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 book collection follows the same basic idea of the famous Classics.app of Andrew Kaz and Phill Ryu : a hand-picked bookshelf of major classic masterpieces in the fields of Self Help, Personal Improvement or Productivity.


So far, Self Help Classics contains:

• 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:

1. 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!
