Lactic Folly Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I plan to reread 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, a classic for good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Stephen Covey. You may be interested in Adlerian psychology. I'm reading "The Courage To Be Disliked" which speaks from the same underlying principles. Both Carnegie & Covey were big fans of Adler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Cool, thanks for the rec. Have added it to my "For Later" shelf. I listened to Robert Holden's Be Happy recently and it is on my "re-read" shelf as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho - always inspires me with every re-read, lifting my spirits when I feel I am off life's track. His Dark Materials Trilogy by Sir Philip Pullman - yes I know they were originally published as YA fantasy books, but the trilogy can be read on multiple levels. Don't let the Golden compass movie dissuade you (a poor resemblance to the book). Butterfly_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg_McMuffin Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Lintchpin by Seth Godin- essentially his message is to survive in today's market, you need to be indispensable, be creative Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell- he coined the 10,000 hr rule in this book. I remember reading it and thinking 'hmm maybe there is hope for talentless average people like me' So Good They Can't Ignore You by Cal Newport- really helped me to evaluate my priorities and focus on the important things when shit hit the fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleanup Posted March 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Thanks for the recommendations guys. Second time I've heard Linchpin. How to Make Friends and Influence People is a classic of course. So far my 3 are: The Courage To Be Disliked The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Discipline Equals Freedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
