The ideas contained in the books by the above-mentioned authors started to 'live' in me, caused changes for the better that I still experience today; my private and professional life has changed, I notice major changes in my beliefs and my thinking, my so-called 'mindset' has changed.
The Lord is my shepherd, I don't really lack anything, but I want to grow. And what does that mean in practice?

"And it started with the first personal development book, its title is 'The Power of Positive Thinking'. The author of this book is Norman Vincent Peale. Reading that book and then the next ones, I yearned for growth and change, I yearned for a better and happier life."
Everyone avoids problems and this is normal. It seems that a problem is nothing good. However, there are exceptions, which I will not describe here. I will point out that problems are an inherent part of life.
