Books I'm reading this month (April 2017)

March was about revisiting many of my old favorite books. I love revisiting old books I've read in the past. It amazes me how I can gain new insights from the same information depending on what's going on in my life, my mental state, etc.

Many of you have asked me to keep a log of the books I share on Instagram and Instagram stories. I'll be posting these lists every month. If you're looking for my core list of book recommendations, click here.

The Daily Stoic – Ryan Holiday

The philosophy of Stoicism is essentially a bunch of powerful mindset shifts. I've been a fan of Ryan Holiday for awhile and he does a great job clarifying this ancient philosophy into bite-size nuggets.

Awaken the Giant Within – Tony Robbins (audio)

Tony covers a lot of fundamental principles from developing new habits to challenging old beliefs. A classic I revisit often.

Anything You Want – Derek Sivers

One of my all-time favorite books on the entrepreneur mindset. It will change the way you think about owning and running a business, guaranteed. It has so much simple, straightforward, and practical wisdom in just 84 short pages.

The Alchemist – Paolo Coelho

The Alchemist is one of those timeless stories whose lessons stay with you forever. It resonated with me on such a deep level the first time I read it and still to this day, it gives me goosebumps when I re-read this magical fable.

Motivational Quotes to Get the Blood Moving – Marcus Almond

I stumbled on this book in a bookstore in Brooklyn. It jumped out at me. I was pleasantly surprised to find it is a compilation of original quotes by the author with brief explanations.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind – Joseph Murphy

My favorite part of the book is that the author shows you how to put this principle into practice and make it work for you.
