Lists of Bests: Best Self Development Books http://www.listsofbests.com/list/49504 These lists are the inevitable expansions of my similar lists on Amazon. Readers of Amazon's lists urged me to expand my lists on different areas from chess to self development that merely reflects my readings and research as a student of these fields. Instead of writing multiple lists in Amazon, I decided to capture my ongoing quest of literary gems in these lists. Mehmet Gok MBA, PMP Johannesburg, 2008.
