Your #1 seems to be good for does it promote Personal development?

I had a copy laying around but haven't gotten the time to read to learn more about your religion.

Any book for e commerce web site?

Loren Woirhaye · 11-21-2008, 01:10 PM

Even though I tell people to check out Wallace Wattle I wouldn't
put him on a top ten list personally - his stuff is too vulnerable
to ignorant, childish interpretation.

I'd put The Magic Of Thinking Big up there... and Psychocybernetics
near the top - both are practical guidebooks.

Also The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

bradles · 11-21-2008, 03:05 PM

Thanks for the feedback!

Psychocybernetics is next on my list, I have heard it is fantastic!

I have many of the Top 10 titles available as Free Ebook Downloads on my website. The titles include:

- Think and Grow Rich: Napoleon Hill
- The Law of Attraction: Janet Beckers
- Science of Getting Rich: Wallace D Wattles
- You Were Born Rich: Bob Proctor
- Acres of Diamonds: Russell Conwell
- As a Man Thinketh: James Allen
- The Master Key System: Charles Haanel
- The Richest Man in Babylon: George Clason
- Awesome Secret: Napoleon Hill
- NLP in Business and in Life: Ken Strong

There are 35 Free Ebooks in total and the list also includes topics on Internet Marketing and Stock Market Trading. Click on the 'Free Ebooks' link in my signature to gain access.

Enjoy!

Ralf Skirr · 11-21-2008, 03:26 PM

The very first I ever read is still one of my favorites:
M.R. Kopmeyer:
'How To Get Whatever You Want'
Really hard to get these days.
I had to order from a publishing house in india to get a new copy.

Others that really had an impact:
Tony Robbins:
'Unlimited Power' & 'Awaken The Giant Within'

Catherine Ponder:
'Pray And Grow Rich', one of the earliest books of new thought that actually teaches releasing stuff while others always ignored the topic and actually made you ignore what's bad in your life. She really deserves credit for understanding and presenting that topic. (Chapter 4)

Eckhart Tolle:
'A New Earth'
I've been working with that for a few months now.
I'd say nothing had a larger impact on changing myself than applying this.

Ralf

VeraRaposo · 11-21-2008, 04:32 PM

Wow. What a great list of personal development books you have here. I have always enjoyed sitting down and reading a good personal development book.

When you read one you walk away feeling empowered and on top of the world. And so many times you take so much away from the book and are able to apply it to your daily lives and many times even your business.

I have read a handful of the book mentioned and have also put a few on them on my "Must Read", List.

Thanks,

Vera

Karen Blundell · 11-21-2008, 08:49 PM

I like your list and I would add "The Attractor Factor" by Joe Vitale. I really like Joe's style of writing.

write-stuff · 11-21-2008, 09:19 PM

I'd like to add a couple of oldies but goodies to the list:

Winning Through Intimidation
Looking Out for #1

both by Robert Ringer (and, interestingly, have nothing to do with winning through intimidation)

Jared Alberghini · 11-21-2008, 09:54 PM

The Greatest Salesman In The World - by: Og Mandino

That book definitely changed my life.

- Jared

David Hooper · 11-26-2008, 11:47 PM

Psycho-Cybernetics is great.

Also love Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale.

e-commerce warrior · 06-08-2009, 02:19 PM

check out lawofetraction.com, how to use the law of attraction for e-commerce success

Adrian Cooper · 06-08-2009, 03:18 PM

The best book is, without question, Science of Being in Twenty Seven Lessons:

Most lists are great - you can't go wrong with any of them. We are different people with different issues - so some may be better for individuals.

I agree about Catherin Ponder - also someone disliked "Science of Growing Rich" by Wattle. I liked it very much.

A few other books and authors worth looking at:
Your money or your life by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin
Books by Joseph Murphy and Charles Fillmore.
Books by Florence Scovel Shinn especially "The game of life and how to play it."

Danii Of Oz · 06-10-2009, 07:14 AM

My Top Ten is:

1. The Power of Your Subconscious Mind - Dr Joseph Murphy
2. Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill
3. Psycho-Cybernetics - Maxwell Maltz
4. The Attractor Factor - Joe Vitale
5. The Science of Getting Rich - Wallace D Wattles
6. Harmonic Wealth - James Arthur Ray
7. Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway - Susan Jeffers
8. A New Earth - Eckhart Tolle
9. Law Of Attraction Book - Michael Losier
10. Having It All - John Assaraf

I have lost count of how many times I have read some of these

Adrian Cooper · 06-10-2009, 07:28 AM

I agree about " The Power of Your Subconscious Mind " - excellent book.

All other Law of Attraction authors follow each other - only think is there is no "Law of Attraction".

One of only three authors in this specific area to get it right is The Baron Eugene Fersen. Charles Haanel and a few others were students of his.

Science of Being in Twenty Seven Lessons stands alone as the ultimate work:

eBook: Science of Being in Twenty Seven Lessons

Amazon.com: Science of Being in Twenty Seven Lessons

660 pages of pure Gold.

queenbuzzy · 06-10-2009, 10:04 AM

The first book that radically changed my mind about business was Wave 4: Network Marketing in the 21st Century by Richard Poe. That really got me thinking about residual income and creating systems to follow.

The ones that come quickly to my mind:

Wave 4: Richard Poe
Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway: Susan Jeffers
Power of Focus: Jack Canfield
Cashflow Quadrant: Robert Kiyosaki
One Minute Millionaire: Bob Allen
Who Moved My Cheese: Spencer Johnson

"Feel the Fear" is especially well-loved. I read that every other year or so...I find it helps me get through my own self-imposed hang-ups

-Buzzy

pearlydean · 06-10-2009, 10:25 AM

My top ten self improvement books are:

1. The Richest Man In Babylon - George S Clason
2. 7 Habits - Stephen Covey
3. Manifesto - Barefoot Doctor
4. Psycho Cybernetics - Maxwell Maltz
5. The Secret of Letting Go - Guy Finley
6. Stop Thinking Start Living - Richard Carlson
7. Awaken The Giant Within - Tony Robbins
8. Success through a positive mental attitude - W Clement Stone
9. The EMyth - Micheal Gerber
10. How to get from where you are to where you want to be - Jack Canfield

All of these have inspired me in different ways and had a positive impact on my life. The Secret of Letting Go helped me through a very difficult time in my life about 4 years ago and changed my way of thinking about life completely. I am a much happier person now!

Cheers Keith

billythekid · 06-10-2009, 10:27 AM

i think think rich and grow rich is great. Really has stood the test of time, some great gems in there.

Yep, there's three of my favourites right there.

One very under-rated book is "Super Self" by the late Charles Givens. Those willing to give it a try will find it sold second-hand for 1 cent in the US and 1 pence in the UK...

Amazon.com: Super Self: Doubling Your Personal...

me1ertool75 · 06-10-2009, 01:19 PM

The book that's been the foundation for my reading of other self-help books is:

Boundaries: When to Say YES, When to Say NO, To Take Control of Your Life, by Henry Cloud and John Townsend

In my opinion other self-help topics can only go so far if you don't have a firm foundation in setting personal boundaries.

danmiranda · 06-11-2009, 09:16 AM

I've read How To Win Friends and Influence People. Definitely changed my life.

jukeboxhero · 06-11-2009, 12:26 PM

I've read most everybook listed on this post and there is 1 book that brings it all together perfectly...I didn't see it mentioned....

Secret of the Ages by Robert Collier...Not only did he write the best book ever but he's also the man who coined the copywriting term "Meet them at the conversation in their head"...His Robert Collier Letter book is a MUST read for anyone.

Secret of the Ages is an excellent book - I sell that as well for the same reason. Definitely one of the best books - maybe makes the top 5.

"How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" is another great one from Dale Carnegie.

Matt Jutras · 06-11-2009, 05:15 PM

One book that never gets any love or mention:

Pushing To The Front by Orison Swett Marden. Originally published in 1894 (but revised in 1911), it's an 800 page beast on par with Hill's Law Of Success.

It's also available free:

Door Number One - Pushing To The Front By Orision Swett Marden

John Henderson · 06-12-2009, 05:29 AM

Matt, I only heard of Orison Swett Marden thanks to a quote in "Awaken the Giant Within". I followed up on his name probably over a year ago, and had since forgotten all about him -- thanks for the reminder and the link!

Clint · 06-12-2009, 02:31 PM

I read the title of this thread and the first thing I thought was richest man and there it is in your top 10 list. Although I have no idea how you can narrow down just top 10. You should have a top thousand.

This is my personal opinion

Yeah, its really an awesome book. Very inspiring and life changing.

Gardenbella · 06-18-2009, 01:42 PM

My top 5 would have to be:
Think and Grow Rich By Napolean Hill

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

The Secret by Rhonda Byrne

You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay

Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson

fxteam · 06-19-2009, 12:49 AM

Think and Grow Rich By Napolean Hill

My favorite book

Dan Grossman · 06-19-2009, 01:17 AM

The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses...

cynch · 06-19-2009, 01:51 AM

think and grow rich & greatest salesman in the world

Alessandro Zamboni · 06-19-2009, 09:22 AM

I read only Thinks and Grow Rich by Naopleon Hill and I'm really happy that you choose to place that in first position.

I read also the Gardenbella suggested Who Moved My Cheese by Johnson Spencer, that's really interesting.

For the others... I will try to read them in a next future.
Goodbye

Robert Boduch · 06-20-2009, 02:59 PM

Wow - lots of EXCELLENT books listed here!

Ask and It is Given - by Esther Hicks (Abraham) (my favorite of her many books)

All other Law of Attraction authors follow each other - only think is there is no "Law of Attraction". One of only three authors in this specific area to get it right is The Baron Eugene Fersen. Charles Haanel and a few others were students of his. Science of Being in Twenty Seven Lessons stands alone as the ultimate work: eBook: Science of Being in Twenty Seven Lessons Amazon.com: Science of Being in Twenty Seven Lessons 660 pages of pure Gold.

That really got me thinking about residual income and creating systems to follow. The ones that come quickly to my mind: Wave 4: Richard Poe Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway: Susan Jeffers Power of Focus: Jack Canfield Cashflow Quadrant: Robert Kiyosaki One Minute Millionaire: Bob Allen Who Moved My Cheese: Spencer Johnson "Feel the Fear" is especially well-loved. I read that every other year or so...I find it helps me get through my own self-imposed hang-ups -Buzzy

Originally published in 1894 (but revised in 1911), it's an 800 page beast on par with Hill's Law Of Success. It's also available free: Door Number One - Pushing To The Front By Orision Swett Marden

I followed up on his name probably over a year ago, and had since forgotten all about him -- thanks for the reminder and the link!

Although I have no idea how you can narrow down just top 10. You should have a top thousand. This is my personal opinion Clint
