Is there a book that helped you become a better version of yourself

No, but reading The Fountainhead as a teenager helped me become a worse version of myself. Took me a couple extra years to grow the fuck up.

Nope.

I would recommend being abstemious toward self-help books.

Coaching books are great. They teach you a little about a sport in addition to being self-help books. You get the lessons primarily from people who are dominant within their field as well.

Funny, it had the opposite effect on me as a teen. The bit about doing things for their own (or your experience's) sake rather than for approval really made me realise that I was doing everything for the affection of others and missing out on what I was actually experiencing. Granted, that was only a small part of the book's message, but it really helped me.

So, to answer the question, The Fountainhead ironically helped me, but my real answer is the Bible. I was raised in the church but fell away from the faith in my teens, and when a friend of mine convinced me to give the Bible another shot when I was a young adult, it completely changed me for the better.
