"Good books transform lives"
Life Changing Benefits of Personal Development Books
The Bible says there is nothing new under the sun. Honestly, there is nothing any of us will encounter in our lifetime that someone else has not already faced, persevered through, and wrote a book about it! Finding the right book and author with the right message and the wisdom to articulate methods for change is the simplest path to transformation in any area of life. My Audible book collection is loaded with so many personal development treasures, words can't express how indebted I am to the authors. This is my quick, short list of book recommendations for anyone wanting to do life better.

Life changing principle is new or more information is not what you need– a new plan of action is. The key to success is creating new behaviors and habits.

Life changing truths are plenty in this book from several amazing teachers including one fundamental truth that the energy we put out in the world is the energy we get back.

Books are a passport to all kinds of knowledge, intelligence and wisdom.
