I've read all of those except for "Accelerated Learning" and "7 Habits for Highly Effective Teens", which is just a toned down version of 7 Habits for Highly Effective People. Of the ones I did read, none of them helped me do anything. My favorite self-help item is a book called "Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life". I got it in audiobook format. I listen to it as I work out, and working out suddenly gets much more enjoyable. The speaker makes the audiobook even more enjoyable; I'm literally laughing at loud at some points.

This guy isn't nice, and he doesn't give you the usual motivational rah-rah. He even calls himself an irritational speaker. He makes you angry at what you've been doing and spurs you to action.

Check it out.
