Once again, a straight foward instructional book about personal development and the idealogies that psychology has contributed towards personal development. This book is divided into eight parts which covers the basics of CBT, Life coaching, Neauro Linquistic Programming, Cognative Behavioral Science, and Hypnotherapy to help you put your life together. I love these 'Dummy' books as they are written in plain simple English without being too intimidating or patronizing.

Great introduction to personal development

As ever, with this series, a useful initial overview. It contains useful worksheets (which one could presumably photocopy, if that is legal).
