Eckahr Tole - The power of Now
My big Toe - Thomas Campbell

Many great books in here I've to check out.

A few of my favourites:

The magic of thinking Big
The 10X Rule
The 4 hour work week
The 80/20 principle (although you get a quick introduction in the 4 hour work week to the topic it's worth to read it)
The richest man in babylon
Thinking, fast and slow

The War of Art by Steven Pressfield

The most important book I’ve ever read, and the book that has solved the problem most to develop effective companies, create a magazine and make an genuine and satisfying profession. It means me to crack through my inner level of resistance and make my genuine life, and live my genuine self. Crucial if you are an business owner, author, specialist, or any form of “creator”.

How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie

The 80/20 individual book is just Awesome. Acknowledging the principle, helps in vast ways. I read another book early this year talking about another principle the "10-80-10" principle. I was wondering if it wouldn't be the same. It's more of a delegating rule;

10- Is what you do; Planning and communication.

80- What your delegates do; [The hard work]

10- Is you adding cherry pie to the cake.

*And you always take credit for the work done.

Besides, so many other great books here..

He just pinpointed it somewhere, but the book is "How Successful People Think" by John C Maxwell. The 80/20 Individual is by Richard Koch..

for me -rich dad- by Robert Kiyosaki , and ...

-one thing- by Garry W. Keller

Am currently reading a book that has a set of rules and just at the beginning it advises to keep the book a secret from anybody. I can't imagine not breaking the rule, anyways "Rules Of ..." If anybody came across, it's a good hint.

here's my list

4 hour work week
the power of now
48 laws of power
the 50th law
mastery
art of seduction
33 strategies of war
art of war
rich dad poor dad
richest man in babylon
awareness
influence: the psychology of persuasion

For me it was Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell...thats the book that changed my mind into looking to the world as a whole massive illution that we are living...
Poor english drago...poor english

I couldn't name one book that made a huge impact. I would be the person who claims that reading in general made a huge difference in my life.

Pimpology by Pimpin Ken - I aint lying - its a good read.

think and grow rich - Napoleon hill

Power of Broke - daymond john - for the hustla

outliers - malcolm maxwell

This book fuckin' changed my life.

Think and Grow Rich - Change my mindset about how to think about riches and wealth. I have listened to the audio book probably 50 times. Started listening to it in the car when I was driving newspapers around at age 19.
Psycho Cybernetics - Thought me how self-image is in control of your behavior and personality, and by changing your own subconscious beliefs you can change yourself.
Mastery - The book that finally helped me to decide that I would do what I wanted to do with my life, not what anyone else wanted me to do. I don't want a regular job, I don't want marriage and I don't want children. Probably would end up with all of those eventually if I had not said "f**k it!"

Others:
The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins - Just gave me a broader perspective about life and things such as the different goals and strategies for mating that males and femals have in all species. Explains a lot of the differences in men and women from an evolutionary and biological perspective. Should probably read it again.
No More Mr. Nice Guy - Just helped me to realize that people who live just to please others are never appreaciated as others expect that from them and they end up depressed because they are dishonest. They never do what they actually want to do, but instead live in fear of others' opinions about them.
How to Win Friends and Influence People - Learned a lot, but I never actually put these ideas into practice because I just don't find other people interesting without there being some initial spark of interest.
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius - Basically 100 pages about stoic philosophy. It is a practical way of thinking about life that helps to keep you sane and balanced in a crazy world.
The Republic by Plato - I have been thinking a lot about what an ideal country or city or world would be like, and this book gave me a lot more to think about.

There are probably more, but these are on the top of my mind.

Why Worry, i think it's a buddhist book
