A lot of people asked me what are my favourite books, and here is a quick post with my top 5 book recommendations of books for personal development, and my top 5 recommendation for business.
For personal development:
1. Power vs Force – by David Hawkins (if you’d like to read it I recommend start in the chapter The source of power).
2. The Untethered Soul – by Michael Singer.
3. The Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem – by Nathaniel Branden.
4. Letting Go – by David Hawkins.
5. The Inner Game Of Tennis – by Timothy Gallwey (It’s the inner game of life through tennis. Any person who likes sport, music, or anything that needs to be learned physically or performed under pressure will love this book. I believe everybody should at least read the chapter The Meaning Of Competition.)
Some of these books can be a bit complex to start with.
If you’re starting in this journey I recommend start with a few of other books like:
Seven Strategies for Wealth and Happiness by Jim Rohn. The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Your Erroneous Zones by Wayne Dyer. How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. Crucial Conversations – by Joseph Grenny. Happier by Tal Ben-Shahar. Or Awakening The Giant Within, and Unlimited Power, by Tony Robbins.
And the top 5 recommendations for business are:
1. Ready, Fire, Aim – by Michael Masterson.
2. Playing To Win – by A. G. Lafley.
3. Poor Charlie’s Almanack – by Charlie Munger.
4. The Art Of Profitability – by Adrian Slywotzky (it’s a simple book about profit patterns, you can convine it with his other book The Profit Zone but not all patterns are explained in the last one).
5. Confessions Of A Pricing Man – by Herman Simon (mainly because of the importance of the pricing skill for businesses).
Also, if you’re new to business I recommend starting with other books. Those could be:
The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, and Positioning, by Al Ries. Cashvertising by Eric Whitman. The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ De Marco. Profit First by Mike Michalowicz, Financial Intelligence for Entrepreneurs by Karen Berman, Tested Advertising Methods by John Caples, Reality in Advertising by Rosser Reeves, Topgrading by Bradford Smart, 100M Offer, and Gym Lunch Secrets by Alex Hormozi.
And if you’re in the tech industry Crossing The Chasm by Geoffrey Moore, and The Cold Start Problem by Andrew Chen.
I hope you find this list as helpful as it is for me!
