Whats On Your Shelf??

"From that time on, the world was hers for the
reading. She would never be lonely again, never
miss the lack of intimate friends. Books became
her friends and there was one for every mood...
on the day when she first knew she could read, she
made a vow to read one book a day as long as she lived."

I've been thinking about self-help books. I've read a LOT of them in my life. Most of them unmemorable. A few of them are irreplaceable.
Here are my top 6 (in no particular order.)
I dare anyone to find fault with this one!! I dare you to find out what your 'love language' is and the love language of all the lovelies in your life!!! Go here to find out.
This one changed my trajectory on raising teenagers!! THank Heavens!!!
Anger issues anyone? Marvelous book on building healthy relationships.
All inclusive!! All answers are found here!!

Im sure my Builder wishes I had found this gem MUCH sooner in our married life. I now commonly give this book as a wedding gift or shower gift.

What have been some of your favorites?

Thanks for sharing this great list! I've got a gift card to Barnes and Noble that will be used wisely now! I have had the book Bonds That Make Us Free on my bookshelf for years - I'll dust it off and read that this month! My all-time favorite help book is "Standing for Something" by Gordon B. Hinkley. It's simply incredible. I'm reading "The Kaizen Way" right now. I'm only on page 25 but I am sure this one will become a favorite. Love ya!

I have also read and loved several of your top list. Another one I have found very valuable is "You Don't Have to Make Everything All Better" and "Kids are Worth It" My girls are reading that one now and find it helpful.
