The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

by Stephen R. Covey

We are the creator of our destiny. The book opens with an explanation of how many individuals who have achieved a high degree of outward success still find themselves struggling with an inner need for developing personal effectiveness and growing healthy relationships with other people. Covey believes the way we see the world is entirely based on our own perceptions. In order to change a given situation, we must change ourselves, and in order to change ourselves, we must be able to change our perceptions. The take-home for me are; • To always have the End in Mind in everything we do • Put First Things First • Think Win-Win • Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood- The power of effective communication • Synergize and more

Unshakeable: Your Financial Freedom

By Anthony Robbins

There are 3 types of people in this world: 1. people who make things happen 2. people who watch things happen 3. and people who wonder "what the hell happened??” Tony has written this book for the 2nd type of person, who (IMO) if they follow his advice, will awaken as the 3rd type of person. "Unshakeable" deals with this idea that the market has its ups and downs (and being out of the market is a terrible idea), so it is up to us to come up with strategies to protect our investments. One of my favourite things about this book compared to other books on personal finance is that Tony includes a whole section regarding the psychology of money. Tony Robbins is awesome for transforming people's lives by changing their mindsets. He talks about how we can have something called a "confirmation bias," in which we seek out information that confirms what we believe. I have found this book really inspirational.
