- for new, unique, FUN and extraordinarily effective self help resources!
Self Help Books by Rick Whitehead
“SELF Help” accepting the RESPONSIBILITY for self-development - including acquiring resources
“Mindfulness” - the first step to self help must be learning ABOUT yourself - HOW you can improve
ALL Rick's Self Help books are sprinkled liberally with pro-formas, questionnaires and other aids to help readers THINK - about how the principles could apply to them, how they would rate themselves and and how they could transform their insights into an Action Plan.
The contents are either Rick’s original thoughts based on his experience, or his interpretations of others’ work applied in a current zeitgeist and workplace. Therefore he is happy to answer queries and offer advice to help readers with their self help!
All books are designed to help readers boost their performance and RESULTS in any whatever they are doing - work obviously, but also social, family, etc - work life balance and fulfilment. Any individual can use any book any way they like! AND, applying the principles of one epigram in THINK ABOUT IT, “two heads ARE better than one - IF they have SHARED objectives”, groups of people in the same workplace can use any of the books to help each other and their TEAM.
NB: All books are “workbooks”, so always have a pencil (and eraser!) to hand to complete questionnaires, make notes, plan actions, etc. Some of these we class as “EXTRAS” (below) which as well being in the script of the book, can be purchased in packs for use and reuse and or sharing.

All books can be used for both SELF Help and “Group Therapy” (see D.I.Y. KITS for TEAMS)
Choosing a Book
All have been written/updated between 2021 and 2026 and take into account the “post pandemic”, “populist”, “woke” and “rush to AI” zeitgeists of this period! None are text books or "academic". Rick is a pragmatist and cynic, with a sense of humour, rather than a theorist who knows he's always right!
Though peoples' priorities will vary, ALL should first read THINK ABOUT IT! Be honest with yourself about what you like/dislike; what (who) you fear; what you want from your job and your life.
