Vort Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I went broke trying to get my self-help business book published. Sorry. rameumptom and john doe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkstpaul Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Just wondering if anyone here writes self-help business books. And I don't meean get rich quick books. Thanks.I could write one but there isn't a market - as Vort may have found. Feel free to ask for specific advice. I found successful people are always willing to share. They (we) don't fear competition. Your success is our success. That would be one chapter in the book.

Connie Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) If you haven't already, you could check out some of the books by Stephen Covey or Dale Carnegie. They both write about good principles that can be applied in business. Here's a list i found at goodreads of popular business self help books, see link: https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/business-self-help Edited May 29, 2015 by Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I don't write them, but I do have 2 decades of corporate training, self-paced training, and reading recommended books. The best two, hands down, are "The Anatomy of Peace" and "Leadership and Self-Deception". (Both written by the Arbinger Institute, which is just chock full to overflowing with Mormons, but please don't tell that to all the people who are all excited about these books.)

richard7900 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I think I have a good idea for a self help book, dealing with some aspect of business. I probably could do worse than join Amazon's Kindle Publishing Scheme and get onto the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palerider Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 One of the best books I read and it's a short book to read is titled .......Who Moved My Cheese. One place I went to work at required it to be read by all employees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I have written many technical manuals. But none of them have made the best seller list. The closest I have come to something popular was a upgrade including tech manuals to a Proctor and Gamble manufacturing facility that I designed developed and installed as the lead engineer - that made the cover and featured article of a national publication. I kept some copies of the mag for a while - but then chucked then out. No one I knew; cared. NeuroTypical 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john doe Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 The best self-help book I've read is the Book of Mormon. Perhaps you've heard of it? Vort 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I use the mobile version of this website almost all the time and it doesn't show 'likes' by default, so frankly I keep forgetting the ability to do it is there.

pam Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I have a hard time helping myself at times let alone write a book about it. :) Traveler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rameumptom Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I've written some training modules for classes I've taught, both university level and for groups. While I have several books, including some on finance in the works, nothing is out quite yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
