5 Best Motivational Books
The One Thing
by Gary Keller with Jay Papasan
People are using this simple, powerful concept to focus on what matters most in their personal and work lives. By focusing their energy on one thing at a time people are living more rewarding lives.
“I love the book “The One Thing” by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. If you have time to read that, maybe not this week, but over the weekend, just read it real quick. Read the first couple parts, at least. That can get you to focus. You may have heard this so many times, but that’s my key trick. Get the noise out, and focus.” – Raj Bhaskar (Millionaire)
The Dip
by Seth Godin
** Listen to my interview with the author Seth Godin Here
In this iconic bestseller, popular business blogger and bestselling author Seth Godin proves that winners are really just the best quitters. Godin shows that winners quit fast, quit often, and quit without guilt until they commit to beating the right Dip
“One of my colleagues Seth Godin wrote a great book called The Dip. It basically makes one big point. He says there’s this American idea that you never should quit anything you do. The person who doesn’t give up always wins. He says actually that’s not necessarily the case. Sometimes quitters do win. That’s different. That’s not contradictory to the concept of the pursuit of mastery, what I’m suggesting earlier. It’s not about dabbling. It’s not about a little bit of this, little bit of that, little bit of this. It’s about having the fortitude to look at what you’re doing and identifying the dip, as he calls it.” – Michael Port (Millionaire)
The Miracle Morning
by Hal Elrod
**Listen to my interview with the author Hal Elrod Here
What’s being widely regarded as “one of the most life changing books ever written” may be the simplest approach to achieving everything you’ve ever wanted, and faster than you ever thought possible.
“Of course, Hal Elrod’s very well known for his miracle morning routine, which is great.” – Kevin Kruse (Millionaire)

Think and Grow Rich is a 1937 personal development and self-help book by Napoleon Hill.

Not strictly a motivational book but “The Millionaire next door” is a brilliant read. It’s an outline of a survey of millionaires in the US in the 90s. However, it’s highly inspirational in its results. Whilst I’ll leave those for you to find out, one of the most interesting results is that the majority of millionaires do not inherent their wealth…there’s hope for us all yet!
The only motivation book that fits the genre is The Miracle Morning in my own humble opinion and the rest are more business related. The Miracle Morning is really an awesome and mind-blowing book that really encourages me to wake up early and get the important things done first.
I also highly recommend The One Thing to anyone who wishes to start his/her businesses. A MUST READ!
