50 Self-Help Classics: 50 Inspirational Books to Transform Your Life, From Timeless Sages to Contemporary Gurus
     by    Tom Butler-Bowdon

"A tremendous resource book for anyone seeking a 'bite-sized' look at the philosophies of many self-help legends, including sacred scriptures of different traditions. Because the range and depth of the sources are so huge, the cumulative reading effect is amazing. Alternatively, it educates and edifies, affirms and inspires. Often both."

Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

"The best ideas in the field have now been collected by Tom Butler-Bowdon in a book of 50 self-help classics. It presents a useful historical perspective and there are some gems. You would expect the most successful self-help books to pander to instincts of self-promotion and self-preservation. But you do not find them much in Mr Butler-Bowdon's collection."
Richard Donkin, Financial Times, May 2003

"Butler-Bowdon has summarised some of the most remarkable thoughts - thoughts with wisdom, I must add - that will enlighten and lead the reader to understand the very nature of human nature. It will soon become the 51st classic."
Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business at the University of California and bestselling writer on leadership.

Tom Butler-Bowdon lives in the Uk and Australia where he runs a self-help classics website, http://www.butler-bowdon.com. He is also the author of a forthcoming book, 50 Success Classics.
