Self development books?

[opethdisciple]

Looking for Christmas present for my dad.

He reads a lot and reads a lot of these types of books but he's library is very old.

Does any one have any good recommendations for such type books?

Thanks

Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. Metaphorical and perfect.

Get him Tools of Titans by Tim Ferris, it kind of covers everything and is easy to read. It's divided up in three parts that are Health, wealth, wise and it's a collection of the standout things that succesful people shared with Tim on his podcast. He'll probably want to go on an ayahuasca retreat by the end of it

What about Stoicism? Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is an easy yet insightful read

It might be better to get them a sub to blinklist…

I'd definitely be looking at something else tbh.

The Winners Bible - if he likes science-based self-help books.

@Tuppy_Glossop and @p1RATE

Good suggestions.

I was going to get:

The 7 habits of highly effective people and Atomic Habits.

The one about the Seagull I think he would like as he is all about hes metaphors.

He's read that one already.

Both good books, there's an episode of 'If books could kill' that covers atomic habits you could share with him after. It does tear it apart a bit for being a bit simplistic. He'll probably enjoy that podcast overall as it criticizes popular self help books and gives a different perspective. It's also a quick way to get a summary of a book you've likely heard of and never read, for example they did an entertaining breakdown of 'the game' by Neil Strauss

Atomic Habits.

I'd recommend that book. It's really good.

Have you considered something interesting for him? What are his interests? You can beat a good coffee table book, I've got loads, with Sled Driver being the best.
