I read a ton of self-growth literature, which means I’m turning into my father. This is part 2 of a 4 part series of books I read during times in my life. I’m all about growing and developing as a person. There’s been times in my life where I really needed to grow. These self-help books have helped me sharpen myself, personality, and become the best version of myself. If you don’t think this is your jam, go ahead and log off now.

“The Obstacle Is The Way” by Ryan Holiday

This book constantly comes up in my Podcasts and videos. It’s a book I continuously go back to for advice and growth, because it’s based on stoicism and basically “how to get what you want in life” mentality. It’s practical and tangible.

“I Can’t Make This Up” by Kevin Hart

This is an autobiography and self-help book. He’s a decent guy and worked really hard to get there and he’s had a lot of hard situations in life and how he’s overcome them.

“How To Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie

This book was introduced to me early in my life, after much balking, I went ahead and read it. Dale had a lot of wisdom early in his life and his message is relevant to today’s society. This book has helped me better empathize with clients and also learn what drives and motivates people.

“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*CK” by Mark Manson

This is not a book about hedonism or don’t care about what others think about you. This is an idea that you only have so much that you can care about an to cherish the things that matter to you and not get hung up on the stuff that doesn’t matter. This is written in a modern context and it a great read.

“Rise and Grind” by Daymon John

The creator of FUBU talks about work ethic and personal growth and development is part of your work ethic. It follows successful people and what their daily routine looks like. This book helps you get in the mindset of accomplished people.
