Popular Self-Help Audio Programs



Anthony Robbins

I have walked on fire with Anthony Robbins!
His work is among the clearest, most powerful, transformational
programming available. Anthony is an expert in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming),
and he delivers complex ideas in ways that the average person can understand
and put into practice. You can't help but be inspired by his unbridled
energy and enthusiasm!

Brian Tracy

I've been listening to Brian Tracy's audio books for over 15 years.
He is one of the most prolific writers and provides an amazing
service for anyone who wants to break free from limiting beliefs and
achieve their goals. His ideas will inspire you, encourage you,
motivate you, and help you create a strategy for success.

Deepak Chopra

Deepak has received quite a bit of fame
over the last several years. His ideas are
profound, and if you haven't read any of his
works I recommend selecting one of the
following and rounding out your knowledge
base with his principles.

Training the Mind, Healing the Body

Dr. Joan Borysenko

Dr. Borysenko's classic program,
The Power of the Mind to Heal,
was a pioneering work in the field of mind-body
medicine. Although her delivery is slightly "sing-song,"
this is an excellent program, and once again
I recommend it to round out your knowledge base.

The Power of the Mind to Heal

Dr. Joel & Michelle Levey

We had the honor and privilege of hosting Dr. Joel

                                    Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen

Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen are the famous

authors of "Chicken Soup for the Soul." Each have written

many other fantastic books individually. I found

The Alladin Factor with Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen

                                    to be a fun audio book with lots of great inspiration and ideas.

The Alladin Factor

Jay Abraham

I've listened to Jay being interviewed by Anthony Robbins.

What a remarkable man with an amazing perspective and a

"no limit" attitude. He is amazingly resourceful and truly

inspirational. Personally, I have found the Mastermind principle

to be very effective and I am currently a participant in a Mastermind group.

Les Brown

One of the most inspiring motivational speakers

I've ever heard - Les Brown is genuine, enthusiastic,

and down-to-earth. I love his stories - and I

think you will too. He's filled with passion

and purpose and will inspire you to be your best.

Marianne Williamson

What can I say about Marianne Williamson?

Strong convictions, passionate purpose,

wise spirit. I am moved by her poetic,

prayerful prose. She is illumined by her

connection with a Higher Power, and her passion can ignite a fire in you too!

The Ten Bridges of Transformation

Michael Gerber

I thought the E-Myth was going to be a dry business book.

Was I mistaken! I was amazed to discover Michael Gerber's

deep, spiritual wisdom and warm, compassionate energy.

The E-Myth brings a sense of purpose and order and vision

to the business process. A MUST for small business owners.

Napoleon Hill

This is a classic program - what a truly amazing experience

to hear it in the author's own voice. Times have changed,

our way of speaking has changed, but some things remain constant.

Napoleon Hill's words formed the foundation upon which

many modern authors have based their work. Worth listening!

Think and Grow Rich

The Science of Personal Achievement

Paul Pearsall, Ph.D.

Paul Pearsall's work is truly refreshing. Where many authors

encourage us to push, strive, work, work, work to achieve our goals,

Paul Pearsall reminds us of our essential need for pleasure and balance.

He has amazing academic credentials, and as a Hawaiian he has

spent time studying with Hawaiian shamans, which brings an alternative perspective.

Recommended audio programs by Paul Pearsall, PhD

The Pleasure Principle

The Secret to Invincibility

Robert Allen

Robert Allen is another amazing inspiration. I enjoyed

his book "Cracking the Millionaire Code," co-authored with

Mark Victor Hansen. It features a concept he calls "Enlightened

Wealth," which includes giving back to the world in a big way.

He offers lots of free information on his website, and his

programs are chock full of ideas to help you reach your financial goals.

Robert Kiyosaki

Robert is another example of a successful person who knows

that your beliefs are your reality, and to change your reality, you must begin

by changing your beliefs. His Rich Dad series of books explain in detail how to

shift your consciousness and open your mind to the possibility of financial freedom.

The Rich Dad mission is "elevating the financial well-being of humanity."

A noble mission, especially relevant now.

Sir John Templeton

Here is a man whose wisdom spans the test of time.

His principles of inner wealth are based on a strong set of

core values. No wonder he has achieved such an amazing

level of respect and admiration in his lifetime. His foundation

continues to help others create a better future. Learn from

the best - I really enjoyed his program.

Recommended program by Sir John Templeton

Laws of Inner Wealth

Stuart Wilde

This man is unlike no other I've ever studied with.

I've read nearly every one of his books, listened to nearly

every audio program he's produced, and I had the privilege of

attending one of his five-day intensives about 14 years ago.

He is noble, unconventional, slightly irreverent, and visionary.

His ideas may challenge your ways of thinking, but they can

        help you awaken to a deep power within you. Stuart's work may not be for everyone,

        but I am very grateful to have found him and would welcome the opportunity to study with him again.

Terri Lonier, Gail Blanke, William Bridges, Guy Kawasaki, Daniel H. Pink

"You, Inc." is a fun audio program by the above authors, each sharing some of

their own wisdom and experience. In a nutshell, this program reminds us

to be aware of our own image, and how we can consciously communicate

who we are to the world - both in business and in life.

You, Inc.

The Dale Carnegie Organization

When I first heard of the Dale Carnegie courses, I mistakenly

assumed they were phony, manipulative sales training programs.

Was I wrong! Everything Dale Carnegie teaches revolves

around integrity, caring for others, and positive principles.

These are classic lessons that bear repeating - for all of us,

no matter how much we know!

Wayne Dyer

I read my first Wayne Dyer book when I was just 14.

Needless to say, it not only changed my life, but launched me

toward a career of helping others use the power of their mind

to achieve their dreams. Wayne weaves stories and inspiration

in every one of his books, and through his ever evolving

wisdom, lifts his readers to a new place in consciousness.
