7 Books That Will Change Your Life

No matter who you are or where you’re headed, there are two looming roadblocks that can stop you. One is a lack of confidence in your abilities, and two is a lack of knowledge. The reason that the human race has become such a staggering power over the earth is because of our unique ability to share knowledge. Rather than starting over with fundamental discovery as each new generation is born, we are constantly adding to previous discoveries. Standing on the shoulders of giants so that we can become even bigger giants, reaching far beyond what anyone could have imagined.

But only a select group of these successful people are ever lucky enough to be mentored by one of these powerhouses leaving the rest of us one other avenue – reading. Never underestimate the power of reading, as it not only teaches us through past failures and recent success but also energizes and inspires. And the only part of this process that can bog you down is wadding through the muck to get to the books that are worth a portion of your sit-down time. So we have taken care of that problem with these seven life-changing books for you to start with.
