Book Recommendations
People are always asking me for recommendations on books, podcasts, and other resources. Here are some great books, podcasts, and services that you might find helpful.
The Four Agreements
by Don Miguel Ruiz
In The Four Agreements, bestselling author don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, The Four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.
Crush It
by Gary Vaynerchuk
This book is as fresh and relevant as it was the day it was written in 2009. We think that everything changes so fast, and yet the points he makes during the 2009 recession are completely relevant to our situation in 2020. While some of the platforms have changed, the basic opportunities presented by the Internet are just as relevant.
I highly recommend this book, and if you get it in audiobook form, it is read by Gary Vee himself with quite a few asides and bits of bonus content.
Time Warrior
by Steve Chandler
A book called Time Warrior with a swordsman on the cover seems like a pretty aggressive approach to time management. It’s true. In this book, Steve teaches us to prioritize our own needs, not to carry around the stress of uncompleted tasks, and a form of productive ruthlessness needed to control our schedules, our business, and our lives.
How to Win Friends & Influence People
By Dale Carnegie
This is one of the original classics of business and working with people. It has some of the fundamental concepts including the precursor of the WIIFM concept, conversational strategies to build better relationships, and just generally a lot of good ways to think about how to get people on your side.
