What Are Your Top 3 "Must Read" Books?

29 replies
Well after discussing Psycho Cybernetics and what an impact it made on me I started to think about other classics that are worth their weight in gold. Here are my three picks (for now):

The New Psycho Cybernetics - Dan Kennedy rewrite
As A Man Thinketh - James Allen
The Richest Man In Babylon - George S. Clason


What are your top 3?

    Hmmm... that would require some additional thinking,
    but off the top of my head I would say at:

    In the area of spiritual formation: Ruthless Trust by Brennan Manning and Itimacy With The Almighty by Charles Swindoll.

    In the area of time management: To Do, Doing, Done! by G. Lynne Snead and Joyce Wycoff.

    Those would be a quick three.

    1) Rich Dad, Poor Dad ~ Robert Kiyosaki - This book shows how to start thinking about money and living in a different life. To create life rather than save what you have left. I love that Kiyosaki doesn't give any exact advice, but rather a way to change your thinking that can conform to anyone's life.

    2) Buddhism: Plain and Simple ~ Steve Hagen - This book explains Buddhism from the Zen point of view. Basically, awareness in every day life. Buddha taught "the power of now" way before Oprah and Eckhart Tolle. You should learn from the original master.

    3) The Little Red Book of Wisdom ~ Mark Demoss - This book gets back to the basics, from a human and Christiam point of view. One of the things he recommends is to still hand write letters. I sometimes re-read that chapter just to motivate me to write a few thank you letters. This has changed my life.
