7 Best Books To Read When You Need Motivation

By Catherine Brooks


Motivation is not for the lowest beings in the society. If fact, the most successful persons require the inspiration to keep going. As they say, getting to the top is easy, the task is maintaining your position. Reading has been listed as one of the most effective ways of staying at the top of your game. Here are the best books to read when you feel out of wind in whichever aspect of your life.

The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People has been termed as a motivation masterpiece. It is written by Stephen Covey and provides a road map to life. Though it sometimes comes as too preachy, it has a lesson with every flip you make. While many successful people have read this title, it appears to have a new insight no matter the number of times you read.

How to Win Friends and Influence People is the work of Dale Carnegie. It is a classic title on how relationships will determine your happiness or sadness. Though it takes its lessons from business, the author suggests that people are the best fuel to success. After all, every action will affect or be influenced by a person. By improving your relationships with other people, you have a better chance of succeeding.

There is a mystery that surrounds every millionaire. Their stories appear to be laden with luck. However, for Napoleon Hill, there are common behaviors, thoughts and practices that create a millionaire. These traits are what he explores in Think and Grow Rich. For him, wealth, health, happiness and success in general do not result from greed and luck as is thought to be the case.

Antony Robins thinks that there is a giant inside every person and that it should be awakened. This is the motivation behind his title, Awaken the Giant Within. The writer is very blunt in his approach to motivation. His focus is on training the body and the mind to achieve big things. He challenges everyone to take full control of his financial, emotional, physical and mental destiny.

There is a lot of claim and focus on immediate results and actions by present day motivation speakers and writers. However, this message was delivered in a different manner by James Allen in 1902. It was packaged in a book called As a Man Thinketh. The title claims that your success or failure will be determined by your thoughts. Your thoughts will result in a personality that will dictate who you become.

Every day, you are involved in selling your personality as a spouse, leader, employee, business person, etc. This reason drove OG Mandino into writing The Greatest Salesman on Earth. The message contained in the book is that every encounter is about selling your point of view. Your happiness will depend on how well you judge your target buyer and how favorable the deal will be to you.

The Power of Positive Thinking is the work of an excellent writer called Normal Vincent. It has been referred as heretic because it takes away the shine from a god centric world. However, for Norman and other sociologists, psychologists and scientists, a healthy and happy person is one who engages positive thoughts.
