By creating a list of those landmark or representative titles, then providing commentaries that note the key points and assess the importance of each work, you will learn about valuable books you may otherwise have never discovered.

Referring to his earlier work on the personal development literature, Butler-Bowdon was described by USA Today as "a true scholar of this type of literature". [3] His 50 Self-Help Classics won the 2004 Benjamin Franklin Award (US) for the Psychology/Self-Help category. [4]
