3 Books that will change your life forever

Do you know the one most common habit among the top 1% of the best of the best leaders? It's reading books and absorbing information. LEADERS ARE READERS. The average person reads two books a year but an average CEO reads 1 book a week. Elon Musk (Founder of Tesla, SpaceX, OpenAI, etc.) grew up reading two books a day, according to his brother. Billionaire entrepreneur, David Rubenstein reads six books a week. Mark Cuban, speeds more than three hours per day reading books. So why is reading books so crucial for success to be bestowed upon you? 



Reading is to your mind, like what exercise is to your physical body. It is your best mentor for success. Books have knowledge that is gained by decades of experience by successful people. So you can transfer decades of experiences that made those leaders successful in just a couple weeks or less! That is why this habit is powerful and justifies the statement, "THE MORE YOUR LEARN THE MORE YOU EARN." Today I’ll discuss 3 exceptional books that will change your perspective about life and make you think like a winner.

1. Think and Grow Rich: 

     
This book lays down the 13 main foundational rules for success in a clear, concise, and applicable way. This book has been called "The granddaddy of all motivational literature." The author, Napoleon Hill, had spent decades scrutinizing some of the wealthiest and most successful individuals at the time. The reason behind every principle is also explained by the author in a very realistic and logical manner. This book is a MUST for people aspiring to achieve the desired heights in their life. The author conveys that the circumstances we face in life are simply a reflection of our dominating thoughts. "Before you become a millionaire, you must learn to think like one." 

     2. Atomic Habits: 

    This book is a true game-changer. It is centered around the idea of how our smallest habits contribute majorly to our success and how we can alter and customize them in a way that favors our growth. It provides a scientific blueprint to make and break habits. This book is divided into 5 main sections. The first four sections explain the 4 laws of behavioral change. The last section is called 'Advanced Tactics' which is dedicated to helping people who have already inculcated new habits but wish to polish them. 

     3. Mindset: 

      This book covers the difference between the two types of mindsets. The growth v the fixed mindset. The fixed mindset is the belief that individual traits are innate and cannot evolve or develop. On the contradictory, the growth mindset believes that change is constant. People with a growth mindset possess the skill of embracing their failures instead of dwelling on them and making them a stagnant part of their identity. Through real-life biographical examples of great people like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, the author Carol Dweck helps us realize the significance of our mindset when it comes to sculpting our lives to the shape of success. At the end of the book, Dweck provides a questionnaire for readers to reflect on their own life and apply the mentioned principles.

    These were some of the most impactful books that left a great remark on my life and revoked my thought process. Hope you find these books beneficial to your life. Happy reading!

THE ULTIMATE SECRET BEHIND WAKING UP EARLY

Its Morning. Your alarm rings and creates this utterly annoying sound. You hit the snooze button and slide back into your cozy blanket.
