Why Philosophers are Self-Help Authors   →

September 16, 2023 Brent Jones

Ancient Greek and Roman cultures, the cradle of what we now call Self-Help Books, were also the birthplace of philosophers whose wisdom transcends time. Their enduring influence, from ancient times to the present, is a testament to the rich historical tradition that we are all connected to. Their diverse topics , such as ethics, logic, metaphysics, epistemology, politics, and general advice on living your best life, continue to inspire and guide us today.

Early authors focused on offering their readers and audiences educational enlightenment. Those experts who did this are still well known today. Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Parmenides, and others are credited with 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 not just inspired, but also shown practical paths to improve aspects of their lives. The advice they offered was not just theoretical, but also proved to be valuable, empowering us with the capability for self-improvement.

Everyone has areas of their lives where they would like to improve and skills they would like to learn. A self-help book is not just a beginning but a commitment to continuous learning that results in enhanced self-reliance and a more positive mental attitude. It can encourage you to improve and help you interpret your life’s meaning. We all have areas we wish to enhance and skills we aspire to acquire. A self-help book is the catalyst, the first step in a continuous learning journey, leading to enhanced self-reliance and a more positive mental attitude. It can ignite a desire to strive for better and provide a lens to interpret the meaning of our lives.

The early Philosophers and today's self-help authors have written about self-improvement, personal growth, personal development, personal fulfillment, self-guided improvement, informal psychotherapy, personal empowerment, self-advancement, self-empowerment, and more. Both sets of writings focus on self-improvement, personal growth, development, fulfillment, and empowerment, forming a continuous narrative of human aspiration that we are all part of.

Early authors were dedicated to offering their readers and audiences educational enlightenment. The experts who excelled in this, such as Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Parmenides, and others, are still revered today for shaping Western thought with their logic, reason, and focus on inquiry. Their enduring influence, from ancient times to the present, is a testament to the timelessness of their wisdom and its continued relevance in modern times. 

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 a beginning or a step in continuous learning. Still, it results in enhanced self-reliance, a more challenging mental attitude, encouragement to improve, and helps you interpret your life.
