Learn . Connect . Grow.

Supporting you at every stage of your

self-help journey

The Shelf Help Club is a social network & BOOK CLUB for your self-development.

A place to LEARN from best-selling authors and well-being experts, to CONNECT with people walking the same path of self-discovery, and to GROW into the healthiest and happiest version of you.

Over 7 years we have read 500+ self-help books (50+ as a community), interviewed 00s of personal development authors and experts and - most importantly - supported 000s of people to create positive change in their lives. Along the way we have learned a lot about how change works, and while reading the books and watching the TED talks is great we know that it’s when you start sharing the journey - whether you’re interested in changing how you think, feel and/or behave - that the magic really happens.

THE STATS DON’T LIE

Sharing any goal increases your chances of achieving it by 65%. Add in an accountability appointment (a weekly online book club-check-in, for instance) and you’ll increase your chance of success by up to 95%.*

95% people! That’s a pretty incredible statistic.

It’s why AA and Weight Watchers and Park Runs work. And it’s why we are so obsessed with rebranding self-help as something to be done in community, and why everything we do around here is based on connection and conversation and people.

Change is hard, there’s no doubt. But it’s 100% easier and more fun when we can do it with the support of friends…
