We will be announcing the overall winner of the 2020 Porchlight Business Book Awards on January 14. Until then, we are taking a look back at the books in contention for the award. Today, we have the books in the Personal Development & Human Behavior category, and a look inside the one we chose as the best among them.

Our marketing director Blyth Meier takes readers inside 2018's best books in the Big Ideas & New Perspectives category.

Far beyond the “self help” books of yesterday, these five personal development & human behavior books help you in ways you didn’t even know you needed.
