David Riklan is one of the on-line world's top experts on self-improvement. You may know him from www.SelfGrowth.com or from any of his several other Web sites and newsletters.

For The Top 101 Experts Who Help Us Improve Our Lives, he looked into which self-help experts are most often searched for on the Web. Having identified who they are, he devised an ingenious format for briefly describing how each one got their start, what their key message is, how to find out more about them on-line and where to start in investigating their work.

It's that last point that makes this book special. Many of these experts have written lots of books, created many audio and video products and deliver many seminars and courses. Without someone to guide you where to enter that maze of material, you would quickly become confused by starting with something that's too advanced for you.

The experts include classic self-help gurus like Tony Robbins, Dale Carnegie and Stephen Covey; business improvement experts like Ken Blanchard, Brian Tracy and Jim Collins; psychologists like Dr. Phil McGraw; spiritual healers like Deepak Chopra and Caroline Myss; personal finance teachers like Robert Allen, Robert Kiyosaki and Bruce Wilkinson; and relationship counselors like John Gray and Barbara De Angelis. There's no attempt to separate out the "serious" from the "popular". You find Sylvia Browne ahead of the Dalai Lama.

Unless you are a committed self-help junkie, chances are that you haven't read anything by more than a few dozen of these people. With this reference, you can decide which of the others is most worthy of your attention. That will save you countless hours and lots of money.

If there's a better guide to the top self-help experts, I don't know what it is. Get this book today!

Excellent collection of writings by some of the most amazing self help experts in the world. Well written compilation of imformation and wisdom that will help you to live a life you only imagined.

Self-Improvement: The Top 101 Experts Who Help Us Improve Our Lives
by David Riklan

I have deliberately bought these two books to be used as an intellectual resource on optimum performance technologies. Combined them with my earlier acquisition of Tom Butler-Brown's trilogy of books (which I have already reviewed), namely:

- 50 Self Help Classics;
- 50 Success Classics;
- 50 Spiritual Classics;

& my impending requisition of the author's latest '50 Psychology Classics', I now have, in my hands, more than 2,000 pages of well-researched & systematically organised information nuggets. What a formidable intellectual resource!

I have browsed the foregoing two books very quickly & I generally concur with most of the positive reviews by other reviewers, especially Donald Mitchell.

For readers who are still scouting for peak performance technologies, please go no further. Just follow my personal example.

David Riklan's Top 101 Experts is an absolute masterpiece! The enormous amount of valuable content in this book simply astounded me.

Invest in this book and you've made one of the smartest investments in your life. If you have an interest in self improvement, this book will save you more time and more money than you can possibly imagine. This is decades of research. David has done the work for you. Once you get your copy you won't want to part with it. You'll want to get copies for all of your friends and colleagues too. I know I did!

I love this book! David spent a lifetime reading and reviewing self-help literature. Now he presents to you his summary of what the top 101 self help experts have to say.

As a motivational author, host of EmpoweringMessages.com and an avid reader of self help books--I wish I had read such a book 10 years ago. David sifted through the rough to find you the diamonds. This is a super great self-help reference that is a must for anyone who has even a slight interest in self-growth. Highly recommended!
