Step 1
First, literally all books on psychology can be classified as useful books. They, in turn, can be divided into scientific and popular. In popular books, the following topics can most often be found: relations between a man and a woman, criteria for achieving success, wealth, etc. Sometimes these books are published by people without special professional education, so they are unlikely to bring you real benefit. Such publications are designed to instill in you an initial level of motivation, to prove to you that you are capable of anything. These books include the following: Carnegie D. "How to win friends and influence people", Shapar V. "Psychology of manipulation", Anthony R. "Stop thinking - it's time to act." We can find quite different topics in scientific books on psychology. This is both self-knowledge and self-regulation; this also includes the burning topics of loneliness, the meaning of life, aggression, and love. In these books, all human emotions, feelings and actions are explained in terms of scientific experiments. The most famous of these books are: Erickson "Childhood and Society", Miller "Education, Violence and Repentance", Yalom "Gift of Psychotherapy", Kochiunas "Fundamentals of Psychotherapeutic Counseling." Excellent for any person are books on the development of thinking, will, memory: Atkinson V. "Memory and care for it", Ovchinnikov NF "A new look at thinking", Pease A. P. "How to develop imagination", Dermant V. O. "Man and Freedom", S. A. Krivonogova "Creative and critical thinking".

Secondly, books on philosophy can be classified as useful books. They partly touch upon books on psychology. This includes the classics of the genre, such as L. N. Tolstoy. “Confession”, Walter “Candide or Optimism”, Socrates “Works”, Plato “Sophist”, Hobbes “Fundamentals of Philosophy”, Pascal B. “Thoughts”, Herzen A. I. "The past and thoughts", N. Chernyshevsky "What to do?"
Step 3
Thirdly, works on pedagogy and ethics will be an excellent book for everyone. In a civilized society, every person must comply with the norms of morality and ethics, as well as educate their children in this spirit. An excellent guide on this topic will be the following books: Sukhomlinsky VA "How to bring up a real person", Makarenko AS. "Pedagogical Poem", "Flags on the Towers", Korchak J. "Pedagogical Heritage", Ushinsky KD "Pedagogical works in 6 volumes", Komensky Ya. A. "Mother's School", Rousseau J. J. "Confession".
