From self-help books about your love life to the business world, these books are just a download away to providing you with the knowledge that will improve anyone's life.

We have come up with a list of the top ten self-help audiobooks that will help you during a workout, a long drive, or right before bed. These audiobooks will give you an insight into a healthier, more productive, and happier life in no time.

To start off our list of the best self-help audiobooks, The Confidence Code: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance is a great way to start. Geared toward women, though everyone can learn a thing or two about self-assurance, authors Katty Kay and Claire Shipman write about confidence and it being the key reason behind success.

Using the examples from their own lives as well as successful female politicians, the book provides the inspiration that many women in the business world need, as well as in any life scenario. As a way to learn how to achieve confidence, this audiobook will be the perfect guide for you.

Next on our list of the best self-help audiobooks is The Art of Creative Thinking. A book that provides insight for anyone, author Rod Judkins tackles the concept of thinking innovatively. As a lecturer at St. Martin's College of Arts, Judkins spent years researching these thinkers.

Using an alarming range of reference points, he takes his writings and offers his readers an opportunity to think differently, in nearly any situation. He teaches his readers to plan to have accidents, to be stubborn about compromise, and to allow yourself to be childish.

Self Talk: How to Train Your Brain to Turn Negative Thinking into Positive Thinking & Practice Self Love is written by Aston Sanderson. Sanderson writes about the inner voice that everyone has, and the fact that 80% of our thinking tends to be negative.

However, Sanderson has discovered the power to change this, and wants to share this knowledge with her readers. From achieving your goals to being confident with yourself, the book explores it all, and will be the perfect commute audiobook for a positive morning.

The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life - Before 8AM by Hal Elrod is one of the best self-help audiobooks for those of you who feel like only a miracle could help you. Hal Elrod asks the question, "What if you could miraculously wake up tomorrow and any - or every area of your life was transformed? What would be different?"

And instead of answering the question for you, he provides a solution. For six minutes of your time a day, he wants you to enter the miracle morning. What is the miracle morning? You'll have to listen to see.

The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Businessby Charles Duhigg explores the topic of what makes a habit, and what a habit can do for your lifestyle. A pattern inside your brain, habits control your lifestyle.

And even if you can incorporate one single pattern into your life, you will understand the process, and ultimately succeed in transforming them to create a more productive, healthy, and happier life. "Habits aren't destiny," and rather something you can create for yourself.

Written by David Allen, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity brings up the topic of something everyone wishes for: a stress-free lifestyle. As one of the best self-help audiobooks, the book explores the concept of how our methods for staying on top aren't up to par anymore.

And instead of focusing on time management, we should use our time to focus on relaxing. Having a mind that is organized and clear is more productive than a cluttered and stressed mind that is on a "schedule." To diminish anxiety and confusion, you must feel fine about each of your acts. Allen explores the ways to do this.

Definitely a more specific self-help book, but one that will certainly change your life, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up is written by Marie Kondo and is a must-listen audiobook.

Written by a Japanese cleaning consultant, she takes her readers through the simple and best way to organize your home, as a way to also rid the clutter that resides in your mind. With a category-by-category system, the book takes you through the steps to achieve long-lasting results for a cleaner, healthier, and happier living space and lifestyle.

The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts is yet another one of the best self-help audiobooks with a specific topic. We had to include at least one self-help book that is geared toward improving your love life, and this is a great one for any couple. A classic book, but one that still remains true, Dr. Gary Chapmon writes about the basic five languages of love.

With this knowledge, he guides couples toward understanding each other and the way that they love and want to be loved. As a way to promote communication and better understanding of the unique five languages of love, this book is a must-read.

Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office: Unconscious Mistakes Women Makes That Sabotage Their Careers is another book geared toward women, but has tons of information anyone can learn from. Written by Lois P. Frankel, The New York Times bestseller is the perfect book for any woman in business.

Plus, this version of the audiobook is revised and updated. Exploring the topic of every unconscious mistake that every woman makes, the book will open your eyes to the opportunities that are just around the corner, if you just fix this one thing about yourself.

Last, but not least, on our list of the best self-help audiobooks is Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert. A great source of empowerment, the book is about Gilbert's wisdom of creativity and perspective.

The importance of uniqueness and empathy, Gilbert writes about embracing curiosity and discovering what we love most, as a way to tackle fear. Our challenges can be found in writing, art, or new obstacles. However, she explores the truth of finding mindfulness and passion in every situation to explore joy and wonder.
