Salute, carders, today we have a selection of books for your self-development, and improving SE.

1. Alex Novak – "The Book That Doesn't Exist"
If you have 20 minutes a day, this book will change your life in a week.

Who should read "The Book That Doesn't Exist"?
1. Looking for yourself;
2. Living on autopilot;
3. Having a long-standing unrealized dream;
4. Putting off important things "for later";
5. Adherents of systemic self-development.

What's in the book?
This work is, in fact, a "toolbox" for managing your own life.
You receive them and start taking REAL steps to set bright goals and (most importantly) make them come true.
The book contains a lot of examples, a lot of theory and clear recommendations for practical implementation. The book is written in a simple and understandable language, without "tricky" turns and excessive cumbersome terminology.
Why do I need to find/download/buy a book?
Appearing on the web in December 2014, the work produced the effect of an exploding bomb. In less than a month and a half after that, users viewed a total of more than 100,000 pages on the author's site. "The Book that Doesn't Exist" caused a storm of controversy, hit all sorts of charts and was eventually noticed by publishers.
The author (Alex Novak) received an offer to publish a paper version of the book. The contract with the publishing house "Peter" was signed in February of this year.
The Book that Doesn't Exist will appear on the shelves of stores at the end of April 2015, and then everyone will know about it.

2. Nick Vujicic – "Life without Borders"
Nick Vujicic was born without arms or legs, but he is quite independent and lives a full and rich life: he received two higher educations, independently types on a computer at a speed of 43 words per minute, surfs, enjoys fishing, swims and even dives from a springboard into the water.
His book is an inspiring, emotional story about how to overcome difficulties, despair, believe in yourself and become happy.
Nick openly talks about his physical problems and experiences, about how it was not easy for him to come to terms with his condition - there was a moment when he wanted to commit suicide.
It took him many years to learn to see his problems not as an obstacle, but as an opportunity for growth, to set big goals for himself and always achieve what he wanted.
Without arms or legs, he learned to climb in every sense of the word.
In his book, Nick formulated the rules of life that helped him, and now he shares them with readers.

3. Yitzhak Pintosevich – "Live!"
This book is a synthesis of the latest discoveries in the field of medicine, physiology, psychology and secrets of training Olympic athletes.
Its author Yitzhak Pintosevich, a former world-class professional athlete, coach, and businessman, created a unique program for busy people who spend most of their time at work, strive to achieve important goals for themselves and do not want to change their schedule. The goal of the program is to save them from "breakdowns", depression and diseases.
Thanks to it, you can quickly increase your energy level, improve your health and achieve the highest level of personal productivity in life.

4. Igor Mann - "Number 1"
There is a well-known exercise: "Who I see myself in five years", which well reflects the level of ambition of a person.
Often people give the answer "I want to be number 1, the main authority in the industry", but few people really do something to achieve the chosen goal, especially in the agreed time frame.
And only the actions taken (and their results) give an idea of the real scale of the individual.
And "make yourself" is not easy: too much affects the result.
There are no unimportant details here. As in everything, you need to act systematically.
This book offers just such a plan, a checklist, which is easy to modify for you personally. After reading and filling out special tables (a cross-section of strengths and weaknesses, determining priorities, ways to develop key skills, changing your image, and methods of promoting yourself), you will get a step-by-step algorithm for how to get from the point where you are now to the point where you want to be.

5. Josh Weitzkin – "The Art of Learning"
This is the autobiography of Joshua Weitzkin, who won his first national chess championship at age 9 and became a world champion in the martial art of Tai chi at age 28.
How did he manage to achieve such a result in completely different sports disciplines?
Joshua himself doesn't think he's the best at chess or the best at Tai chi.
He says: "I'm the best at learning."
In this book, he shares his story and learning principles that helped him reach the top twice.
This is not only the story of an outstanding person, but also proof that any victories and achievements-up to the championship level — are achieved thanks to the right lifestyle, correct habits and psychological attitudes, and not innate talents.

6. Vadim Zeland - "Hacking the technogenic system"
If you don't have any special qualities and talents, then you have no other way but to step out of the general system and allow yourself to become unique.
With the liberation technique presented in this book, you can create any world for yourself.
The power of your intellect and creativity will rise to the level of a genius.
You won't have any problems achieving your goals.
You will see reality in an unfamiliar guise, as it really is.
If you have a cherished dream, if your goal is difficult to achieve, if many people want the same thing as you, if you have to stand in a long queue for your dream…
You should know that you have a special, unique chance. A chance to gain an advantage that others don't have.
A chance to crack the matrix and break free.
You should at least know that this is possible.

7. Tom Peters - "Imagine"
Best-selling global author, master of new approaches to doing business, and management guru Tom Peters is back with a wonderful new book about the new order of the modern business world. Written in an inimitable style, designed to express the author's new philosophy more clearly, Re-imagine! encourages us to take action.
