Personal development books
Self help books including mindfulness books, inspirational books, and books on leadership are abundant. And they are absolutely vital in planting new seeds in your mind – offering new ways to perceive the world.
Whether self improvement, personal goal setting, or self motivation are your reasons for pursuing self help, reading is a great way to learn about how others have overcome challenges that you may also be facing in your life.
Hence, at IBI, we tend to think of books as affordable mentoring. Some books offer a personal development plan template in the frameworks they introduce. Here is a reading list of some of our favourite books on mindset (in no particular order):
