Self-Help was the book category from my November best books on Amazon list. These Amazon books online include 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works and How to Stop Worrying and Start Living.
10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works is the book I liked the best. However, I actually put into practice principles from How to Stop Worrying and Start Living first. So, this book has been most useful recently. In addition to these books, you can find all of the books I’ve reviewed here.

Best Credit Cards to Use to Buy Books on Amazon
Generally speaking, the Citi Double Cash and the AmEx Blue Business Plus can be ideal cards to use for books on Amazon Prime purchases. However, this post highlights spending bonuses to take advantage of when buying books on Amazon.
Personally, I’m earning 8x Amex points with the Amex Blue Business Plus related to recent Amex Offers. In addition, my Amex Marriott Bonvoy earns 8x points for Amazon purchases. Separately, my World of Hyatt credit card earns 5x points on Amazon. In short, the card to use for your books on Amazon purchases depends upon the points you want to earn.

10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works
Dan Harris, ABC journalist and weekend anchor of Good Morning America had a nationally televised panic attack. The voice in his head had turned against him. So, Harris did what I would do. He tried to find solutions through pastors, self-help gurus, and scientists. In the end, Harris found meditation was the tool he could use to rewire his brain and become more effective. This is what I’ve found since I started meditating this year. It’s not for everyone but meditation has made me more calm and sharp in my work.

How to Stop Worrying and Start Living
How to Win Friends and Influence People was the first Dale Carnegie book I read about 10 years ago. In How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, Carnegie gives readers a set of formulas you can use to stop worrying. Formulas including 1) how to eliminate 50% of business worries immediately, 2) how to reduce financial worries, and 3) how to avoid fatigue. Recent life events allowed me to put the formulas from this book into practice immediately.
