Someone who has learned from dramatic, positive change in their life and uses this experience to help others is considered a ‘self-help guru’. They provide advice and insight into challenges many people face to help them understand life-changing experiences they are facing.

We all like to know that someone understands us, and a self-help guru can understand what you’re going through and guide you along the way.

Here are our top 3 self-help gurus who we believe can help you live your best life…

Susan Jeffers

Number one has to be Susan Jeffers, who in her time as a self-help guru, changed the way millions of women live their lives by promising we could take control of our destinies.

After 16 years with her husband, she left him and began to go through the biggest change in her life which led to a journey of self-discovery and more importantly, self-help.

Susan Jeffers takes a different approach to the typical ‘positive thinking’ approach. She suggests that we cannot keep trying to attain a perfect mental state, and rather accept that the control we have over our emotions is limited. Sometimes it is best to let go rather than hold on to the unknown.

Susan believes that actions come before we achieve the positive emotions; we do not always have to feel motivated before we take action.

She goes into her profound message in detail in her best-selling book ‘Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway’.

Sonja Lyubomirsky

Sonja believes that our happiness is determined by our genetics, circumstances, and the activities we carry out.

She believes that happiness can be gained from…

- Dedicating time to recall moments of gratitude

- Thinking positively about oneself

- Writing affirmations

- Savouring positive memories

- Practising kindness

We love positive affirmations – an easy way to gain a positive mindset and attitude to everyday life! Lately, more and more of us have been practising affirmations and gratitude.

Sherry Argov

Sherry Argov is best known for her relationship self-help book, ‘Why Men Love Bitches’. In this book of self-help, Sherry outlines the ways to have a successful relationship as a woman.

While it has been over 15 years since the release of the book, its message is still prominent today with Sherry Argov providing strong guidance for women in relationships.

She redefined the meaning behind the word ‘bitch’, encouraging women to see it as someone with self-confidence who doesn’t waste their time worrying about what others think.

The most important message Sherry conveys is that it is so important to maintain your own identity and always put yourself first.

Sherry Argov is an amazing self-help motivator as she encourages women to be independent thinkers who can never be defined in a limitating way.

If you are feeling lost or unsure how to make the changes you want in life, self-help motivators can empower you and ignite feelings of motivation to achieve our goals, while simplifying the steps necessary to make changes in our lives.
