- 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
SELF HELP books that are SELF PUBLISHED
That are all uniquely practical and pragmatic aids AND can be customised to be even more relevant and applicable - for RESULTS
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 ACTION PLANS !
The contents are either Rick’s original thoughts based on his experience, or his interpretations of others’ work (case studies) 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 - at work obviously, but also social, family, etc - work life balance and fulfilment. Any individual can use any book any way they like AND groups of people can use any of the books to help each other and their TEAM. Please note: all are “WORK books”, so always have a pencil (and eraser) to hand to complete questionnaires, make notes, plan actions, etc. Some of these we class as “EXTRAS” which as well being in the script of the book, can be purchased in packs for use and reuse and or sharing.
because books are SELF published, for a one-off fee of £500, Rick can CUSTOMISE them for clients. The fee includes:
-
sending you two copies of the book you want to customise; plus two copies of THINK ABOUT IT!
-
ask you to complete a questionnaire about you business / situation, team - background
-
ask you to think about which objectives and goals you hope could be achieved or contributed to by using the book
-
ask your ideas on HOW to enhance the book - challenges, new goals, change, motivation, specific problems (or customers or politicians!) - anything
-
discuss with you how Rick would recommend editing the books and then source 3 or 4 proof copies and send 2 or 3 of these to you
-
AGREE the final version and get them published (but only 1 or 2 initially for absolute certainty!)
-
offer you indefinite assistance and back up - at least until Rick's semi retirement becomes complete and his “legacy” has to stand alone without him!
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.
Using the Books
All are self HELP books - conceived to help anyone become BETTER - and not only at work, but also in social, community and family situations.
Then, after boosting Self Knowledge of your ambitions, comfort zone and insight into others' personalities (your empathy) by studying THINK ABOUT IT! follow the links above to find out more about each book (and maybe kill any assumptions you are making based on the titles!)
"Trust and believe others ALL THE TIME - life is much more relaxing and fulfilling than being paranoid!" - THINK ABOUT that! (Epigram 59)
