What Should You Read to Take Control of Your Life?

"1. Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins “The path to success is to take massive, determined action.” “It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.” “If you can’t, you must. If you must, you can.” “Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy.” “Your destiny is shaped in your moments of decision.” 2. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey “Begin with the end in mind.” “Be proactive.” “Put first things first.” “You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage—pleasantly, smilingly, non-apologetically—to say ‘no’ to other things.” “We see the world not as it is, but as we are.” "

"3. Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans “You can’t know where you’re going until you know where you are.” “There are multiple great lives within you.” “You can’t engineer your way to a happy life—you have to design it.” “Wayfinding is the ancient art of figuring out where you're going when you don't actually know your destination.” “Failure is a form of forward progress.” 4. Essentialism by Greg McKeown “If you don’t prioritize your life, someone else will.” “The way of the Essentialist means living by design, not by default.” “Sometimes what you don’t do is just as important as what you do.” “Dare to say no.” “Focus is about saying no.”"

"5. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle “Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.” “Wherever you are, be there totally.” “You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.” “Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.” “Whatever you fight, you strengthen, and what you resist, persists.” 6. Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend “You are not responsible for other people’s feelings.” “No is a complete sentence.” “Boundaries define us.” “We can’t manipulate people into swallowing our boundaries by sugarcoating them.” “When we accept others' boundaries, we are choosing to love in a mature way.”"

"7. You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero “What you choose to focus on becomes your reality.” “Your thoughts are powerful. Choose them wisely.” “Love yourself. You are a badass.” “Fear is for suckers.” “You’re responsible for what you say and do. You’re not responsible for whether or not people freak out about it.” 8. Grit by Angela Duckworth “Enthusiasm is common. Endurance is rare.” “Our potential is one thing. What we do with it is quite another.” “Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term goals.” “Effort counts twice.” “Success is never final; failure is never fatal.”"

"9. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* by Mark Manson “Not giving a f*ck does not mean being indifferent. It means being comfortable with being different.” “Who you are is defined by what you’re willing to struggle for.” “You can’t be an important and life-changing presence for some people without also being a joke and an embarrassment to others.” “You are always choosing.” “The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience.” 10. Drive by Daniel H. Pink “Human beings have an innate inner drive to be autonomous, self-determined, and connected to one another.” “Control leads to compliance; autonomy leads to engagement.” “Mastery is a mindset: It requires the capacity to see your abilities not as finite, but as infinitely improvable.” “People are more likely to be engaged when they do things because they matter, not just because they make money.” “We have three innate psychological needs—competence, autonomy, and relatedness.”"
