If you’re working on thriving in life “one bite at a time,” I’m sure you’re actively working on learning all you can about success and different life skills you might need to achieve your goals–even if your goal, like so many here at the Hungry Dater, is to find a great person to share your life with. In my education on this subject, I have been fairly self-taught. But my teachers, through the books they’ve written, are all epic. Below is a list of the best books on success, based on those which are most accessible and have had the best results for me in my own life and those of my clients. So without further ado, the best books on success–according to me!
The Success Principles by Jack Canfield
Jack has been a great teacher and a stellar coach for many many years. If you haven’t heard of The Success Principles, I’m sure you’ve heard of Chicken Soup for the Soul. Jack and his partner started it. They took the first Chicken Soup to over 150 publishers before it was published, and now it’s one of the biggest book series’ in the world. The way they never gave up: They used a set of principles to assure they would succeed in their endeavor and they never lost faith. Several years later, Jack was kind enough to the rest of us to put his principles on paper so the rest of us could benefit from his knowledge and experience. Be prepared for your life to change, but also be prepared to do some work to make that happen.
YOU Are a BADASS by Jen Sincero
Jen Sincero teaches at a level the rest of us can understand. These are not hard principles, but when you aren’t used to them, it’s nice to have someone who speaks your everyday language when educating you on how to improve your life. I hate to say she “dumbs it down” but that really is the way she works, and it’s actually fairly awesome. By the time you’ve read it, you don’t feel dumb at all. You actually feel thrilled that you have all the tools it takes to make your life exactly what you want it to be!
YOU are a BADASS at MAKING MONEY by Jen Sincero
This book has exactly the same pro’s as her original YOU are a BADASS. The difference here is that she talks specifically about how you can use these lessons to increase your cash flow and improve your overall financial existence. So many of us have ingrained beliefs about money that restrict us from actually making it the way we think we should. Jen shows exactly how to change your thoughts and actions to bring more money into your life.
The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a Fuck by Sarah Knight
One of the things I don’t think Jen and Jack really focus enough on is our “Fuck Budget,” and how it might effect your life and your opportunities to bring success into it. These days (especially us women), often spend so much time on everyone else’s stuff that we wouldn’t have the time or energy to focus on our own success if we wanted to! Therefore, while the principles in the previous three books are epic and will absolutely help you improve your life, this book will help you make room in your life to apply those principles. Which, in my opinion, is just as important, if not more!!!
High Performance Habits by Brendon Burchard
This one is new to me (I just finished), but in conjunction with all the others, I really think it’s a must read. This book’s claim to fame is that it shows you not only the principles, but then the way “High Performers” apply them in their own lives through specific habits they’ve created in their lives.
If you read these five books in the next five months and applied even just half of what they suggest, I can almost guarantee you’d see some huge changes in your life–all for the better. But hey, don’t take my word for it. Take the next half a year to read these books and by New Years, you’ll be shocked by your new goals and your new New Years’ resolutions.
