Maybe the books you have read so far were boring, you should try the ones that will keep you awake till the early hours of the day.

Reading has 'epped' many people. Many.

Where can I buy 'The Laws Of Human Nature.'
You can get them from books store around you. If you're in Lagos try CMS. Plus, you can get the pdf version if you love reading on your phone.

Nice thread, @lilmaydee

However, just "reading" may not help.

Let me explain:

Yes, getting information is a good start but USING information will help you even more.

In fact, if you could only read and actually use ONE book this year, you will make much more progress than you ever would by cramming a lot of disjointed information into your brain

[Now this is the part where I should promote my own book...Just kiddin']

Seriously, this year, you can focus more on making better use of the information you are already drowning in.

Happy New Year!
Thank you for the advice. However, those books actually have great impart in my life.

To those asking, "who books epp?"
Reading actually has a way of changing your mentality; widening your horizon; increasing your memory; imparting your life positively. Yes, reading good books can do that.

I remembered when I was in higher institution, 3 years ago, my database lecturer said he regretted not reading inspirational books, as he saw them as being useless. Now, he knew better. Then he advised us to get those books and read them so that we can become better version of ourselves.

Truth be told, that was the beginning of the journey into reading. Today, I have overcome 80% of my challenges and see things for what they are (realism), not what I want them to be (idealism)

Ok.

George S. Clason's Richest man in Babylon remains an alltime best selling classic.


I have audio for the laws of Human nature but not done listening to it.

I can recommend many more, but for career people, read Carl Newport's So Good They Can't Ignore You and take your career to the next level.

For Business People, read Akin Alabi's Small Business Big Money.

Everyone needs to listen to these two programs by Bob Proctor:

1. Thinking into results
2. The Secret Science of Getting Rich Edition featuring Bob Proctor, Michael Beckwitt, Jack Canfield.


All except Akin Alabi's book available in audio from me.
Please you send me the audio

Top five books.


#1 Bible. #2. The holy Bible. #3. King James version of the Bible. #4. New king James version of the Bible.#5. The Bible.


Apart from your academic study books. Read the Bible well.

The problem of the world is not knowledge it's rather too much knowledge competing.

Underneath it's pride that comes with too much knowing. Humans hate to admitted it but they are reversely ignorant. Basics truth elude them.

So use the Bible as your foundation first. Learn love. Learn humility.self control, honesty. Hard work. Truth forgiveness. Kindness. Right wisdom..not the one of this age.

The Bible is truly man's manual.

Know yourself and your purpose in this life through it.

God bless you.
.

The Holy Bible is the most important of all.

Thanks for sharing

Actually, you may not need to empty your brain

What if you could re-read ONE of those books you read before - with a view to actually finding how to apply it to your situation?

While it may seem popular to brag about having "read" 3000 books, you'll get more VALUE from actually using even just ONE book.

Cheers!

Outwitting the devil is a very good book for a conservative child/adult indoctrinated is a very religious way.

Also the richest man in Babylon has a practical guide for acquiring riches become wealthy with little or nothing.

Also, 48 Laws of Power is applicable to every day relationship with people. All kinds of people and setting especially in political setting, family or office....

Attitude is everything... Is self motivational book for young undergraduate... Life may not always go as planned but always remain optimistic in whatever you do.

The monk who sold is ferari is for those that doesn't know what the definition of success means. To crave out what it means to call yourself successful read this.

History of black civilization (miseducation) is for those who are curious about acient human development.

Early morning miracle by Alan is for those who want to recreate their habit and thought...
