The Deep End
Yes, yes, yes. 18 reminders if you’re starting to feel down, turn it around. This book had me start my “summer of yes” where I said yes to everything just like the movie Yes Man, best stories came from that, still reread this one on occa...
Really liked this one. I’m a big fan of the “less thinking more doing” when it comes to business, this book put words to that really well, would recommend.
This is one of my top picks that changed the course of my life. It changed my impression of what success is, and what my work life could be like. It opened my mind to new levels of productivity and lifestyle. No you won't just work 4 hou...
This book seems to be timeless, it continues to be relevant not just in my loving relationships but at work, with family, and with friends too. If you’re looking for “that thing you’ve been missing” when navigating the relationships in y...
Highly recommended! This is one of the books that started the transformation for me. I go back and reread it every year or two and each time it pushes me to further change and improve what I’m doing. That’s why it’s one of my top picks!
This book has been a top recommended book for me for years. I tell everyone about it. Money doesn’t have to be hard, and this book shows you how to make it easy. So grateful for this book
Man, this book really finally “gave me permission” to just “trust my gut”. It’s a lot less stressful when you do. And even years later, I totally agree with the books analysis that your gut is right 97+% of the time. Definitely recommend...
Damn, this book is SO helpful! A wonderful systematic approach to choraling the craziness and scattered thoughts of your brain and creating things with it. Also, a systematic approach to “remembering everything”. Absolutely recommend thi...
This book helped change the course of my life for the better! I finally understood the power of checklists and started implementing them in my daily life. Before I walked out the door in the morning, before I left my desk for meetings, b...
Appreciate not only the concept but the examples, the “stories” she told as examples. Feel like I get the concept AND how to apply it, which is a one two punch. Yep, would definitely recommend this book. Putting it on my most recommended...
Great perspective and a lot of mind opening moments reading this one. Has helped me recognize a lot of unhealthy dynamics in friendships as well as family. Really grateful for this book.
This book is a must read, especially with AI becoming more widely used. There’s just more noise, coming from everywhere. Focus and attention are becoming your biggest superpowers, and this book is a top read. Recommend this one for anyon...
This book is a home-run for anyone that manages or supervises others. Really practical tips, and starting it as a story (they call it a fable) was an excellent way to make it relatable and practical. Adding this to my most recommended li...
Not gonna lie, I don’t love the writing of this book. Written by an old Indian chief which I couldn’t really identify with. That said, the 4 agreements themselves are something I use daily. I read to myself and remind others daily, “Don’...
Start here! This is a top pick for a reason. It’s timeless, and many of the concepts have inspired other major productivity authors and movements. One of the best books to read to improve your personal productivity.
This is a must read for people in modern day relationships. A necessary companion that many people miss to the 5 Love Languages.
I often felt out of control in my relationships, constantly being surprised when something went sideways. ...
My whole life whenever anyone in society did something stupid my parents would sarcastically say “proud graduate of the Dale Carnegie Institute on How To Win Friends and Influence People”. Truly agree this is a staple for interpersonal s...
I’d heard about this book quite a bit before I read it, and ive been donating and downsizing ever since. I love it, I feel freer than ever. Changed the way I fold things in my drawers, feel more organized, love all of this. Highly recomm...
I reread this book to keep it fresh every few years. It helps me to think productively about the difference between the sexes, and the way they approach things. I also recognize now how some men are more Venus, and some women are more Ma...
I wish wish wish, someone would have given this book to me as a young single man. It answers many of those questions you have, “should I pay for a date?” “How should I show up in my friendships?” Etc etc. Its truly a great guide on a way...
This is an excellent book on leadership, especially in the modern office workplace.
This is the type of book where I caught myself taking notes, and definitely thought it would be beneficial to reread this from time to time, maybe ever...
I definitely recommend this book. For everything from business to family issues. I’ve read getting to yes and all the other big negotiating books, and the author of this one really struck me when he said something along the lines of “com...
This is such an important read for leaders. Taking the minute, for both the good and the bad, is so important. With more and more communication becoming electronic, the feedback from leaders is sometimes lost, or delayed. It’s more impor...
Ari's original book Less Doing, More Living: Make Everything in Life Easier was the book that planted some seeds in my head on how to live easier and inspired me on how to improve. That book was very specific for its year and included to...
When it comes to being overwhelmed, this book offers a solution. It also doesn’t overwhelm you with too many either, by the end I think you’ll truly appreciate the one thing.
With the uncertainty in the world I feel like people sometimes tend to think that they should just get an MBA because it’s something they could do, and it would “probably” be worth it but they’re not sure how. I actually don’t think this...
A great book to explain the concepts behind being more productive. It doesn't give much advice on how to get things accomplished or actionable tips & hacks. It does a great job with important concepts on being proactive and on where to s...
Wow! Yep, I bumped this one up to the “must read” list for 3 reasons. 1) clearly explains why you forget. 2) helps you forgive yourself for forgetting stuff, and reinforces why my system of writing things down is a pro move, and 3) helps...
Yes! I think the message in this book is timely and so important! If you’re feeling overwhelmed with everything going on in your life, I think this is a great read!
This is a great book for the perspective as you move up throughout your career. You need to evolve, to play different roles as you grow, so "what got you hear won't get you there" will be a great mantra as you move up.
Really appreciate this book. I grew up an A-Student, and I've challenged myself throughout my adult life to relearn to be better, and excel as a C Student. Might not agree with everything he says in this book, but finished it and wanted ...
Wow, really motivated after reading this book. I feel like I always knew sleep was important, but now I understand why, and it’s game on. I’m a productivity guy, and this is knowledge you need in order to achieve your highest potential. ...
Good recommendations in this Book. I really appreciate the way the author gives you very specific steps and things you can do right now to help with those feelings of overwhelm and finding more balance. She addresses a lot of different c...
