By teaching better ways to use your computer, recommending new software tools that make your life easier, or suggesting ways to improve your personal mindset or lifestyle, this blog was all about improvement: personal improvement and technological one alike. This is why, although self-promotional, I won’t shy away from recommending you my latest creation:
The Self Help Classics iPhone E-book collection
Created using my own personal iPhone ebook software (TouchBooksReader), this unique ebook app collects the major classic masterpieces in the fields of Self Help, Personal Improvement or Productivity and delivers them to you in a low-price high quality iPhone and iPad ebook app format.
So far, Self Help Classics contains over 27 volumes, including:
- Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill – the biggest seller of Hill’s books, selling over 20 million copies worldwide, and probably the most successful motivational book in history
- The Art of Public Speaking by Dale Carnegie and Joseph Berg Esenwein – a best-seller in all its re-editions, since 1915 to the present. Learn how to talk to conferences, how to sustain presentations and to become a captivating and charismatic speaker.
- The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles – has been cited by the author of the bestselling The Secret as a primary source
- The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel – developer of the Law of Attraction theory, which has been acknowledged as one of the primary sources for The Secret.
- Benjamin Franklin‘s The Way to Wealth – a famous essay written in 1758 for the Poor Richard’s Almanac
- Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell – originated as a speech, one of the most successful in its times, delivered over 6,000 times around the world. It became a short book the success of which financed the creation of Temple University
And here comes the fun and really interesting part:
- there’s a SPECIAL SALE for the first few days of the app launch: $0.99 instead of the regular $2.99! Don’t miss it, it’s a limited time offer!
- In the following free updates I’ll be adding to this impressive pack other classics about success, self improvement, wealth, business or entrepreneurship. This is where you can join in: either by using the TouchBooksReader contact form or by leaving a comment below, you can suggest any number of major works to be included in the Self Help Classics collection. The one criterion is that you recommend real classics – we only want to publish great classic works that stood the test of time.
The authors of the first 5 comments will automatically get free promotional codes for downloading Self Help Classics on their iPhone/iPod Touch.
The best 5 suggestions will receive promo codes for both Self Help Classics and the fairy tales ebook Wonderful Stories Collection.
Even if you don’t have a iPhone / iPod Touch, you can still join in the discussion and share your ideas.
- Also, promotional free access codes will also be given to the first 10 bloggers who blog about Self Help Classics (at their choice, one promotional code for any of my iPhone ebook apps)!
What do you say? Care for a comment or suggestion?
Update:
It just came to my attention that the aforementioned promotional codes only work in the US version of the AppStore. Sorry to my non-US readers out there.

What a great offer, and what a great concept. I look forward to using your collection, and to seeing what books you add to it. There are some great titles here.
I’d also recommend Susan Jeffers’ “Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway” and “Feeling Good” by Dr. David Burns. They fall under the psychological purview rather than the financial, but they’re great self-help books nonetheless, and recognized by many as classics.
Another classic is Dale Carnegie “How to win friends and Influence people.” I have read a lot of self help books and still find that his is one of the best. And if your into metaphysical stuff, Rays of the Dawn by Dr. Thurman Fleet, is a amazing : )
I totally agree, “How to win friends” is a great book. Unfortunately, it isn’t likely to be added to the SHC collection, because of strict copyright reasons. But, who knows, maybe we’ll get to see it published as a separate ebook on the AppStore.
Where did this app go!?
Thanks for this post, it’s useful for me
