The best books to read for self-improvement

by Akhona Ndlela
PICTURE: PEXELS/ READING

Even the most basic activities, like taking up a book, might occasionally feel like a difficult task to do because of various reasons, making the pursuit of success even more out of reach.

Our phones ping, our schedules get busy, and all of a sudden, reading a book feels like an unaffordable luxury in our world of distractions. However, what if the secret to our development – both personally and professionally, lies in doing just that, moving away from the commotion and exposing ourselves to fresh viewpoints?

Individuals who take on the challenge of expanding their knowledge will stand out in a world where success is most of the time linked to flexibility and creativity. Diversity of opinion is a powerful tool, and we enhance our communication and problem-solving skills by embracing the knowledge gained from each book we read.

Here is a list of books recommended for you.

The Alchemy of Despair by Vangile Makwakwa
