I just finished 12 week year and Miracle Morning. Looking forward to putting both to work in my life within the next week or so.

I decided to give I Will Teach You To Be Rich a shot - I feel I lack knowledge in personal finance.

Got a ton of Amazon gift cards as gifts, so I will be ordering a big pile of books soon!

I'm currently reading Quiet... it's a book for introverts and definitely a must read for us introverts who struggle to co-exist in a world full of loud mouths and attention whores.
Man this will have to be one of my next reads. I really struggle with this, and my niche is just packed with these types.

I got a few books for Christmas that I'm going to get through this year.

Brandes on Value: The Independent Investor by Charles Brandes -- this book is geared towards value investing.
Business Adventures by John Brooks -- supposedly this is one of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett's favorite books.
Benjamin Franklin: An American Life by Walter Isaacson -- kept seeing this book recommended by some big names.

My goal is to read 20 books this year. I've been working on reading faster as recommended in another thread so I made a big list of books I want to read and I'm almost certain I will probably read more than that.

For any of you guys who are interested, don't be afraid to check out your local library. Even if your local library doesn't have a certain book you can have it shipped to the library from other libraries. That's what I'm planning on doing this year.

Just started Capital in the 21st Century by Thomas Piketty. Not very far in but his writing style is annoying me a little bit, other than that seems like a quality read.

Bruh, no one is fully an introvert tho I understand where you're coming from. That said there are loud mouths and attention whoring introverts. I should know because I'm an introvert myself though I can be very charismatic and entertaining where you wouldn't believe I was an introvert. It depends on the environment and who I'm with though but when I'm 100% comfortable which I am with a few people I become the extrovert.

Paulo coelho - The Alchemist
I let a friend of mine borrow this book because I thought it had a lot of good hidden messages. He read about 10 pages over the course of about 3 months. Then out of the blue, one day, he came in and gave it back to me and said he ended up reading it in one day and thought it was one of the best books he ever read.

I agree. One of my favorites. I plan on reading it again soon.

Just finished "The Miracle Morning". The book itself isn't anything amazing, but I like the idea. Now working on making TMM my everyday habit. I am very possitive about it.

I'm just finishing up EDGY Conversations: How Ordinary People Can Achieve Outrageous Success by Dan Waldschmidt.

I bought it for $0.99 on Kindle and was surprised by how good it was (much of it might not be "new" but his writing and stories are powerful). I just checked Amazon and it's still only $0.99 and I'd recommend that you check it out...

Forget just checking it out...

I mean buy it. ;)

I've got a stack of books by my bed that I'm working through:

Awaken the Giant Within
- Tony Robbins (read it before, but recently started reading it again).

An Introduction to Psychology (can't remember by whom, but its the university type handbooks, so it often succeeds in putting me asleep - the theory bits that is).

How life imitates chess - Gary Kasparov (I'm about halfway through this one - was wondering how to become great in chess/life, and this book seemed like a fit).

Successfull Interpersonal Communication - Another handbook (still to start reading it).

How to have kick-a$$ ideas - Chris Barez-Brown. (I'm about 75% through this book, and so far I think it is a great book. It has great exercises, lots of pictures/drawing that makes it an easy read, and is immensely useful in coming up with creative ideas to make the most of your opportunities (a rephrase from 'problems' :)).

Your idea can make you rich - Its from the guys who run the Dragon's Den. So far I'm not really impressed as it feels like the 'same-old' entrepreneur advice in a million other books, but I'm not done reading it completely yet, so I might still change my opinion.

The Complete Guide to Flipping Properties - Steve Burgess (I'm still to start reading this one though - I bought it thinking it would be specific to the UK market, but it isnt, so I'll read it further into the future).

Thats it for my currently reading/unread stack next to my bed.

What are you reading?

Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert B. Cialdini

I'm more than half way through this book.

It's interesting to see how people make decisions and how you can present things in different ways to get different outcomes.

"Eat that frog!" by Brian Tracy

Recently I read a lot of design "logodesignlove", "Design Elements A Graphic Style Manual", architecture books, and "The Source" by Ayn Rand. The last one is very, very good.

Next is Marketing by Philip Kotler.

I finished reading Stephen R. Covey "The 7 Habbits of Highly Effective People" and now I'm reading "Think and Grow Big" by Napoleon Hill

I am actually reading Think and Grow Big now, and was considering to read the first book you mentioned afterwards. How was it?

Currently reading The 4-Hour Work Week again. I find it interesting that alot of the stuff taught and discussed here on the ff has ingrained much of the material in me.

Also currently reading The Magic Ladder To Success Napoleon Hill. It caught my attention when I was in the library picking up the 4hww and it actually turned out to be quite good.

Just started Unstoppable Confidence The Power of NLP, Kent Sayre Not sure yet about this one.

Also reading Building an Import Export Business, Kenneth Weiss Very dry

Just finished Psycho Cybernetics, Maxwell Maltz Thanks @Silverhawk851 for recommending it somewhere on the forum. It was good. What made it even better was I got the audio book on it off of youtube and the reader was Dan Kennedy. So very cool.

A few weeks ago I finished the One Minute Manager, Kenneth Blanchard a very good book on managing people

Aaand I just went through the summary of The One Thing by Gary Keller (twice) It looks like a good book and I'll be digging into that soon.

I am actually reading Think and Grow Big now, and was considering to read the first book you mentioned afterwards. How was it?

I would gladly recommend that book. It is very good book full of useful information. It teaches you that "Positive thinking" is not enough, that everyone has his own "map" his own paradigm and in order to be succesful you have to use the correct ones.

"It is hard to find a place(reach a goal) in New York if you have the map of Chicago!"
