Self-help topics that can inspire your next book

You might be having a teeny tiny idea of writing your own book someday. Waiting for the right time which never comes? Coming up with an idea for your book could be challenging and difficult initially. The idea might be one thing and the endeavor could be another. Especially, when the thought of putting your work out there could be scary and intimidating at first, as a newbie. But everyone has to start somewhere. Not everyone can be a born novelist. So why not try your hand at nonfiction. It could provide an easy start for your career as a writer. To get you started, here are a few self-help topics that can be used as inspiration for writing a book.

Financial independence

Becoming financially independent has always been a dream of many, myself included. Everyone wants to own their dream car, home, and live their dream life without worrying about their future for the rest of their lives. By reading newspapers, blogs, and articles about money handling and finances, you can pitch an overall idea for a book by including some money-saving tips, how to make money online, the best ways to invest, owning assets that make money etc. Who knows this could be your niche.

Happiness

Trying to be happy in life is different from actually being happy. Most of the time if someone feels happy, it is mostly because of materialistic things. If one is said to be truly happy, they have to feel it from the inside and the reason should be anything but worldly. Even though happiness is an individual’s decision, as a step towards self-love, you can help others find inner peace, if you are all about finding true happiness. This could become your thing.

Motivation

Having the motivation to achieve one’s goal in life could be quite hard. Staying motivated always is the driving factor to overcome our obstacles in life. It allows us to change our way of behaving, thinking, and feeling. If you have the internal drive to make your mark in life, then why not start a book by penning down your thoughts on why it is important to stay motivated, how being motivated could change your life, and add a few learnings from your life.

Communication

An effective way of communication is very important in every facet of life. If you are able to think but unable to voice your thoughts properly, then it is a downside for you. Thus, it is a vital skill required by everyone on a daily basis. Being good at communicating with others could be your thing. So, why not share your thoughts on how to hold a proper conversation in different environments, effective communication techniques you may use, etc. via a book of your own?

Relationships

Being in a healthy relationship with oneself and others is necessary for life. It takes a lot of work, time, and trust to be in a happy relationship with someone. Having such a relationship also gives a sense of purpose and belonging. Relationship falls under a personal development niche that everyone is constantly working on. While writing about relationships you can go far and wide and can cover a lot of sub-topics including marriage, parenting, and friendship taking inspiration from your life.

Procrastination

We all are victims of procrastination in one way or the other. If we had done all the things that we thought of doing, then we would be in a much better place. If you are someone who can hardly relate to this or if have already overcome this phase in your life, by all means, go ahead and write down your story. Who knows, getting things done on time might be your superpower and your stories might help others to stay productive.
