I believe that personal self-development is a life long process. I urge you not just to buy and thumb though these materials but to read, absorb and use the ideas and “aha’s” gathered from them in your daily life. A Chinese Proverb reads: “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”

Self-Development Fiction Books
This page contains my picks for the top self-development fiction books.
Jonathon Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach - Jonathon Livingston Seagull
Who would have thought that a fictional seagull named Jonathon Livingston could have become such a timeless hero of the modern self-discovery movement? Here I am thirty-eight years after the first publication date reviewing this powerful classic. What makes this tale about a nonconforming gull so timeless? Here’s what I think and I hope you’ll let me what you think.
The Alcemist by Pallo Coelho - The Alchemist
Have you ever dreamt to living out your wildest dreams and then talked yourself out of it? Are you unsure about taking that leap of faith and beginning your journey to greater self-discovery? If you answered, “yes” to either question, then please read on because The Alchemist is a book you’ll want to sit back and enjoy.
The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom - The Five People You Meet In Heaven
You never know whose life you’ll have the ability to change or positively impact by simply “knowing” them. The Five People You Meet In Heaven, weaves a story of how one man impacted the lives of so many people and yet, never realized it until he met and talked with them in heaven.
The Traveler's Gift - The Traveler's Gift
The Traveler’s Gift is a fascinating combination of self-development principles and captivating fiction. How great is it to be able to learn wisdom from King Solomon and forgiveness from Abraham Lincoln? The author takes us on not only a historical journey but also one of self-discovery.
The Twelfth Angel - The Twelfth Angel
I’ve always enjoyed Og Mandino’s self-development books, both his nonfiction and fiction. The Twelfth Angel is trademark Og Mandino - it is a powerful self-development lesson taught through emotion and by example. It’s a story of hope for the future, even when the future appears hopeless.
