There comes a point in all our lives when we are completely lost.
No matter what we do or how hard we try, nothing seems to work. There
is confusion everywhere and it seems like there is no way around it.
This happens to all of us at some point, and it’s during these times
that we need some outside intervention to shake us up and get us out of
our state. If you are ever faced with such a situation, read any these
nine evergreen self-help books to get yourself back on track.
“As a general rule, if you don’t know what to do at any given day, spend at least some of your time helping someone else.”
In this book, the author challenges you to challenge the status quo
and make your own decisions for life. He constantly emphasizes how
dangerous it is to live the conventional life and urges you to build
your own “army.” However, one thing Guillebeau has done exceptionally
well is to pinpoint the two questions we should ask ourselves when we do
anything: “Why should I do this?” And, “What will happen if I don’t?”
Answering these will clarify many great responsibilities for you.
“If you are going to compete and you hope to win, always
go into the competition expecting to win and the outcome can become a
self-fulfilling prophecy.”
If you are ever lost in life due to the high expectations of yourself
and others, then this book has good news for you. The author says, “We
are better people when we expect more of ourselves. And we help others
become better when we expect more of them.” Think about it. The core
idea of the book is to help you set higher expectations, dream big and
make huge goals, because to reach to the top, you have to set high goals
and expect more from yourself than anyone else.
“The culture we have does not make people feel good about
themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture
doesn’t work, don’t buy it.”
This book should be your top priority to find the answers to many
questions in life. It has all the life lessons — from death, regret, and
family, to emotions, fear, aging, money, love, marriage, culture,
forgiveness, and many more. Morrie, the old professor with his great
wisdom on life explains to Mitch, his lifelong student, about all life’s
blissful and painful experiences when they meet every Tuesday.
“Warriors of light often ask themselves what they are doing here. Often they find their lives meaningful.”
You can’t go wrong if you consider this as the manual of your life.
No matter which point of your life you may be stuck on, this book will
clear all your doubts. Highly recommended for all the warriors of life.
“Get up early. There is something very special about the first few hours of morning.”
These wisdoms from “The Monk who sold his Ferrari” are the simple
rules for reaching one’s true potential. These are the simple yet potent
ideas for improving the quality of our life and how we can use simple
daily rituals to stand apart from the crowd.
“Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”
This is the book you need in times of absolute crisis. Often we
forget to be grateful when everything is going to plan, but we are lost
when everything goes wrong. And the main thing this author reminds us of
is to be grateful for what we have. Those who are grateful for
something will gain even more, but those who are not will find they lose
even that they already have.
“Start with the end in mind.”
The above quote is just one of the seven habits described in the book
but this habit alone is enough to take you from where you are to where
you want to be. In life, at all stages, you’ll be lost, defeated and
ridiculed. But when you have the end in mind, you will know that these
stages are not permanent. These are just the tough times you have to
pass in order to achieve the next milestone.
“Being honest at every level is really the most effective habit of all if you want to have massive success.”
Welcome to the “choose yourself era.” If you have ever stepped back
because of fear of others or external validation, then this book will
definitely help you take that first step forward before you even finish
the final page. The author challenges authority at every stage and asks
you to make your own path rather than depend on others for approval. He
explains in great detail what it means to choose yourself: to not to
keep waiting, fail fast, learn more, succeed like hell, break the rules
and make it happen.
“Once you create trust — genuine character and competence based trust — almost everything else falls into place.”
Covey places emphasis here on one quality that makes all the
difference: trust. He writes that when you go to work, your first
responsibility should be to build trust. In everything you do, from
relationships to the professional sphere, trust has its effect. And if
you have ever stepped back, this might be one of the reasons. Working on
building trust can really open many doors for you.
