Top 10

  1. The Saint, The Surfer, and The CEO. by Robin Sharma

    This is a terrific book that captures the essence of being and genlty guides its readers to an inviting world of wholeness and possibility. This book really put so much of my life into perspective and made want to do more, be more, and not in your typical material sense either. After reading this book I felt whole and realized deep down inside how close I was to becoming my best self. I recommend visiting his formal website sometime...it will be worth it: HERE


  2. How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie

    Wow...this is a book I would recommend to every single human alive. Seriously!! This is a book that I believe if everyone read and studied, the world would be a dramatically different place. Have you ever wondered why people are so wierd or different and then had an extremely difficult time dealing with them at work, in business, or in the necesarry social gathering. Well this book put it all into perspective for me and really allowed me to not only accept the intricacies of human relations for what they were, but gave me a leg up by showing me how to effectively and positively handle or mangage individuals in every type of situation. I've added a link to a page that will give you more info his works: HERE


  3. End The Struggle and Dance With Life by Susan Jeffers, Ph.D

    I used to work in a really cushy and safe coporate environment and made a move into self-employment a couple of years ago which had me worrying like crazy for my financial well being. After a couple months of experiencing stressed induced illnesses I found this baby.This book was so powerful in helping me live a better life. Honest to goodness as I read through this book I felt my life and general well being get easier, happier, and lighter. Stress was gone, worry was gone, and years later they have yet to rear their ugly little heads. It's an absolutely amazing and life changing book. If you want to know more about this awesome author check out her website HERE


  4. Faust by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

    A somewhat tragic read but a classic. This story has philosophical gems of insight that will leave you forever better, nobler, and wiser for reading it. If you are not ready to go to your local library to check this out yet, but still curious about the gist of this storyline and more content go HERE

  5. Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill

    This book contains a secret, one which has been put to a practical test by thousands of people from every walk of life. I believe this book truly contains the fundamentals of what is needed to create the richness and wealth one seeks in life. It outlines specific tactics which will lead you to your ultimate goals. If you really want to get the most out of his material, the napolean hill foundation has been set up in honor of his work, to check it out go HERE

  6. Real Magic by Dr. Wayne Dyer

    An eye opening book. I was extremely skeptical and thought myself to be a "know-it-all" before exploring this book. I gained immense trust/faith in life and in myself while reading this. Through this book, Wayne Dyer ultimately shifted my whole experience in life to one which was once again comprised of wonder, possibility, potential, and faith. A magnificent read with potential to put the magic spark back into your life. He has a pretty neat website, to learn more go HERE

  7. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

    I read this years ago but the principles taught in this book have stuck with me ever since. Robert teaches significant principles on finances and investing which helps people realize that wealth, money, and early retriement aren't just ideas and realities experienced by the rich or by celebrities, but rather, easily attainble circumstances that can be created by anyone who wants it. You'll gain a new financial consciousness and learn excellent ideas that may be a huge shift from what you've been taught or previously known about money, and will ultimately prove more promising. If interested in learning more about his community of individuals seeking more financial knowldedge go HERE

  8. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

    This book will completely revolutionize your thinking about yourself and about spirituality. This book, if read thoroughly and seriously, can transform your thinking and bestow upon you an existence filled with more joy, awareness, peace, and meaning..NOW. He has a pretty nice website too...you can see it HERE

  9. Tribes by Seth Godin

    A phenomenal book by the master of marketing. I've read almost all of Seth Godin's books but this one really galvanized my soul. Seth plays the role of professional disturber in this one, provoking his readers to get off of their couch of comfort and lead. It's an easy read, however it is packed with powerful nudges of encouragement and personal challenges that will leave you dying to get started on your personal movement to positively help change your world or industry. Visit his website/blog HERE

    or check look more into this squidoo website, because he his the CEO of it.
  10. Thus Spoke Zaruthustra by Friedrich Nietzsche

    An extremely philosophical book and a very difficult read. As claimed by the Author, it is a "book for all and a book for none". This statement struck me as a personal challenge by the author, so I read the book a couple of times. Actually, only after reading this book a couple of times will it make sense..so be patient. In all seriousness though, this book will probably offend or anger you and at the very least disturb you, but after it is all said and done, this book is in my mind great, as it was created in order to push individuals at all levels of their existence to surpass what they now know and experience in order to become and overcome themselves again and again. Think kaizen principles and self development to the extreme. Want to know more? I would suggest starting with wikepedia HERE
