  • So here it is. The five books that changed my life. The most difficult part about creating this video was narrowing down my favorite books to five.
    I would estimate that over the past 10 years, I have likely read 250-300 books. Now, of course, everyone has different goals and time constraints, but I wanted to show you some of my all-time favorite books.

    Tony Robbins books stopped me from committing suicide. It was years ago and I quit my job as a medical illustrator. The job became unbearable for me. I thought I could find a job in a week or two. That did not happen. I sent out 120 resumes and got one interview. As bills piled up, I realized I could not find a job. Even went to retail stores and they said I was too qualified for the job. Depression set in and for nine months I laid on a couch. Then a friend had me go to emotions anonymous. I was there six weeks and realized the other people had really awful problems. I only needed a job. So I left that and went to the library in the self help section. I picked up Tony Robbins book and it changed my mindset. Then I read all the self help books and realized they were all saying the same thing. Never had a depressive moment since that time 40 years ago.
    Lastly, I decided to go back to school and finish my degree. I have an MFA and now have no regrets. Life is beautiful.

    I've read all of these books, and I agree with your analysis. I'm 52 years old now, so I find it great that a young person like yourself and the younger generation that follows you on this channel is getting exposure to these great books. I read "Quiet" about a year ago, and another book I read about the same time that you may enjoy and be helpful in understanding people is The Four Tendencies by Gretchen Rubin.

    The book that influenced me most was The Dialogues of Plato, especially Protagoras, Meno, and Gorgias. At first I thought it was dumb, and didn't understand how that book became famous. But by the end of the book, my mind was completely torpefied, and my worldview and personality changed. Though I can honestly say I don't know anything more than I did before reading the book (if you read it you know what I mean). If you don't get anything out of the book, read it again, you just missed it like I almost did. Socrates was truly brilliant.

    A lot of people talk down on How to Win Friends and Influence People because it's become a bit of a cliche at this point but if you're someone who truly and honestly wants to improve their relationships with others - there's no way you can't find some value in that book

      Cliche for a reason.. it’s life changing for introverted people

      @@NateOBrien Exactly. Charisma and empathy are some of the most impactful skills you can learn

    I love ‘The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D.Salinger! This book’s really cool and I really love maturity of the hero of this book. It’s the most cool book I’ve ever read.
    And if you’re attracted to nature on the Earth, I recommend “One Man’s Wilderness”. A guy lived in Alaska alone making a house by himself and enjoying the nature of Alaska. This book changed my life.
