The Life-Changing Self-Help Books That Changed My Life

1st July 2019 by Georgie xoxo Leave a Comment

Reading is one of my favourite self-care acts, and in today’s fast-paced and high-stress culture, self-help books, each promising to be the key to living a happier and more successful life, have become such a comfort to me over the years.

In times of feeling hopeless and lost in life, self-help books often find meaning and growth and a deeper sense of who we are, and who we want to be as human beings on the planet.

But with so much choice, it is easy for quality titles to get lost among the shelves. Well, in the midst of dealing with my diagnosis of Scleroderma last year, these are the books that gave me insight, and a glimpse of the complicated matters of the heart when faced with this really isolating, lonely time.

I really hope they give you the same comfort they have given to me. If you feel called to, I’d love to know if you have read any of the books I have mentioned in this post. If not, have any made your reading wishlist?

As a disclaimer: all of the books mentioned link through to Hive. I love buying books from Hive because they support local book shops and indie businesses. I make no commission from any of the links.

life changing self-help books that changed my life

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle

Purchase A New Earth here

Eckhart Tolle is one of my favourite spiritual writers. Below, of course, I feature the bestselling spiritual guide ‘The Power of Now’, a book that inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived “in the now.”

In Tolle’s latest release, ‘A New Earth’, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world.

The idea that we are not anything of form; thoughts, likes or dislikes, cumulative experiences, gender, nationality, religion, and so on is soothing, comforting, provocative and enlightening in this world we live in. 

The simple but incredibly profound principles found in ‘A New Earth’ will open your eyes to will transform you, comfort you, and enable you to transcend, the perceived obstacles, doubts and afflictions you may be facing in your everyday life. 

“You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.”

You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay

Purchase You Can Heal Your Life here

Louise L. Hay is a bestselling author and an internationally known leader in the self-help field. Louise Hay’s key message is: “If we are willing to do the mental work, almost anything can be healed.”

Louise herself has had a great deal of experience and firsthand information to share about healing, including how she cured herself after being diagnosed with cancer.

I was recommended her reading time and time again after being diagnosed with my life-changing illness early last year, and without doubt, this made the biggest difference to the way I viewed my chronic illness.

‘You Can Heal Your Life’ is the book that showed me how to live with Scleroderma, and through all that and more. The learnings you’ll gain from this book can be hard to digest at first, but it truly is possible to ‘heal your life’ and I’m choosing to respond to situations differently and to even look at them differently. 

This book gave me the key to release all things negative. It contains the key sentiment, ‘I am willing to release …”. This is similar to the key components in ‘Power of Now’ from Eckart Tolle as discussed below.

“Remember, you have been criticising yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.”

Radical Self-Love: A Guide to Loving Yourself and Living Your Dreams by Gala Darling

Purchase Radical Self-Love here

One of my favourite ladies in this internet age is the fun, colourful beautiful Gala Darling! And in her first book ‘Radical Self-Love,’ you truly will transform your life!

Gala Darling herself spent years in soul-sucking jobs, battling depression, and an eating disorder. Coming out the other side, she discovered radical self-love for herself, and in doing so changed her life.

In her book ‘Radical Self-Love’, you’ll discover exactly what makes you so magnificent, and you’ll gain a litany of tools and techniques to help you manifest a life bursting with magic, miracles, bliss, and adventure!

Her writing style feels like you’re talking to your best friend and that’s my favourite part about it all. When I read this book I was already on a journey of healing old wounds when I found this, but I wasn’t truly loving myself the way I should, and in that, I have found the most productive healing yet.

I love the way it features accountable homework exercises to stay on top of your journey. This book will take you from learning to fall madly in love with yourself, to loving others, to making your world a more magical place through style, self-expression, and manifestation. Because as Gala Darling says herself, ‘when you love yourself, life is limitless’, and I couldn’t agree more!

“A massive and essential part of self-love is forgiveness and acceptance. So while you’re making an effort and striving to be the best person you can be, at the same time you need to recognize your own humanity. Try not to hold yourself to impeccable standards, and just do the best you can right now.” 

What a Time to be Alone: The Slumflower’s bestselling guide to why you are already enough by Chidera Eggerue

Purchase What a Time to Be Alone here 

One of my favourite places to find books is in the Tate (absolutely not just art books!). On a recent visit, I found the wonderful Slumflower’s (aka Chidera Eggerue’s) ‘What A Time To Be Alone’.

In this book, Chidera will be your life guru, confidante and best friend as she shows you that being alone is not just okay: it’s just about the best thing that could ever happen to you.

Written in a truly unique, one-to-one style with insightful Igbo proverbs from Chidera’s Nigerian mother. It also contains some of Chidera’s original artwork.

This book truly resonated with me as I am in a major self-improvement mode this year, and I feel so empowered with the loving guidance of this book. It’s really made me realise that I have to put myself first in a lot of situations in my life I have neglected my worth. I also highly recommend Chidera’s Ted Talk that expands on the wisdom in this book. 

“Your purpose transcends desirability. You are here to lead a full life.” 

The Four Agreements: Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (Toltec Wisdom Book) by Don Miguel Ruiz

Purchase The Four Agreements here

Of all the books I’m mentioning to you here, Don Miguel Ruiz’s ‘The Four Agreements’ will always have the most special place in my heart because it was the first spiritual book I had ever read, and one I read early last year after finding myself feeling very hopeless and lost.

The ideas in relation to the four agreements on which this book is based are on ancient Toltec wisdom, through which you will learn why and how our beliefs can cause our endless suffering. 

By implementing the Four Agreements outlined by Don Miguel Ruiz, you will transform your life into one of happiness, positivity, and fulfilment. The book builds in very easy to understand breathtaking layers, and the order of these layers and lessons is so important. You can truly feel the kind and loving intent within every single word and the amount I was able to translate into my daily life was instantaneous.

‘The Four Agreements’ is very easy to read and understand and you really don’t need advanced philosophy to move mountains of the mind, but I wish to goodness everyone on earth can have the privilege to read this book. It’s without changed my whole entire life and words will never be enough to how thankful I am I found it. 

“The Four Agreements
1. Be impeccable with your word.
2. Don’t take anything personally.
3. Don’t make assumptions.
4. Always do your best. ” 

Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway: How to Turn Your Fear and Indecision into Confidence and Action by Susan Jeffers

Purchase Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway here

This is a very recent purchase from my time in Glastonbury, so I can’t give it as thorough a review as my other recommendations however I was struck already by the wisdom I am gaining so far I couldn’t leave it out.

If you are feeling lost, unsure, and paralysed by a constant fear that lingers on your every decision, then I highly recommend this bestselling work. In ‘Feel The Fear and Do it Anyway’, Susan Jeffers helps you better understand your fears, learn how to move from victim to empowered, and learn how to combat negative thinking.

In guiding you through this journey, Jeffers provides insightful concepts and techniques, which include positive affirmations and incredibly helpful exercises, to help you think more positively and reclaim your power.

A really empowering read and one that will help you go out into the world with a greater sense of power and go-getting-confidence.

“Every time you encounter something that forces you to “handle it,” your self-esteem is raised considerably. You learn to trust that you will survive, no matter what happens. And in this way, your fears are diminished immeasurably.” 

Notes on a Nervous Planet by Matt Haig

Purchase Notes on a Nervous Planet here

One of my favourite humans on my Twitter feed is the wonderful Matt Haig the best-selling Brighton author of 2015’s ‘Reasons To Stay Alive’, but actually I still need to get that book because I was drawn to this title when I off on a trip this spring feeling quite broken with a timeline of truly hard decisions and events.

With Matt’s writing I instantly feel less alone, and ‘Note on a Nervous Planet’ is essentially a book that looks at how the world messes with our head and how to survive it. Something I truly needed more than anything at that time.

Matt shares real stories and real advice that has helped him through this very nervous, crazy world we are all on. The chapters are short and very readable and absolutely perfect for on-the-go travel or bedside your bed for a little nourishment and comfort every day.

The book is particularly groundbreaking in relation to his hypothesis surrounding technology and social media, and thus I truly feel everyone should have the gift of being able to read this so that they can help to navigate this very overwhelming 24/7 ‘on’ world we live in.

“To enjoy life, we might have to stop thinking about what we will never be able to read and watch and say and do, and start to think of how to enjoy the world within our boundaries. To live on a human scale. To focus on the few things we can do, rather than the millions of things we can’t. To not crave parallel lives. To find a smaller mathematics. To be a proud and singular one. An indivisible prime.” 

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle

Purchase The Power of Now here

Featuring another timeless, beautiful book from Eckhart Tolle, and one perhaps best known of all of his titles.

In ‘The Power of Now’, Tolle teaches you how to free yourself from your mind and to rise above your thoughts. By doing so, Tolle helps you understand that nothing exists outside of the present moment and that we should leave our analytical mind, with its false created self (the ego), behind.

If you are already familiar with ‘The Four Agreements’ above, then this will be something you will enjoy as it follows on from the idea of the ‘false created self (aka ‘ego’). Through ‘The Power of Now’ you will learn how to connect with your inner body, learn how to experience enlightened relationships, release negativity and feel peace.

As with ‘A New Earth’ Tolle provides you with an easy to follow style of writing that takes you on a journey towards spiritual enlightenment, where you will learn to experience beauty and lightness from being in and accepting the now. 

“All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry – all forms of fear – are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.”

Conversations with God, Book 1: An Uncommon Dialogue by Neale Donald Walsch

Purchase Conversations with God here

This is one of the newest books in my collection, recommended by my beautiful friend Janina during our time in Glastonbury (ps the book shops in Glastonbury are just wonderful for spirituality reading).

‘Conversations with God’ is actually a series of four books, and book 1 is just the beginning of a lengthy but a deeply engaging and intriguing conversation.

Some, of course, have found the book to be blasphemous, and many others find it contains much profound information. 

Neale came to write the book during some really hard times in his life, and in a moment of utter frustration, despair, and anger decided to write a letter to God. The result was a passionate scathing letter full of condemnations and angry questions,  and much to his surprise, even shock, God answered him.

The dialogue is truly so illuminating and challenges us to push past the imagined boundaries of what we believe ourselves capable of and look instead to all that we can attain as co-creators with God.

“The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out Who You Are, but seek to determine Who You Want to Be.”

Man’s Search For Meaning: The classic tribute to hope from the Holocaust by Viktor E. Frankl 

Purchase Man’s Search For Meaning here

I’m finishing this post with one of the most truly life-changing, enriching books I have ever read: Viktor Frankl’s ‘Man’s Search For Meaning’.

Written by Austrian neurologist-psychiatrist and a Holocaust survivor Victor Frankl, this book is intense, timeless and deeply reflective.

By narrating his life instances in the Auschwitz concentration camp, it presents the remarkable idea of how we can choose to see a purpose or meaning in any situation, including the worst conditions.

Frankl descriptively illustrates his personal experiences and observations of minute human changes which infuses hope into whoever reads this deeply poignant read.

Frankl’s work is especially comforting when you hit a difficult time in life and you find yourself feeling hopeless like I did early last year. I discovered this life-changing work through Marie Forleo who also has the most wonderful book recommendations you can find.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” 

I’ve truly loved sharing just some of my favourite self-help books with you and I so hope one of the above can aid, comfort, and guide you in life when you need it as they have for me.

Do you have a favourite self-help book that changed your life that I haven’t mentioned?

I would absolutely love it if you could share your recommendations with me below, please! As soon as I’m tieing this up with a bow I’m releasing just how many more books I want to add so a part 2 will follow soon! xoxo

Dear younger Georgie, These are the things I woul Dear younger Georgie,

These are the things I would have wanted you to know this time last year as you celebrate being another year older. 

You were right to choose the word abundance for this year. Although, I don’t think you truly understood the true meaning at the time. Now you’ve learnt that true abundance, magic and the blessings of the universe are within you and around you always. 

You’ll find yourself on an alchemical process of turning dis-ease to simple ‘ease’. The flowing and harmony of life. You’ll finally learn how to move through emotions rather than allowing them to calcify in your bones. You’ll utilise a sense of watery spaciousness. Like the ebb and flow of the gentle tides you watched with awe in Saadiyat Island and the Caribbean. You will become that water. All your sacred energy will be charged by these waters.

You will sink into the golden nectar of your internal world and it will keep you centred and grounded without the pressure from the external world. And there you will finally feel at peace.

Ultimately, life is going to ask you to be constantly courageous. A chance for you to be really brave again and again. So know that no matter what you choose in life you will be met with depth. But to be alive is to be connected. Look only to your own divinity. A beautiful vehicle that carries your soul through life.

Holding you more closely than I ever have before and I promise to look after you from now on. A celebration of a year around the sun means that life gives you another gift. So, keep going small whimsical one. It must be so nourishing to feel the current of life within you again. 

Love, older Georgie xoxo

One of my bucket list goals in life was to see fla One of my bucket list goals in life was to see flamingos in the wild and I got my dream this January 😭🦩.
.
Bonaire is abundant with their love for flamingos. Their airport is even pink and called 'Flamingo Airport'!
.
The Pekelmeer Flamingo Sanctuary is one of only 4 areas in the world where Flamingos breed, making Bonaire the ultimate spot for those who love flamingos as much as me.
.
Tourists are not allowed in the sanctuary, but the birds can be watched with binoculars from the road or nearby Pink Beach. The Caribbean flamingo is also the most colourful of all species of flamingos, due mainly to the red carotenes in their diet.
.
Before I go, some flamingo facts no one asked for but I need to share (🙈): A group of flamingos is called a ‘flamboyance’. Both flamingo and flamboyance come from words referring ‘to fire’. And Flamingo comes from the Spanish and Portuguese flamengo, literally, ‘flame-coloured.’ And finally, Flamboyance comes from French, meaning ‘to flame’ or ‘flair.’ 🦩🇧🇶💓

If you have been to Bonaire, you might have spotte If you have been to Bonaire, you might have spotted the distinctive line of white salt pyramids at the southeastern end of the island. Each pyramid, roughly 50 feet high, contains approximately 10,000 metric tons of 99.6% pure salt. Within these huge mounds of crystals is the Flamingo Reserve that is protected. Bonaire is known for its love of nature and I have so many more images to illustrate this coming soon. And yes I did spot some flamingos in the wild and it was indescribably magical 😭💓🦩🇧🇶

Bon Bini to Bonaire! Along with Aruba and Curaça Bon Bini to Bonaire! Along with Aruba and Curaçao, it is 1 of 3 islands that make up the ABC Islands in the Lesser Antilles.
.
The islands are all part of the Kingdom of Netherlands and have a distinct Dutch flair compared to other islands on the Caribbean map.
.

Among its 18,000 inhabitants, Bonaire counts no less than 4 languages! Whilst Dutch is the official language, it is the colourful Papiamentu that the locals commonly use, along with glimpses of English and Spanish, as well as other languages associated with the many religious faiths found on the island.
.
With colourful architecture, and unique culture that awaits you on each of the ABC islands, it’s a trip that you’ll forever cherish. And honestly, I’m VERY seriously thinking about moving into these colourful flamingo buildings🦩😍❤️
.
Much more from Bonaire soon. Has anyone been? Or to the Caribbean? I’d love to know! 🇧🇶

The history of the Caribbean is rich with adventur The history of the Caribbean is rich with adventurous tales, blended cultures, and natural diversity.
.
The most important thing I wanted from this trip back in January was to connect deeply to this history and the beautiful souls who call the Caribbean home.
.
From meeting artists in Barbados, to the honour of meeting Carib-Indians in a community in Dominica, I feel so thankful for the blessings of this trip that has enriched an even more powerful exploration of what it means to connect through our shared compassion and humanity.
.
I’ll be posting them on my blog so I’m not restricted by words and images and post when they are up (I can’t believe it’s 10 years since I opened this space!).
.
But before I go, I was really touched by an interview I watched recently between @brenebrown and @chasejarvis. In it, Brene calls for ‘a minstry of presence’ with people and how this and empathy are the most powerful gifts we can bring to the world.
.
I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this because I truly believe that wherever we are today, even just as we move through this online landscape, and through our own communities in the safest way we can now, that arriving with our full presence and the deepest empathy we can bring is a form of medicine that is indescribably powerful.
.
I met so many people on my travels who just long to tell their stories and talk to us. I feel so privileged to share these stories and that I have your presence with me as I share them 🇦🇬☀️

I was just looking through some of my photos from I was just looking through some of my photos from the Caribbean and this capture of a Rainbow in Bonaire really spoke to my heart and soul.
. 
Rainbows are one of the most potent reminders of hope as they often appear when the sun follows a heavy rainfall. They serve to remind us that there is hope and light to follow even after dark times.
.
Now, more than ever, we need hope. For if we are to sink into the uncertainty the world is facing right now, the most natural thing to do is to succumb to hopelessness and despair.
.
But in the midst of this suffering and in times like this I know it can seem impossible to find hope.
.
But ultimately hope helps us process the uncertain times to blossom into something beautiful. Even if it’s fleeting in our imagination.
.
This year, the arrival of spring has reminded me of the powerful message of hope that the sacred rhythm of the universe brings.
.
For the light begins to shine brightly once more, animals emerge once again, and plants and flowers ‘spring’ into bloom.
.
And just as the bulbs of blooms come to break through the earth searching for the sunlight, I hope so dearly that this message of hope will give you a glowing golden light at the end of the tunnel to lean into.
.
Because I am always determined, even when it feels impossible, to remain focused and hopeful on my quest to find the gold at the end of all 🌈s 💖🌈💖🌈💖🌈 (from Whimsy Wednesday April 2020)

The Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral with its g The Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral with its golden domes dominates the city and is a symbol of Sofia. Started in 1882 it was finished in 1912 and named after the patron saint of the Russian Tsar Alexander II who was in power at the time.

The peal of its 12 bells can be heard from 30km away and it is considered to be the largest operating Eastern Orthodox church in the Balkans. Inside you can see wonderful icons, huge chandeliers and the royal thrones.
