Which is your Favorite Book ?

68 replies
Hey warriors,
Today is the Day I have completed reading my 100th Personal Development Book.
The Book is Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins.I remember my 1st Book I read was Think and Grow Rich.
And I must say that Unlimited Power was a very Powerful Book.
I loved the concepts of NLP and they are very practical.Think and Grow Rich will always be my inspiration and Motivation.

So I think these two books are my Favorite books.
Which Book(s) is your Personal Favorite.

Please write it down.Hope I get something new to read.

    The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins is also very mind opening into how we live in such a strange mindset when taught through religion. It has made my best Catholic friend a true sceptic!

    Anyways, I just picked up the 4 Hour Chef. Diggin it so far.

    Also The Education of Millionaires by Michael Ellsberg is great too!

      Exactly.But there are a lot of books teaching the same things.The key is to grab the golden nuggets and use it in our life.

    I really like "Loving What Is" by Byron Katie. It isn't about making money, but about how to look at yourself and let go of your assumptions that cause negative emotions. There is an interesting dialogue in the book with a guy who lost a lot of money in the stock market and blames his uncle. She gets him to see his own limiting thoughts that hold him back. It's a very good book to let go of blame ways of perceiving that get in the way each day.

    I like unlimited power, wasn't expecting as much science in it when I read through though. Still good. I mentioned in another "favorite book" thread the other day that I REALLY like The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth by John C. Maxwell.

    Unlimited Power was the first self-help/psychology book I ever read. I then moved on to books by the guys who taught Tony Robbins, Richard Bandler and John Grinder.

    I was disappointed by Awaken the Giant Within - it's very derivative, covering a lot of the same material that others like Brian Tracy, Dale Carnegie and so on had covered.

    Although I've read a lot of Hypnosis and NLP books, as they're my passion, my favourite book would be anything by Robin Sharma and especially his "The Monk Who Sold His Ferarri.

      I highly recommend The Man Made Prison by Mateo Tabatabai and also, Instantly Calm by Angela Marks. Two exceptional reads!!

      Two perfect books for today's hectic lifestyles. The information in both of these books is motivating, relatable, entertaining and inspiring. And yet both authors get right to the point. Which is what I like. Nobody likes a read that drags.

    How to Win Friends and Influence People is a favorite of mine. When you focus on building relationships, the rest can fall into place. It is people we work with, so if we don't know how to work with people, we will never get ahead.

    I must say that the one book that created the quickest and most measurable actions was The 4-hour Workweek. I was in a place in my life when I read it, that I was very receptive to what I read and immediately went to work.

    Some of my other personal favorites are:
    From Panic to Power -Lucinda Bassett
    Psycho Cybernetics -Maxwell Maltz
    E-myth Revisited -Michael E. Gerber
    Courage to Surrender -Tommy Hellsten
    (This book is a non-stop mind blow. If you can find it, read it.)

    Hi Ashish,

    Great thread! Since joining the worlf of personal development I too have come to love reading!

    I have had the priviledge of getting through several amazing books throughout the past year or so, although there are two or three that have really stood out as clear favourites!

    1. The Alchemist (Paolo Coelho)
    2. Psycho Cybernetics (Maxwell Martz)
    3. Creating a Bug Free Mind (Andy Shaw)

    I must say, that I am currently in the process of reading 'Creating a Bug Free Mind' by Andy Shaw and am thoroughly enjoying it at the moment!

    I strongly reccomend anyone reading this read (if they haven't read it already) to read this life changing book!

    Kind regards,

    Dan

        Great thread, about to go travelling to Australia so I need more books for the flight.

        I have heard good things about the science of getting rich, also on my list is a biography of the guy who founded walmart. Thats meant to be a good one.

        It's hard to choose one book but if I had to choose a favorite it would be awaken the giant within.

        Others are, the power of now, duncan bannatyne biography, alan sugars biography, think and grow rich, the greatest salesman in the world, the magic of thinking big, how to win friends and influence people and failure to success in selling.

    I would say that it is too difficult to choose one, especially with the fact that I read 3 to 5 books per week, but here are a few of my favorites:

    Success Principles by Jack Canfield
    Dying to Be Me by Anti Moorjani
    The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale
    See You at the Top by Zig Ziglar
    Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton

    (I also love many of the books listed above already, like Think and Grow Rich, but I wanted to come up with some fresh ones for the list.)
