If you've been a prescriber of the
channel for a long enough time you'll
know that I preach about reading quite
often have tons of videos that discussed
a variety of benefits that reading can
bring into your life but I haven't ever
really shared with you the books that I
think you should read so in today's
episode I'm gonna share with you guys
what I consider to be the six most
important books that you really really
should consider reading but before we
get started I like to thank audible for
sponsoring this episode for those of you
that don't know what audible is it's a
platform where you can listen to audio
versions of books I personally love
audible and have been using them for
years because it allows me to get the
benefit of reading while I'm doing my
chores or while I'm commuting to places
audible has by far the largest selection
of books out there and they also have
shows news and even comedy go to

slash 500 to get an exclusive 30-day

absolutely free I suggest you pick one
of the six books that I'm going to talk
about today because they are all
available on audible the first book on
my list is actually the first
self-improvement book I ever read how to
win friends and influence people by Dale
Carnegie it must have been seventeen or
eighteen when I first picked up this
book now I'm sure many of you have
already heard of this book it's probably
the most recommended self-improvement
book out there and there's a reason for
this see what this book does is it
teaches you simple little rules to keep
in mind for social interactions I don't
want to spoil the book for you but there
are certain things that you can do that
will drastically increase your ability
to befriend people the book essentially
teaches you how to become more likeable
and that's one of the most powerful
skills out there because if you can get
people to like you then things will
start to go your way you'll find that
you have an easier time making friends
getting jobs making sales and one of the
great side effects of all of this is
that you will be much happier and here's
something to think about when you learn
how to make friends you're essentially
learning how to make others happy and
this is one of the most fulfilling
feelings out there the ability to spread
joy and that's what how to win friends
and influence people teaches you the
next book on my list is also related to
social interactions what is everybody
saying by Joe Navarro Navarro was an X F
agent whose specialty was reading people
he passes on his knowledge in this book
in an extremely easy to read format in
fact I was able to finish this book in
just two days now this book is very
important because body language plays a
crucial role in social interactions this
is a must read for anyone that feels
like they aren't performing that well
socially there's so many of us that feel
awkward or don't know what to do during
social gatherings and I believe a big
reason for this is because of our
exposure to the Internet many of us have
grown up in an environment where we
socialize with people more online than
in real life we're in a society where we
use social media platforms like Facebook
or snapchat more than we spend time
speaking with people in person and this
has caused many of us to lose our
ability to read body language well
reading body language is an extremely
important skill because you can tell
what a person is feeling by looking at
their body language during a
conversation you're never always gonna
say the right things you're bound to
have jokes or comments that others don't
find that entertaining especially if
it's your first time meeting them now if
your ability to read body language isn't
sharp you'll often find yourself saying
the wrong things without even knowing
and this can easily make you come off as
more annoying or repulsive and you will
find yourself having a much harder time
making friends or establishing romantic
relationships because you can't tell
what you're doing wrong being able to
read body language is like being able to
see what answers on a test you got wrong
if you don't have the ability to see the
right answers then you'll never know
what to adjust the next book on my list
is models by Mark Manson now this book
is an interesting book to be honest it
kind of comes off as a sleazy pick-up
book but the core lesson it teaches you
is actually incredibly valuable you know
that piece of advice that people throw
around oh just be yourself well this
book actually teaches you why and how to
do just that because there's so many of
us that feel like we need to do certain
things or say certain things to impress
people we need to like certain sports we
need a where certain clothes etc models
teaches you how by just sticking to what
you love saying what's on your mind and
quote-unquote just being yourself
will actually get more people to like
you it also happens that this concept
will drastically improve your romantic
relationships by a lot now I know it
sounds kind of vague but trust me
there's a reason why I've read
book three times over because that core
lesson is just that important now the
fourth book on this list is Rich Dad
Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki it's the
only book on wealth that I have on this
list and there's a reason for that Rich
Dad Poor Dad teaches you a very simple
mindset that will quite literally change
your life it's a mindset that makes a
lot of sense but no one ever talks about
it it's not taught in school it's not
talked about in the media my friends my
parents none of them knew about it I
know I'm beating around the bush by not
telling you what this mindset is but I
don't want to spoil the book for you
it's honestly a super easy read it's a
short book and I was able to finish it
in just one day and I actually do a
tribute a lot of my success to this book
this simple mindset that I keep talking
about is definitely something that I
still think about quite often it's the
reason I've made certain choices in my
life and it's without a doubt one of the
main reasons I'm doing what I do right
now if you want to be rich one day you
have to read this book the fifth book on
my list is the power of habit by Charles
Duhigg this was actually one of the
books that I used to build the same
course this book is a must read because
it teaches you about how habits work see
our destiny what we accomplish in life
is ultimately determined by what sort of
habits we have if we have a bunch of bad
habits then chances are we're not going
anywhere anytime soon Joe Haeg breaks
down exactly how habits work and what
you can do to change them if you've
watched the team course and you're
working on changing the habits in your
life and this is definitely one of the
books you have to read the more you
understand why and how your addiction
works the inner workings of all habits
then the more things you can do to make
sure you overcome it a very very
important book for anyone that wants to
change their life the sixth and final
book on this list is a very special book
it's a book that I've read four times
over it's a book that I've gifted to
over 20 people it's a book that quite
literally changed my life it's the power
of now by Eckhart Tolle and I'll be
honest the premise of this book is
pretty weird
Eckhart was a man in his late twenties
became fed up with life and claims to
have spent a month just sitting on a
park bench in a state of bliss he talks
about the root of all suffering why so
many of us feel miserable about our
lives why we like to argue with our
loved ones why we can't find happiness
the book is written in a rather art form
at every
couple of pages there's a prompt for you
to set the book down and think about
what you just read I had many many
breakthroughs the first time I ever read
this book it drastically changed the way
I viewed the world and I can proudly say
that has made me into a happier person
and that's the reason I love gifting
this book out so much because I want to
spread that joy and these are what I
consider to be the six best
self-improvement books out there I
highly suggest you check them out
because each and every single one of
these books has drastically changed my
life for the better if you want to
purchase any of these books refer to my
