Books on personal development

This is a list of books on the topic of self-development. Most of these books at least keep the everlasting quest for self-development alive and kicking. And a number of books (perhaps not all of them) most likely will offer tremendous insight, food for thought and inspiration.

A number of books on this list are taken from Steve Pavlina’s list of recommended reading. As I think he writes very interesting and helpful articles about the subject, I value his recommendation.

The categories in which that list was split up are: Consciousness, Awareness, Spirituality / Meaning, Purpose, Fulfillment / Philosophy, Wisdom / Psychic Development, Astral Projection, Dreams / Productivity, Time Management, Effectiveness / Success, Behavior, Victory / Wealth, Business, Relationships / Health, Medicine / Mental Development, Intelligence, Science and Fiction.

This is an ever-growing list.
