Totalling around forty books and counting, Maxwell has sold over twenty million books, as the figure continues to rise. Reaching the top of The New York Times Bestseller list numerous times, he’s achieved an enormous level of popularity.

These books are all non-fiction providing help and assistance to those in need, providing guidance for anyone seeking self-improvement.

Many of the books are published through the Thomas Nelson publishing house, with a lot of them offering actionable plans and ideas to use.

Originally published in 1993 on the 1st of January, this would come out through the ‘Thomas Nelson’ publishing imprint. As a Christian pastor, John C. Maxwell puts into words his own experience standing in front of congregation of many. This is a non-fiction book that’s entirely self-contained, making for an easy to follow read, with many insights and lessons throughout.

Easy to pick up, the book makes for an enjoyable read, imparting plenty of useful advice that the reader can then take away.

Breaking down relationships and what they mean, this studies how the reader can really improve their own social skills. Whether the reader is born with the skills innately or not, this isn’t important, as everyone can find self-improvement in this area if they look for it. Looking at the ‘People Principles’ in separate sections of the book, it shows how these areas can be advanced and improved. Once these relationships are then formed, how can they benefit the individual, helping them find self-fulfilment and happiness.
