4. Blink

By Malcolm Gladwell

Author Malcolm Gladwell revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant-in the blink of an eye-that actually aren’t as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work-in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?

By Patterson, Grenny, McMillan and Switzler

Learn how to keep your cool and get the results you want when emotions flare.

Crucial Conversations gives you the tools you need to step up to life’s most difficult and important conversations, say what’s on your mind, and achieve the positive resolutions you want.

 

6. The Secret

By Rhonda Byrne

The Secret is a best-selling 2006 self-help book by Rhonda Byrne, based on the earlier film of the same name. It is based on the pseudo-scientific ‘law of attraction’ which claims that thoughts can change the world directly. Byrne re-introduces a pseudo-scientific notion originally popularized by persons such as Madame Blavatsky and Norman Vincent Peale, which suggests that thinking about certain things will make them appear in one’s life. Byrne provides alleged examples of historical persons who have achieved this. The book has sold 20 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 50 languages.

 

7. Money, Master the Game

By Tony Robbins

In his first book in two decades, Anthony Robbins turns to the topic that vexes us all: How to secure financial freedom for ourselves and for our families. “If there were a Pulitzer Prize for investment books, this one would win, hands down” (Forbes.com).

Based on extensive research and interviews with some of the most legendary investors at work today (John Bogle, Warren Buffett, Paul Tudor Jones, Ray Dalio, Carl Icahn, and many others), Tony Robbins has created a 7-step blueprint for securing financial freedom. With advice about taking control of your financial decisions, to setting up a savings and investing plan, to destroying myths about what it takes to save and invest, to setting up a “lifetime income plan,” the book brims with advice and practices for making the financial game not only winnable—but providing financial freedom for the rest of your life.

 

8. Emotional Intelligence

By David Walton

Emotional intelligence is the innate potential to feel, use, communicate, recognize, remember, describe, learn from, manage, understand, and explain emotions. Introducing Emotional Intelligence teaches the reader how to become more aware of his or her own emotions, and shows how being more aware of others emotions can improve personal and professional relationships.

 

9. The Four Agreements

By Don Miguel Ruiz

The book is written by Mexican author Don Miguel Ruiz, a spiritualist known for his neoshamanistic works.
