What self-help books are worth reading?
Not exactly self-help,but just read a couple of Donald Trump books where he gives loads of advice on how to succeed.How valuable the advice is i'm not sure,but they are fun books to read.
Anyone recommend anything else.

How to stop wasting money on stupid books and find a decent shrink before you get sectioned.
Personally I'd just read random livejournals and realise that I'm actually quite normal and well adjusted really.

Paul,
Ive read quite a few books from so called business leaders, not just because I am interested in gleaning some insight into their techniques and mindset but also because I never read fictional books. What I normally find however is that 'most' of these successful people come from very wealthy backgrounds and that has been key to their success in the early days so they are not really rags to riches stories. Bizarrely one of the most interesting books I have read in the last couple of years is Pete Watermans 'this is me' if you want to read a real not-a-pot-to-****-in to lots of wealth then read it, you might not like his music but its worth a read.
