Self-help books

Hey guys,
I am in need of an inspirational read. I heard Jane Mcdonald say she uses a self-help book which helped her though a tough time in her life and still uses this book whenever she needs a pick me up. Unfortunately she did not give away the title of the book.
Just wondering if anyone out there has used one? did it help you? or just to recommend one would be useful.
Thanks for all the help

To be honest one that covers a number of topics would be good. Such as confidence, relationships, work and generally helping to figure out what you want to do.
Sorry it's a bit vague. I am in a loving relationship but have general confidence issues. I am stuck in a job I hate but have no idea what I want to do with my life.
Just need some inspiration and then can start focusing on the bits I want to change in my life. Thought a self-help book my be a good starting point.

You don't have to buy his book; he has a blog, a facebook page and lots of video clips which may inspire you, so there's plenty of material to sample. For a bit of background, he went from being a corporate lawyer to an amateur jockey within a year because someone bet him a £1 that he couldn't.
Getting a self help book is really an act of laziness in itself, because you're looking to an external force for motivation and motivation doesn't work that way. The only way to get motivated is to start doing things, then look at what you are achieving.
