At the end of 1988, he gathered these letters together and published them as Overcoming Yourself. It was followed by Creating Yourself and Affirming Yourself. In the years following, as his son grew older, Liu focused on his son's different needs as he passed through university and graduate school, publishing many books of his discussions with his son about life's meaning and values.
一九八八年底，他將這些書信結集為《超越自己》出版，接著《創造自己》、《肯定自己》相繼出版，之後，隨著兒子的成長，劉墉也針對他大學、研究所等不同階段的需求與發展，陸續出版多本與兒子談論人生意義與價值的書。
