Ancient Greece and Rome were cultures where Self Help Books were written by what we today refer to as Philosophers. Philosophy has a long and rich history, from ancient times to the present, and covers diverse topics such as ethics, logic, metaphysics, epistemology, politics, and general advice on living your best life.
Those early authors were focused on offering their readers and audiences educational enlightenment. Those experts that did this well are still well known today. Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Parmenides, and others are credited for shaping Western thought with their logic, reason, and focus of inquiry.
These authors aimed to explore happiness and well-being and find the highest aim of moral thought and conduct. The students of these early self-help philosophers were shown the path to improve aspects of their lives. The information was inspiring and proved to be valuable.
Everyone has areas of their lives where they would like to improve and skills they would like to learn. A self-help book can be just a beginning, a step in continuous learning resulting in improved self-reliance and mental attitude, encouraging you to do better and helping you interpret your life meaning.
