What book (besides TMF and Unscripted) was your game change ??

"On the Shortness of Life" by Seneca

This short book is a great anti-dote against procrastination and wasting your time.

"Anything You Want" by Derek Sivers

Another quick read which digs in to the reason to start a business is for serving the customers and for fun. If you follow these principles the money will follow.

"Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story" by Arnold Schwarzenegger

This thick a$$ book (500+ pages) is worth your time because Arnie explains how he dreamed, visioned and realized success on the highest level in business, bodybuilding, cinema and politics.

I've gone through book summaries of 1500+ business books, those are BY FAR the best ones, 4HWW is a bit overrated, but still interesting and handy:

If you want a specific book recommendation though, here are the best of the best out of the 1500:

Fisker is a good writer, and his thinking is 30 degrees out of phase to mine, which made me reexamine some of my belief systems.

The math is also good. By far the simplest explanation I'd seen of what it took to 'retire'. Since this book came out much of the material it contains has been re-presented around the web, but at the time I read it, it was pretty revolutionary (at least to me).

The way of the superior man by david deida. This book opened my eyes in many ways - about myself as a man, women, promises, living on the edge and so on. It's a easy, fast read. 168 pages only. Definitely recommend for a man who respects himself.

10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job – Steve Pavlina

www.stevepavlina.com

I read this about 2 years before I stumbled upon TMF . The blogger himself has some really......eccentric interests, but his commentary on not getting a job is spot-on.

Thanks for sharing it, I needed to read this.
