" This book is a must read for anyone who's interested in spitituality. It opened my eyes to so many thing until I'm frustrated! I have a new respect for philosophy. There were 5 or 6 books that I'm going to read in the future because of this book! Very good book! "

" I have been reading this book chapter by chapter for 1 year. The book contains small chapter reviews on 50 wonderful people who have made a difference in this world either by social justice or their contribution to spirituality/religion. I recommend this book. "

" there are no tips in here-just a list with enough info to help you decide what book to pick up next. i like that it includes things that are not quite "self help" like the bible. it's more of a self development list then self help. "
— Melanie, 6/3/2010 -
" As a summary, it does a good job but I was expecting it to be more 'helpful'. It delivers the message without the force. "
— Noushin, 1/5/2010 -
" Good summary of the books that help so many with their lives. My favorite is still "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. "

" A review of the best self help books. I enjoyed hearing the good points of books from the Bible to 7 Effective Habits of Successful People to Dale Carnegie, to the Dalai Lami, to many many others that I had heard about. "

" Listened to as an audio book - lots of good info summarized. "
— Shane, 1/30/2008 -
" I really liked this one because it's not a typical self help book. It doesn't actually give you any self help pointers, as much as it just gives you a list of other books that will. So I guess in a way, that is teaching you how to help yourself find self help... I already feel better. "
— Erik, 1/17/2008 -
" it's a collection of good books & theory. nice to read to understand a lot of new knowledge to learn. "
