If
you are regular Reader of the Blog for a long enough time you'll know that I
preach about reading quite often have tons of Articles that discussed a variety
of benefits that reading can bring into your life but I haven't ever really
shared with you the books that I think you should read so in today's Post I'm
gonna share with you guys what I consider to be the six most important books
that you really, really should consider reading but before we get started I
like to thank FloatingYogi for sponsoring this episode for those of you that
don't know what FloatingYogi is it's a platform where you can Learn about Yoga.
1. How to Win Friends &
Influence People by Dale Carnegie
I
suggest you pick one of the six books that I'm going to talk about today
because they are all available on Online the first book on my list is actually
the first self-improvement book I ever read how to win friends and influence
people by Dale Carnegie it must have been seventeen or eighteen when I first
picked up this book now I'm sure many of you have already heard of this book
it's probably the most recommended self-improvement book out there and there's
a reason for this see what this book does is it teaches you simple little rules
to keep in mind for social interactions. I don't want to spoil the book for you
but there are certain things that you can do that will drastically increase your
ability to befriend people. The book essentially teaches
you how to become more likeable and that's one of the most powerful skills out
there because if you can get people to like you then things will start to go
your way you'll find that you have an easier time making friends getting jobs
making sales and one of the great side effects of all of this is that you will
be much happier and here's something to think about when you learn how to make
friends you're essentially learning how to make others happy and this is one of
the most fulfilling feelings out there the ability to spread joy and that's
what how to win friends and influence people teaches you.
2. What Every BODY is
Saying by Joe Navarro
The
next book on my list is also related to social interactions what is everybody saying
by Joe Navarro Navarro was an X-FBI agent whose specialty was reading people he
passes on his knowledge in this book in an extremely easy to read format in fact
I was able to finish this book in just two days now this book is very important
because body language plays a crucial role in social interactions this is a
must read for anyone that feels like they aren't performing that well socially
there's so many of us that feel awkward or don't know what to do during social
gatherings and I believe a big reason for this is because of our exposure to
the Internet many of us have grown up in an environment where we socialize with
people more online than in real life we're in a society where we use social
media platforms like Facebook or snapchat more than we spend time speaking with
people in person and this has caused many of us to lose our ability to read
body language well reading body language is an extremely important skill
because you can tell what a person is feeling by looking at their body language
during a conversation you're never always gonna say the right things you're
bound to have jokes or comments that others don't find that entertaining
especially if it's your first time meeting them now if your ability to read
body language isn't sharp you'll often find yourself saying the wrong things
without even knowing and this can easily make you come off as more annoying or
repulsive and you will find yourself having a much harder time making friends
or establishing romantic relationships because you can't tell what you're doing
wrong being able to read body language is like being able to see what answers
on a test you got wrong if you don't have the ability to see the right answers
then you'll never know what to adjust.
3. Models: Attract Women
Through Honesty
The
next book on my list is models by Mark Manson now this book is an interesting
book to be honest it kind of comes off as a sleazy pick-up book but the core lesson
it teaches you is actually incredibly valuable you know that piece of advice
that people throw around oh just be yourself well this book actually teaches
you why and how to do just that because there's so many of us that feel like we
need to do certain things or say certain things to impress people we need to
like certain sports we need a where certain clothes etc models teaches you how
by just sticking to what you love saying what's on your mind and quote-unquote
just being yourself will actually get more people to like you it also happens
that this concept will drastically improve your romantic relationships by a lot
now I know it sounds kind of vague but trust me there's a reason why I've read book
three times over because that core lesson is just that important now.
4. Rich Dad Poor Dad by
Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter
The
fourth book on this list is Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki it's the only
book on wealth that I have on this list and there's a reason for that Rich Dad
Poor Dad teaches you a very simple mindset that will quite literally change your
life it's a mindset that makes a lot of sense but no one ever talks about it
it's not taught in school it's not talked about in the media my friends my parents
none of them knew about it I know I'm beating around the bush by not telling
you what this mindset is but I don't want to spoil the book for you it's
honestly a super easy read it's a short book and I was able to finish it in
just one day and I actually do a tribute a lot of my success to this book this
simple mindset that I keep talking about is definitely something that I still
think about quite often it's the reason I've made certain choices in my life
and it's without a doubt one of the main reasons I'm doing what I do right now
if you want to be rich one day you have to read this book.
5. The Power of Habit by
Charles Duhigg
The
fifth book on my list is the power of habit by Charles Duhigg this was actually
one of the books that I used to build the same course this book is a must read
because it teaches you about how habits work see our destiny what we accomplish
in life is ultimately determined by what sort of habits we have if we have a
bunch of bad habits then chances are we're not going anywhere anytime soon Joe
Haeg breaks down exactly how habits work and what you can do to change them if
you've watched the team course and you're working on changing the habits in
your life and this is definitely one of the books you have to read the more you
understand why and how your addiction works the inner workings of all habits then
the more things you can do to make sure you overcome it a very, very important
book for anyone that wants to change their life the sixth and
6.
The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual
Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle
Final
book on this list is a very special book it's a book that I've read four times over
it's a book that I've gifted to over 20 people it's a book that quite literally
changed my life it's the power of now by Eckhart Tolle and I'll be honest the
premise of this book is pretty weird Eckhart was a man in his late twenties
became fed up with life and claims to have spent a month just sitting on a park
bench in a state of bliss he talks about the root of all suffering why so many
of us feel miserable about our lives why we like to argue with our loved ones
why we can't find happiness the book is written in a rather art form at every couple
of pages there's a prompt for you to set the book down and think about what you
just read I had many many breakthroughs the first time I ever read this book it
drastically changed the way I viewed the world and I can proudly say that has
made me into a happier person and that's the reason I love gifting this book
out so much because I want to spread that joy and these are what I consider to
be the six best self-improvement books out there I highly suggest you check
them out because each and every single one of these books has drastically
changed my life for the better.
