Are there other titles you consider life changing? Please list them in the Comments below. Thank you.
I’ve heard great things about Rich Dad, Poor Dad and How to Win Friends. I believe these books can be very helpful but I worry that too many people read them without really taking action to positively change their life. I believe motivation to change must be internal and not external. Also would be interesting to expand the category to include motivation podcast which are easier to consume.
I agree with you, Matt. The majority of us are what I would consider knowledge rich and execution poor. For some reason we let ourselves down by not following through on the knowledge gained through books, webinars, podcasts, etc. You probably hit the answer by stating the motivation to change must come from within.
