The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change
by Steven Covey
This is, hands down, one of the most influential books I’ve ever read in my life. I have recommended it to countless people. The fact that you’re seeking it out says volumes about your level of self-awareness as it is and this book builds on that. Very seldom do books really make me get involved when I read them, but this book made me break out my highlighter and notepad. There was so much good stuff I just had to take notes I could quickly reference.
You do know how some books make you say things out loud? You’ll read something and say, “YES! EXACTLY!” or read something profound and sit dumbfounded, going “Wow,” and you have to take a moment to reflect on it? This book is full of moments like that. This book is about the untouchable part of your human spirit that no one besides you can control. If you’re here looking for a book that will help you harness that little spark inside of you that’s saying, “You can be better” then this book is it.
Think and Grow Rich
by Napoleon Hill
In this little booklet, the author describes 13 unique principles that help a person achieve the dreams of one’s Life.
This book helped me enormously to decide how to accomplish my goals and unified my thinking. I must admit: when the last page of this book was read, the hand which put the reading down to the table, was a different hand. The man who then stood and walked into the World was a different man. A changed man. That man was in possession of talent to follow a path of belief and principles so that one day he can turn dreams into reality.
Think and Grow Rich is the all-time bestseller in its field, having sold many million copies worldwide, and sets the standard for today’s motivational thinking.
Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action
by Simon Sinek
If you ever wondered why you need a WHY, then this reading is for you. The book illustrates why one must have a WHY for every notable action he or she takes, as it defines that person’s attitude towards him- or herself.
When the personal WHY is cultivated and centered, one can devise a WHY for a family, for a community of people, for giant business corporations, even for a whole country. That is what matters!
