What's your favourite book? Let me know your thoughts:)

[@samgaudet2480]

Think and grow rich! All time great

[@derekwile1081]

The 4 Hour Work Week was the first book that really shifted my mindset. I would have to say that one was the catalyst for me.

[@andrewmalm2124]

Influence by Robert Cialdini. If Carnegies masterpiece is a bachelors degree in human interactions, Influence is the Master’s level on the topic. I reread both of them yearly along with several others you named. Found a couple of gems here to check out Dan, thanks for the list, great content as always.

Having read 'Masonic Tricks for Making Money,' I was impressed by its thorough exploration of how Masons have historically generated wealth and the practical insights it offers for individuals seeking financial success. The book adeptly demystifies their strategies, making them accessible to anyone eager to improve their financial situation. Highly recommended for those looking to learn from history's successful wealth builders.

I was big in books, especially Jim rhon, Brian Tracey, Zig ziglar and of course Tony robins, but strayed a little, because some books like Brian’s eat that frog was too taxing on drilling one into the ground work work work, and yet doesn’t give the criteria’s of the actual properties of the steps. I turned to our basic spiritual and holy books, Bible, Dhammapada, Bagavahd Gita, Quran, and others, just as good, but found myself in a time void when I relied only on them, because you pick at the time differentials, which can also be taxing on the mind, when you read proverbs and eccesliaties from the Bible, you get exactly what Jim rhon teached, but it than comes very political, which sometimes can be a turn off because of the political spectrum, you’d be bombarded with too much debates of what’s real and what’s not, in a never ending array of strife. Coming back to guys like Tony Robins book money, you then see the basic steps are almost not really different than the Bible’s teachings which than shows merit of it does work, but at a cost of being fine tuned only with ambitious people, as soon as you’re around lazy people, or people who see life as frivolous and chase after vanity, than you’re pretty much with the wrong crowd, being around such people can sink your ship who only wanna party, get drunk, and do unbenefial things. But I’m so glad I came across your video, for I’ll give these books of modernity another go, that’s the only way really, other wise I’ll be stick in a spiritual warfare only, which will lead to frowardmess of arguing and debating. Pretty much useless. Thanks again friend, willl click in these books on my kindle and get the paper forms of them. Time is of an essence, so gotta move quick. Can’t afford anymore leaking hulls in my boat, still trying to pull myself to my ship, for its career over job, and wealth over riches. Thanks again. Salute 🫡

*Why isn’t your book on this list?!?! IT SHOULD BE!!!!!*

[@LAStreetPreacher]

When I was 14 I first came across a book in a thrift store or the Salvation Army...can't remember which. It was called "How To Win Friends And Influence People." That was very inspiring and I thought I had found something wonderful. Later when I was told by a Sunday school teacher about salvation through Jesus Christ I started reading the Bible and that became my favorite book with answers to all or most of my questions and I began memorizing various Proverbs and other scripture verses. There is nothing like the Bible to inspire and educate you about the nature of man, sin, salvation and the purpose of life.

Whats the use of reading too many books? Just to become a youtuber and create a KZbin channel to convince others ?

Yes it’s possible for someone to read many books. You can read faster than an audiobook. You can still do both.
