1. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by<\/em> Stephen R Covey<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the first books I read when I wanted to understand more about personal development and mindset, and it was a great one to start with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than 15 million copies sold, it\u2019s one that you can go back to time after time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, as I write this, I think I will read it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book shares the seven habits Stephen believes are imperative to becoming truly successful in life and business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He focuses these habits around the character ethics (i.e. what you are made up of inside) rather than just working on what people see on the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t read this book, you will still recognise a lot of these principles, concepts, and quotes that are often referenced in so many other books on the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. You Are A Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness And Start Living An Awesome Life by Jen Sincero<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes when it comes to mindset you need gentleness, kindness and love and sometimes you need a straight-talking kick up the rear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is what you get when you read You Are A Badass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book is also a good introduction to mindset as Jen herself shares that she was into the spiritual\/self-help world. But she also knew that even though her life was OK, she wanted to get more out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She went on a journey of reading all the books, going to all the events, and trying all the different ways she could to create a better life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book is her summary of the things that worked and her take on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This read will help you become more self-aware, understand what you want in life, and give you the courage to go for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People can often think that mindset is all about meditation and being Zen. But sometimes we just want someone to give us something practical that we can do to make a difference in our life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mel shares a simple but highly effective strategy to changing your life. It\u2019s so simple that Mel herself talks about how it sounds like a gimmick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this book proves that this strategy is rooted in science and proves exactly why it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She shares how feelings and emotions have a big effect on what we do (or don\u2019t do) in our lives. Using the five second rule, Mel shows you how to get past those feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also gives practical tips on staying productive and having a morning routine that sets you up for success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things I love about this book is her personal story and how she used the strategy to improve her own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Think Like A Monk by Jay Shetty<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The premise of this book is about finding a way to tune out of the external world and focus more on ourselves, who we are, and our values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By doing this, we can move towards gratefulness, service, and compassion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jay believes that this is the way for people to live a more fulfilled, happy, and meaningful life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jay doesn\u2019t just share why we should think like a monk, though. The book is packed with practical strategies such as the spot, stop, and swap technique as a way to address negativity and fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, the abundance of concepts, ideas, and strategies to try, all supported by interesting stories, is one of the best things about this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever wanted something new in your life? Or wanted to get to the next level only to be stopped by something every time you try?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plot twist: what if it was you all along? This is what Gay talks about in The Big Leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if you\u2019re self-sabotaging? Every time you get close to something amazing, you might be the one stopping yourself from achieving it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But why would you do that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gay explains that we self-sabotage to protect ourselves, because this change is taking us out of our comfort zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, he has some advice for how we can move through the sabotage using practical strategies such as the Upper Limit Mindset and working in your Zone of Genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
