The Holy Bible
The most read, most sold book of all time.  The handbook for living rightly in this life and for preparation of the next.  Written by men, divinely inspired by the God of all creation.  Read daily starting from the books of Mark and Proverbs.    My Video Review

Mindset
This book was the first to make me understand that, predominantly, I’ve had a “fixed mindset” as opposed to a “growth mindset”.  It set me on the conscious journey (that I am still on today) to rid myself of this disempowering way of thinking.

Start with Why
This book has assisted me in obtaining greater clarity on what my one fundamental purpose has been and is so that I can focus everything I do towards that end.  I think anyone reading this book can receive greater clarity about their direction in life.

Extreme Ownership
This book revealed to me what it truly means to take responsibility for yourself and for the lives of those around you… told vividly from the perspective of two, hard-core Navy Seals.  This is a timely concept that all Americans could adopt to the betterment of our society.

Essentialism
My entire, adult life I’ve been a student of time-management and this book is the best I’ve encountered at explaining the philosophy and the discipline of striving to get to the essential tasks of life and filter out the excess.  This book, along with Start with Why and Getting Things Done make for a substantial foundation for a productive life.

Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn
Through memorable story-telling, this book is a powerful reminder to me that, if I choose to learn, failure can not only be a great blessing but my greatest teacher… something I want to be reminded of regularly.

Man’s Search for Meaning
I’m reminded of absorbing these words while waiting for a delayed flight.  While those around me seethed, I couldn’t help but think how trivial most of our “suffering” really is.  It’s allowed me to create a more grateful and more proper perspective on life.

Ego is the Enemy
For anyone who is an achiever, this book should be read, annually.  Within its pages is a constant reminder that, whether in the striving, success, or failure aspects of life, ego makes everything worse and exacerbates challenges.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad
I grew up without rudimentary financial education.  This book instilled in me a simple yet profound, foundational education on the difference between a financially poor mindset and a financially rich mindset.  It’ll reveal why we tend to adopt similar financial circumstances as our forbearers.

The Brain that Changes Itself
If you want physical, scientific proof that you can become more than you are, this book will enfuse that empowering belief within you.  These revelations enter my mind and give me confidence whenever I consider taking on something new or challenging.
