No, the Bible is not a self-help book in its original intent. But, it is the best primer on how to conduct yourself, treat other people, and stay humble.

Now, I welcome your verses taken out of context to try and denounce my statements.

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.

Ezekiel 23:20-21

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl

Probably one of the best books I've ever read. It's a quick read and gives a great perspective on life from someone who went through arguably the greatest atrocities committed by mankind.

That's a good one but I figured most would go to Song of Solomon first.

And I will add 7-Habits. The lesson on circles of concern, influence, and control is the best lesson in life on how to focus one's energy and time. I use it on my staff just about every week.



This. That takeaway is worth it if you can get people to focus on it.

Tim Ferris is excellent. I haven't read all of his books, but much of his writings and podcasts are great.
