Self improvment is a field like maths , physics , computer science etc

[Ramanujan]

self improvment is a new field.  first major book was think and grow rich by napoleon hill. when 7 habits of highly effective people came, it revolutionised self improvment.  when david allen came with GTD , it revoutionised self improvment. the earliest self improvment idea was of benjamin franklin's 13 virtues.

 

self improvment is a new field. it is still in its infancy . many legends came up with their system. still it is far from being perfect. would love to see more and more new ideas coming to self improvment.  

[Ramanujan]

7 habits is the greatest self improvment book of all time

[Joseph Maynor]

"The Power of Full Engagement" by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz is my favorite self-help book, if I had to pick one.
