In a world that often associates self-help books with fixing something broken, let’s debunk the myth that embracing self-help means admitting to any shortcomings. Learning and evolving shouldn’t be reserved for business strategies alone. If we can educate ourselves about entrepreneurship, business management, or marketing, why not explore avenues that enhance kindness, parenting skills, and self-awareness?

These literary companions became my mentors, teaching me how to gracefully dismantle the ego, navigate the labyrinth of emotions, discover the essence of who I am, and even gain insights into the intricate art of parenting. Who knew a paperback could be such a versatile sidekick?
