The book is small, but that's not a bad thing. We are seeing authors skip the fluff and get straight to the meat more and more, and Jones does exactly that! This book is packed with interesting points that will bring new ideas to your perspective.

Editorial Review

"A thoughtful and timely reminder that the roots of personal growth run deeper than we think."

In Philosophers Are Self-Help Authors, Brent M. Jones invites readers on a journey that bridges the ancient and the modern, showing how the wisdom of historical thinkers continues to shape the way we pursue purpose, clarity, and emotional resilience today. Rather than offering trendy tips or empty affirmations, Jones draws from the Stoics, virtue ethics, and other classical traditions to uncover the original intent behind what we now call "self-help."

This book is concise yet impactful—stripped of filler and rich in insight. With references to both timeless philosophy and modern-day challenges, Jones challenges readers to reflect more deeply, think more clearly, and live more intentionally.
For anyone seeking meaningful change grounded in enduring truths, Philosophers Are Self-Help Authors is a refreshing and intelligent guide.
