The Top 10 self-help books
continued from page 3
Networking - The Art of Making Friends
Carole Stone is a legend in her own time - and a very nice woman too. Her book explains how to network - for friendship, business and profit. She also tells you how to cope with problems - when you're snubbed, when you get networking wrong, when you need to let friends go gracefully. The text is bouncily written, full of pointed anecdotes from Carole's own experience. And her approach works - her Christmas parties, held in the huge Queen Elizabeth Hall in Central London, always consist of well over 1,000 of Carole's closest friends.
Networking - The Art of Making Friends by Carole Stone (Vermilion, £7.99)
If We're So In Love, Why Aren't We Happy?
This is a new book that is sure to stir up a storm. It follows the basic principle that if you have a problem in your relationship, then all the self-help exercises in the world won't help until you start being nice to your partner. And you have to start being nice to your partner whether or not your partner is being nice to you. I've included this book not because I think everything in it makes sense - the author's terminology is far too spiritual for me - but because it addresses a very real issue: that all too often we try to use self-help methods as a weapon with which to nag and blame our partners and our partnerships into submission.
If We're So In Love, Why Aren't We Happy? by Susan Page (Piatkus, £10.99)
What To Do When You Really Want To Help But Don't Know How
I debated long and hard about whether to include one of my own books in a personal top ten but then if I don't like my own books, I shouldn't be writing them, should I? This is among my favourites, not least because it was written with The Samaritans for those people helping family, friends or relatives, or working in the caring professions. The book's short, with lots of illustrations showing you how to support another person, what to say, what not to say, what to do and what not to do. If you really want to help, this book will show you how.
What To Do When You Really Want To Help But Don't Know How by Susan Quilliam (Transformation Press, £5.99). Place a credit card order by ringing Vine House Distribution on 01825 723398.
