Ask HN: Self help books that have made you a better human being?

5 pointsby optbuildover 2 years ago
I don&#x27;t particularly like this genre because, nowadays, books in that genre have become the same repetitive thing.<p>But there are books like How to Win Friends and Influence People that are mentioned over and over again on HN comments.<p>Have you implemented advice from any such book that have impacted your life for the better? How did it affect your well being?

`Mastery` by Robert Greene[0] was helpful. Mastery can apply to any discipline, so it&#x27;s a generic book that caters to any creative endeavor. I read it in a day, it&#x27;s a small little book which I constantly re-read when I feel un-creative. It sparks inspiration each time I read it.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mastery_(book)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mastery_(book)</a>
