You Become What You Think About Most of the Time [BEST OF]

In 'The Obstacle Is the Way', Ryan Holiday presents a framework for turning obstacles into successes. Drawing from the philosophy of Stoicism and the writings of Marcus Aurelius, Holiday outlines three disciplines: perception, action, and will. He illustrates these principles with historical anecdotes from figures such as John D. Rockefeller, Amelia Earhart, Ulysses S. Grant, and Steve Jobs. The book emphasizes the importance of perception in shaping one's response to obstacles, the need for intentional and creative action, and the cultivation of will to persist through challenges. Holiday argues that by adopting these Stoic principles, individuals can transform their obstacles into opportunities for growth and success.

In 'The Strangest Secret', Earl Nightingale distills his lifetime of research on human motivation into a simple success formula. The book, which originated as a motivational speech for his insurance agency's sales staff, became a highly successful recording that sold over one million copies and earned a Gold Record. Nightingale's central message is that 'we become what we think about', and he provides a 30-day test to help readers apply this principle to achieve personal, professional, and financial success. The book is endorsed by Nightingale-Conant and remains a powerful and influential message in the self-improvement field.
