    hi i generally happy but there are a few things in my life that I would like to change; I have been thinking about these changes and how to make them happen for 3 years now but I never actually do anything to change.

    Can someone recommend a book i could read that could perhaps help me? There is a mind field of self help books out there but i don't wanna get bogged down reading crap.

    I need to be able to focus on the bigger picture - rather than the moment.. to achieve what I want to. And this is an issue in a number of things in my life.

    so words like, motivation, change, self control, discipline, focus, achievement, goals,.. they might help one to recognise a book

    thanks in advance

    I think you would definitely enjoy the works of Seneca. There are quite a few compilations of his writings available but my favourite has always been his "Letter to Paulinus". Perhaps most intersting is that the writings of the Stoics underpin much of the philosophy of modern day CBT; Albert Ellis was heavily influenced by them.

    thanks for that - will look it up...

    ...and I've always found James Altucher an inspiration when I need to get things moving!
