Ancient Greece and Rome, cultures that birthed what we now call Self Help Books, were home to Philosophers who penned wisdom that transcends time. Philosophy, with its long and diverse history, from ancient times to the present, covers  topics such as ethics, logic, metaphysics, epistemology, politics, and general advice on living your best life, offering a timeless guide to self-improvement.

Early authors focused on offering their readers and audiences educational enlightenment. Those experts who did this well 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 shown the path to improve aspects of their lives. The information was inspiring and proved to be valuable.
