Let’s go…

01 The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

by Robin Sharma

This book was originally self-published by Sharma, but it was so brilliantly executed that it was picked up by HarperCollins and became a number one best seller.

As one of many readers has reviewed —

“It’s a book that has a new meaning and a new perspective every time I read it. One of those books that can perhaps be read every 2 years.”

The reason this book adds value to your life is, it enables the reader to give their money meaning, to understand the importance of simplicity and to believe that you are more than your current circumstances. And readers, we will be featuring Sharma again a bit later in the article.

02 Make Your Bed

by William H. McRaven

This is one of the best reads you can give yourself and the lessons learned will hold steady throughout the rest of your life.

The make your bed concept stems from William H. McRaven who was the chancellor of the University of Texas as well as the United States Navy 4 star admiral who served as the 9th commander of the United States Special Operations Command. His most notable claim to fame was his 2014 commence in the dress at the University of Austin which today has over 14 million views on YouTube.

Key takeaways include starting your day with a completed task. Life is not fair, get over it and that grit and determination trump talent. It’s definitely worth spending a couple of hours on.
