Self-Help PDF Books
Self-help books can be a valuable resource for personal growth, mental health, and overall wellbeing. Whether you're looking for guidance on overcoming challenges, improving your mindset, or developing new habits, the right book can provide insight and motivation.
Drawing from my own experience in mental health advocacy, coaching, and counseling, I’ve created resources that can truly make a difference. No matter where you are on your journey, these books can serve as tools to help you navigate life’s struggles and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling future.
In this post you will find a collection of Self-Help PDF books as well as other free resources to help you go from surviving to thriving.
Why free?
I moved out of home at 16, escaping a challenging childhood and traumatic living conditions. Back then I didn’t have the money for coaches, courses, or self-help books. I couldn’t afford the knowledge I needed to pull myself up. The availability of professional services was woefully inadequate and charity could only offer limited support.
But I did whatever I could to survive, heal, and ultimately thrive. I pledged that I would write the books and create the resources that I desperately needed but was unable to find or afford and give them away for free as self-help PDF books.
How To Get Your Sh!t Together (PDF download) is the cumulation of this effort. I encourage you to start there. But I also encourage you to scroll and check out all of the free self-help PDF books I have on offer.
They will help you.

Under The Influence: Reclaiming My Childhood
This is the story of my childhood.
It provides an insight into the reality of being the son of an addict, paranoid schizophrenic, chronic hoarder and drug dealer.
For as long as I knew him, my dad dealt. Every day, a procession of desperate, malnourished and volatile addicts would visit our house looking to score. From a child’s perspective, they seemed to have only one goal - acquiring their next high. Growing up in this environment had a profound impact on my life and world view.
