Self Improvement General
Those of you who have actually read more than 2 or 3 self improvement books, which ones are actually worth reading and have insight beyond basic logic??
I know most people read only one of the most popular ones and thus only recommend it regardless of it is actually good, like Dale Carnegie's, Napoleon Hill's, Tony Robbins etc.
I'm not saying the popular ones are bad but I was hoping /lit/ would have something amazing to suggest, it can be any topic: self discipline, money, dating, friends and relationships, etc etc.

Self-improvement through books especially for self-improvement is an exercise in futility.
>>
If you want a more spiritual/esoteric bent to your self-improvement:

Evola's Ride the Tiger

Evola's Doctrine of Awakening (pussies need not apply, shit is hardcore even for me)

Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling/Sickness unto Death

Epictetus/Seneca/Aurelius

Illiad (Yup, if you know how to read it for that purpose)

All the blog posts on Gornahoor

What the Buddha Taught

Schumacher's a Guide for the Perplexed

Primordial Meditations by Frithjof Schuon
>>
Would Marcus's Meditations be considered basic logic? I suppose it's not along the pragmatic lines you're looking at.

Maybe I should suggest Thinking fast and slow.
