Woman-Written Personal/Professional Development
FKA: Glow up, girl 💅🏻
Why is it considered "personal/professional development" when men read & write these types of books, but "self help" if a woman is reading or writing it?
Actualized, confident, and educated women are less controllable, so they shame us for seeking to better ourselves in an attempt to discourage our growth and strength. I say screw that. Become ungovernable.
Personal and professional development books (including personal finance) by women authors. Suggestions welcome.

Helpful Self Help
Self help books
So you want to listen to more audiobooks (and you can't visualise)
This list is for you if you've traditionally found it hard to concentrate when listening to audiobooks, but would like to do more ear-reading.
Each of these books is less than 10 hours long and has an engaging narrator*, so they're great options to start to train your listening muscles. They're also from a range of different genres to help you experiment with what works for you.
You might particularly enjoy these books if you're a fast, visual learner; you can't visualise or have aphantasia; or your mind tends to wander when you try to listen to long chunks of text.
*in my opinion
Self - Care
Books for surviving this capitalistic hellscape with solutions (some that address the patriarchy!!!)
