10 Best Motivational Books to Read Now to Make 2018 Amazing

I don’t know about you but I’ve already made some pretty lofty goals for 2018. I need a little push here and there to remind myself that I am capable and worthy of achieving them all. Without further ado, I present THE LIST.

You Are a Badass (How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life) by Jen Sincero

One of my closest friends loves this book and she is breaking down barriers and meeting her goals daily. Jen Sincero tells it as it is in a way that is easy to read, honest and relatable to your own life circumstances.

You Are a Badass at Making Money (Master the Mindset of Wealth) by Jen Sincero 

I am currently reading/listening to this book on Audible but I think it is one of those books that is better on paper that you can highlight, put sticky notes on and flip back to your notes whenever you need it. 

The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Timothy Ferriss

An Amazon reviewer said that ” It acts as the ultimate guidebook to entrepreneurial streamlining and how to automate your business.” I work two jobs from home and I would love to do them better and faster. If you want the same thing then pick up your copy.

Unfu*k Yourself by Gary John Bishop

Unfu*k Yourself promises to help you get over your biggest barrier, yourself. If you’re in a rut and looking to unleash the power that you know lives within you go on and grab this.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck-A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson

This says it best:

“Human beings are flawed and limited—”not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.” Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.”

Get Your Sh*t Together (How to Stop Worrying About What You Should Do So You Can Finish What You Need to Do and Start Doing What You Want to Do) by Sarah Knight

This book helps you do just what it says, get your shit together. It guides you on organizing your fucks that need to be given and helps organize your mind so you can do what needs to be done. Plus it’s funny.

The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck: How to Stop Spending Time You Don’t Have with People You Don’t Like Doing Things You Don’t Want to Do by Sarah Knight

This is an important life skill and I feel like I need to give this book to a few friends who have stretched themselves thin. You need to focus on what makes you happy and not so much on what makes others happy.
