I've been reading 100 books per year on average during the past decade. So obviously I get the usual question of what books I recommend. Well, Here're my top 4 favorite books of all times, which influenced me into who 1 am today.
1. Think A Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
One of the biggest bestsellers of all times. Napoleon Hill spent two decades analyzing over 500 successful men like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and John D. Rockefeller to discover how they did it The result of Hill's research is in Think & Grow Rich —13 steps to achieve your goal, whatever it is. All other self-help books are just copies of Hill's book first published in 1937,
2. Psychocybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.
Another bestseller and the only self-help book you'll need next to Think Grow Rich. Maxwell Maltz was a plastic surgeon who was amazed that some patients still felt ugly after surgery （外科手术）.That's when he discovered they also needed reconstruction work inside- their "self-image". Everything about how to use the “mind-body” connection to achieve your goals, and how to feel confident about your body is inside this book.
3. Talent is Overrated by Geoff Colvin.
This book drives the point home that success in any Held is not determined by genetics or talent but deliberate practice. Colvin uses examples from world class achievers like Tiger Woods, Jack Welch, Warren Buffet, Mozart to prove that they all got theirs through years of practice-the 10,000 hours rule. You'll reexamine your beliefs about what it takes to succeed and superchange your motivation after reading Colvin's book.
4. Mastery by George Leonard.
This book also stresses that practice is the secret of success in anything. Leonard explains that mastership never ends-you will never have perfect technique and be able to stop. Instead you'll keep learning, improving, and hitting plateaus 期）.The big point in Mastery is that plateaus are vital for improving your skills and that you therefore must start enjoying them instead of getting impatient or quitting like most guys do.
