 Buy the Real Things ( tdavis2379 )
If you're an avid reader of Reader's Digest Condensed Books, you might like this collection. Otherwise, go to your library's self-help section and check out the real things for a better taste of each book before buying them. With 50 Self-Help Classics you're getting the author's take on each publication and so you have to remember that his opinion is prevelant throughout each chapter. Having studied some of these texts in grad school, I found some of his opinions (although valid) lacked depth and understanding. It's easy to tell which books are his favorites and which ones he added just to come up to a total of 50.

 Speed it up abit please ( lloyd1756 )
I bought this to listen to while commuting to work. I think it was a good choice and has been much more informative than listening to music or the radio. The content is good but the narration is mediocre with too many long pauses at inappropriate times. I tended to drift off the subject during his pregnant pauses.

 An Excellent Inspirational Book
I picked up this book by chance from a public library. Butler-Bowden did an excellent job of summarizing the works of some of my favorite famous authors. I enjoyed using it so much that I decided to get my own copy. Incidentally, it was not available in the main bookstores.

 Good intro to the library of books but missing something ( nomorebs )
This is worth reading if you are into the classics of self help but its a little light on real content. Not sure what I expected but while it is okay I struggled a bit with it. On the plus side it has many classics I have never read but only heard of and that is good. It is an easy read in that it is small chapters and you can read one in your spare time and stay motivated. Worth the price of admission.

This fricken guy right here
Tom Butler Bowdon, I mean just look at his book jacket photo, this guy has surely helped himself.
Like marijuana, this book is the gateway to personal development. Read the chapters, and find chapters about books you like, then read those books. He also gives you a mini book report with each chapter, which surprisingly has enough meat packed into the 6 or so pages per chapter.
Another great book is 50 success classics. I have that one on audio tape, because the letters confuse me.
