Ray. Ray died and went to heaven - to a support group for those who cannot resolve the issue with the last words in life. This is a very useful therapy for those who have eternal life ahead of them, although Ray doesn't think so. His life was not very bright, but not too boring either. Just right. A happy childhood and a beloved grandfather, who did die one day. Cheerful youth and great love. An adored collection of buttons and a meeting with a celebrity. Cancer and death. And yet, what did Ray say in the last moments of his life that he can’t get rid of in heaven?
George Orwell "Animal Farm"
Number of pages: ≈ 140.
The brilliant satirical dystopia of the author of “1984” (“Big Brother is watching you,” remember?) could not find a publisher for a long time due to its blatant parallels with the Soviet Union. The pig leaders in this book looked suspiciously like the leaders of the USSR, Stalin and Trotsky. In general, political reasons did not play into the hands of the author and his amazing book. Fortunately, the story soon changed.
So, Animal Farm. A farm where animals together overthrew the oppression of people and generally drove out bipeds from their land. The solution of important issues was entrusted to the most intelligent four-legged animals - pigs. From now on, the poor, long-oppressed cattle worked only for themselves and for themselves. The farm prospered, the creatures triumphed, and the rules of Animal Farm guaranteed peace. Until the new leadership got a taste of power...
Pascal Brückner "My Little Husband"
Number of pages: ≈ 192.
The mini-fairy tale for adults from one of the most provocative writers in France was a great success. Moderately phantasmagorical, moderately erotic, moderately tragic. Ideal proportion of all components. The essence of the story is this: once upon a time there was one man in the world. More like a little man. Charming but short man. And he happened to fall in love with a stately, tall, powerful woman. They got married and began raising children in order to become a full-fledged family with all the ensuing consequences.
With one small amendment: the more children a couple had and the older they became, the less selfless the husband and father became. At some point he became smaller than a pupa! Of course, respecting the head of a family as tall as a finger is very problematic... Now the children are dipping their father into a bowl of soup, and the wife is driving him out of bed. What will be next?!
Richard Brautigan "Trout Fishing in America"
Number of pages: ≈ 115.
A literary critic once said that Richard Brautigan is a man who is not at home in this world. If you read his books, you understand that this is so. Such a charming surreal could only be written by a person not from this world. A very small work consists of very short and not always connected chapters, which are united by a common hero (yes, a full-fledged hero!): the magazine “Trout Fishing in America”.
However, the rest of the characters are not bored either. They make love, travel, philosophize, admire the world and get into trouble. It is worth noting that Brautigan's prose is not the easiest reading. He writes airily and quickly, but in a very intricate manner. Definitely not for everyone. And if you happen to be such a fan, be sure to read another mini-book by Brautigan - “In Watermelon Sugar.”
Stephen Chbosky "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"
Number of pages:≈ 288 (reduced book format + large font).
Stephen is clearly not shy about admitting to being a fan of Selinger's The Catcher in the Rye. After all, his story has the same leitmotif - the stages of growing up of one boy who is about to become a young man. The story about his life is presented in a very unusual way, through the hero’s letters to a certain friend whom he had never met. Moreover, these letters do not have a return address.
The hero simply, sincerely and frankly talks about everything that happens to him in high school. New friends and a girlfriend who could become something more. Parties. Parents. Brother and sister. New favorite teacher. New favorite books. And a mystery that runs like a red thread through the entire narrative, giving no rest to either the author, the hero, or the reader...
Sue Townsend "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole"
Number of pages: ≈ 320.
British writer Sue Townsend is an amazing person and creator. She wrote several amazing tragicomic books, after which she became completely blind. However, she did not break down, but continued to study literature with the help of her assistants. “The Secret Diary” is an extremely short and even abrupt narrative from the perspective of one boy, whose mother went on a trip with a new lover, leaving the boy with his loser dad.
Dad is constantly covered in dirt and depression, while the boy suffers from a huge pimple and unrequited love for a beautiful girl. In general, this is a rather complicated story about how a family falls apart, and a child loses himself while the parents are exclusively occupied with their own problems and experiences. Please note that the text is even shorter than the approximate number of pages - often it takes up half a page.
Erlend Lu "Doppler"
Number of pages: ≈ 192.
The most famous Norwegian author (however, now detective writer Jo Nesbø can also compete for this title) has always written succinctly, concisely and sharply. Behind the deceptive simplicity and ease lies a harsh tragedy. "Doppler" is no exception. The main idea of the book is the confrontation between civilized culture and wild forest life. On the one hand, Mr. Doppler is wealthy, successful and prosperous. He has a house, a car, a wife, a daughter and a baby son. Everything an ordinary person needs.
On the other hand, he is desperately drawn to the forest, to the open space, away from taxes, a washing machine, TV and politics. His dream: to live in a tent, eat what you get yourself, look at the sky and urinate from the hill, looking at the hated city. At one point he did just that. He also made a friend - a calf calf, whose mother became Doppler's dinner. And then a new dream appeared: to build a totem and drink skim milk...
Salman Rushdie "Harun and the Sea of Stories"
Number of pages: ≈ 176.
Salman Rushdie is a respected British author of Indian origin. It is logical to assume that India occupies a special place in his work. At least in this book for sure. Harun is such a Little Prince with an oriental flavor. His dad had always been a master liar, whose funny and absurd stories lifted the spirits of everyone who heard them. But, alas, one day he lost his eloquence...
Frustrated, Harun, in search of his father’s gift, wandered into an amazing fairy-tale land, in no way inferior to “1001 Nights” (in the chaste version), where he made new friends and even defeated the enemies of the Sea of Stories. A mind-blowing journey! Whether it’s a parable, or a fairy tale, or a paradoxical humoresque - it’s not so important. The main thing is that it is impossible to tear yourself away from the book.
Truman Capote " Breakfast at Tiffany's»
Number of pages:≈ 160.
Only the lazy have not heard of Holly Golightly. The frivolous and openly selfish American woman was simply bound to become the object of universal censure. However, instead, Holly became a symbol of the youth of her time and a charming trendsetter. The fame of the book was strengthened by his starring role. Actually, it was this story that made Truman Capote exactly the kind of writer that hordes of fans around the world know him as.
He colorfully, but sincerely and extremely vitally painted the image of a girl who is attracted by rich society, luxurious, generous men, shopping and, of course, a girl’s best friend - diamonds. Holly is like a living metaphor for New York, a city at once vicious and childishly naive, which is ready to provide its residents with a lot of opportunities and no less disappointments.
Jeff Noon "Automatic Alice"
Number of pages:≈ 223.
You've probably read Lewis Carroll's world-famous stories "Alice in Wonderland" and "Alice Through the Looking Glass." Noon came up with his own version of the popular story, which at the same time can be considered a kind of continuation. Alice Noona enters a magical world through an ancient clock while chasing her feisty parrot.
In this world, people have crossed beyond recognition with animals and a variety of objects, becoming bizarre mutants. Also, the world has thrown a whole bunch of mysteries at Alice and her mechanical sister that need to be solved before returning home. But we still need to come back somehow! A nice bonus of the book - the Cheshire Cat did not disappoint.
Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt "Oscar and the Pink Lady"
Number of pages: ≈ 160.
It's very easy to write a disgusting speculative book:
- more snot;
- more childhood suffering;
- more religion.
To write a non-disgusting and non-speculative book with the same parameters, you need... to be Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt. Because he is a master in his field! The short story tells the story of a boy who has just a few days left to live - he is dying from terminal cancer. Parents experience a terrible feeling of guilt before their dying son, and therefore are simply unable to visit the child.
But an old (but incredibly cheerful!) grandmother Rosa comes to him, who tells wonderful stories from her wrestling past and encourages him to confess his love to a girl from another hospital ward. Dying is very scary, but... When you live every day like ten years, surrounded by loving people and telling all this in letters to God, it’s a little better than just falling asleep and not waking up. Why, it’s much better!
Fleur Yeggy "Happy Unlucky Years"
Number of pages:≈ 192.
A typical warm lamp book about the small world of a private school for girls. Under the cover of aristocratic decency, real passions are hidden, seething like a cauldron on a fire. At the same time, the text turned out to be surprisingly chaste, capacious and memorable. No physiological details, no gut wrenches or sexual perversions. And yet... Truly - happy, unhappy years.
The time when, perhaps, the most important things are implanted in a person. Determining his entire future life. Will every girl be able to pass such a test without breaking down? The main character turned out to be a tough nut to crack. She grew, matured, changed. But her friend, who lived her school years relatively calmly, apparently was never able to adapt to the big strange world of adults...
The period of human learning is not limited to the years spent at a school desk. To achieve success at work, in your personal life and in communicating with other people, it is worth it. The book has always been considered the best teacher. What to read for self-development? Here is a selection of 40 fiction and popular science works that are worthy of becoming a reference book for a modern person.
Classics: 9 fiction books for all times
