How to Achieve Your Goals Fast Managing Change: Transforming a Hard Day into a Great One
The 10 Best Personal Development Books?
By Robin Sharma
Author of the #1 International Bestseller The Leader Who Had No Title
Greetings from New York City.
Just did a light run through Soho (exercising FIRST thing in the morning has been such a game-changer). You
owe it to yourself to try it for 7 days.
Now Im settled into creative mode. Great Colombian coffee. Book-filled room. Fresh flowers. (Another tip: your
environment dramatically influences your creativity).
So, I wanted to share some more good information with you in my ongoing OBSESSION to help you Lead
Without a Title + build out a life THAT MAKES HISTORY.
Im often asked which books are most transformational for people like us who want to do fantastic work and
lead our best lives.

lead our best lives.
So here are 10 of the best. Read them. Share them. Study them. LIVE them
1. Jonathan Livingston Seagull. By Richard Bach.
With lines like: Dont believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation, this book will
move you deeply. I re-read it in Thailand. Still amazingly good.
2. Think and Grow Rich. By Napoleon Hill.
Fantastic book. Not so much about financial wealth as it is about the making of a rich life. Youll learn
how important it is to have a burning desire (this galvanizes your focus and causes the release of your
creativity) + the imperative of setting clear goals + the value of a mastermind alliance. This book truly
changed my life when I was starting out as a self-published author with nothing but a dream in my
hands. Times were tough. This book got me through.
3. The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. Bywell, Marcus Aurelius.
Marcus Aurelius was a warriorwho then became a Roman emperor. He wrote his lessons on
greatness and a life well lived during a multi-year military campaign. Someone got his notes. And put it
into this book. I go back to this book often. It strengthens my character. And resolve to help more
people.
4. Steve Jobs. By Walter Isaacson.
One of the best books Ive ever read. Period.
5. Long Walk To Freedom. By Nelson Mandela.
Nelson Mandelas one of my heroes. Noble. Courageous. Focused. A visionary. If I could be 1/100 of
who he is, Id be overjoyed. This is his autobiography. Youll walk with him through his days as a
lawyer, his time as a disruptor, his prison years and his period as the positional leader of South Africa.
6. Stop Acting Rich. By Thomas Stanley.
Thomas Stanley became famous for The Millionaire Next Door. But this booknot so well knownis
exceptional. He explains the concept of The Glittering Rich, shares how too many of us live beyond
our means and how to create true financial freedom. Like most of the books I read, I listened to it.
7. As You Think. By James Allen.

60 Tips For A Stunningly Great
Life
50 New Rules of Work
Robin's 73 Best Business and
Maybe 10 times. Thats at least how many times Ive read this book. And like all great books, it seems
better+wiser and deeper every time I read it. Of course, the book hasnt changed. Just my ability to
grasp the information. And understand the concepts. This book is all about the power of your daily
thinking. And how it drives your lifes behavior. As you know so well: your behavior shows us your
beliefs. And this awesome book will inspire you to build new ones.
8. The Magic of Thinking Big. By David Schwartz.
Uber-practical. Tons of value. Great concepts, like Go Through Life First-Class. Every student,
teammate and human being should read this book (along with How To Win Friends and Influence
People by Dale Carnegiethat work should also be on my list. True.).
9. Talent is Overrated. By Geoff Colvin.
Read this one a few years ago. Changed the way I viewed Genius. Confirms a lot of the work of
exceptional performance researchers like the famed Anders Ericsson that talent is less about natural
gifts and far more about devotion to a skill, relentless practice and patience. Another superb
audiobook.
10. Spark. By John Ratey.
One of the best books Ive read in years. Im on my 3rd reading. Shares the latest (and so fascinating)
research on how exercise transforms the brain, our performance, our productivity and even builds a
new type of brain that is excellent at resisting stress. Please do your life a giant favor. And read this
book. Today!
Ok. So there you go. Some of my favorite books. Go study them. And use them.
Please remember, ideasflawlessly translated into reality are the keys to breathtaking success. And you
becoming more of who you truly are.
Ohand definitely make some time each day to read. Small little advances in your knowledge base lead to
quantum improvements in your performance over time.
Thanks for making the time to read my posts. I work hard to make them valuable for you. So we get you to
your best. Sooner versus later.
Be great. And dream even bigger. The world needs you to shine.
Speak soon,

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaccson was just a bad book for me. All it showed was what a dickhead Steve Jobs was to
people and how controlling his personality was. The rest are good.

What a great, trans-generational list! I have read many of these, but not all; I have some work to do.
I would add Simply Successful by Evan Dorren; I just finished it. Its an easy, yet meaty read; heavy on personal
responsibility, and emphasizing a well-tuned balance of effort in our pursuits of health, relationships, and financial

When it comes to PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, Im not sure how come the 21 irrefutable laws of leadership by John C
Maxwell is not on that list.
Id also add Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
