The Lord of the Rings is one book. Any books from JK Rowling also.

I like Think and Grow Rich, too. My favorite author is Earl Nightingale though.

Have you read "Awaken The Giant Within" by Anthony Robbins ? I think it was after "Unlimited Power"

"Guinness World Records" is my favorite Book.

Quantum Psychology by Robert Anton Wilson may be the next book you want to try, if you like NLP and mind-related stuff.

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!

Love reading. But remember, the best thing is to take action and ACT on the knowledge you gain from a book.

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

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

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 The Millionaire Fastlane. Pretty much a no nonsense, get off your butt and do something that will help people kind of strategy which hit home for me.

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 like "The world is flat" by Thomas Friedman

The 48 Laws Of Power.

Pretty much the western version of 'The Art Of War'.

Aesops fables are also good to learn a lot.

Reading the classics is always a good idea, pickthebrain.com/blog/improve-your-mind-by-reading-the-classics , I'd start with Aristotle's Metaphysics.

Wow, i never thought you guys would have posted cool books here, been reading on it one by one, and it does really makes sense. thanks for the share.

Two of the first Personal and Professional Development books I ever read - which have remained on my top 5 five of all time over the years - are, The Travelers Gift by Andy Andrews and The Alchemist by Paulo Cuehlo.

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.

Dan Kennedy's "No BS Wealth Attraction in the New Economy" has become my new daily devotional. I've been rewriting the principles in my own words, been a great exercise.

I would go with art of war - the best one ever !

Just finished " Platform Get Noticed In A Noisy World" by Michael Hyatt. Excellent book and highly recommended.

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

Congrats on your 100th! My favourite has to be "Risky is the New Safe" by Randy Gage. James Allen's "As A Man Thinketh" is also at the top of my list.

Jordon Belfort - The Wolf of Wallstreet.

Amazing. :-)

Millionaire Fastlane by MJ Demarco. Changed my mindset completely about entrepreneurship

I will read both Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power, based on your recommendations. I've never really started on Anthony Robbins, but it seesm so many think highly of his teachings.

A Course In Miracles is my favorite book.

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.)

These three books made the biggest difference in my life and are the books that I am constantly rereading.
The laws of success by Napoleon Hill
The science of getting rich by Wallace Wattles
The Master Key System by Charles Hannel

[DELETED]

My favorite one is The adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Really an eye opener to me.

Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House" is my favorite book.

My favorite book is "Silas Marner". It has touched me a lot.

The Power of Now and the Millionaires fastlane is definitely my favourite books of all time.

My favorites are the ones which have actually changed my life:

Think and Grow Rich
The Secret
Unlimited Power
Taking Risks
Lead the Field
The Power of Focus
The Millionaire Next Door
His Needs Her Needs

and of course the one I wrote "How to Redirect Your Life" which I continue to refer to.

Mario Puzo "The Godfather"
The best one!

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma

"Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho and Earl Nightningale's "Lead the Field"

I think in 100 books you will have studied most of the book that we are sharing with you here. However I will recommend "Risky is the New Safe" by Randy Gage.

99.9% are crap. Mine is worth the time.

I have read so many books that I can't even begin to figure out the best book I have ever read. Reading gives you power.

"Sam Walton: Made In America" is the best book I read this year. Very motivating and impressive how he built Wal-Mart into the largest retailer in the world out of an idea. The book is about 20 years old, but many of the concepts still apply today. Even to an Internet business.

anything by zig ziglar or napoleon hill is good with me.

The Million Dollar Decision by Robert Rolih

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great book i ever read. It changed my mind
