Winter break is approaching which means we are so much closer to letting go of the stress and pressure from this semester. It’s also a good time to catch up on any books that you’ve been wanting to read, but haven't gotten to. Today I am sharing a few self-help/business books that are on my bookshelf that I think you should read too. So get ready to fill your mugs with hot cocoa and get comfortable. Happy reading!
The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Manson
I feel this is a staple that everyone should read at least once. This book is for people who are looking for self-help, but who want to get right to the point. There’s no extra fluff telling you what to do and what not to do. It teaches you to stop worrying so much and to start focusing on what’s true and important to you. It also teaches you to stop looking for happiness and to start finding happiness with what’s in front of you.
Leave Your Mark by Aliza Licht
“Land Your Dream Job, Kill it in Your Career, Rock Social Media” is the book's motto, and that’s exactly what this book is about. If you’re interested in learning how to build your personal brand (or make it better) and how to shine in your career this book has you covered. Aliza takes you through her career journey with insider secrets and relatable content. I would say this is a must-read for Women in Business.
The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
This book is all about the Law of Attraction and using it to achieve health, happiness, success, and other things. Although it may not be everyone’s cup of tea as it may be controversial, if you find this sort of thing intriguing, it’s definitely worth the read. Stories from actual people are included to help convince you if you’re still skeptical about manifestation. This book is very eye-opening as it encourages people to focus on what they really want in life so that they can live their best life.
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Another must-read business book that should be on your shelf is this one. This book helps you climb up the ladder in your career in just 3 simple strategies: 6 ways to make people like you, 12 ways to win people to your way of thinking, and 9 ways to change people without evoking resentment. It also helps guide you to make any situation work for you, whether it be good or bad. I feel this is a staple that every person in business should have.
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
If you’ve recently found that you’re self-limiting from things that are making you happy, then this book is for you. This book teaches you to let go of your sufferings and helps you to experience freedom, happiness, and love from a new perspective. Whether you’re the type of person who’s always fighting with yourself or if you just need help opening your mindset, you need to add this to your shelf.
