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.


Pls send them to me

This should be there. Not just foreign authors.
There are great books with rich and practical life improving contents written by Nigerian authors too.


This 2021, just download for free and read the book "1000+ Practical Practical Business Ideas and Directory of Money " by Sunkanmi VAUGHAN
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunkanmivaughan.bizdir
Exactly!!! For instance, am a book author...I have a latest book titled "Ignition".

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.
Me just like reading crime books and true live story books.
1. The Family by Mario Puzo.
2. The Ormeta by Mario Puzo.
3.The Dark Arena by Mario Puzo.
4. Hit them where it hurts by James Hardly Chase.
5. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.
In fact, just give me anything from Mario Puzo.

Good list but I can’t see any black reads.
These are all Eurocentric reads.

There are tons of black authors with good materials out there.

Okay I get you now. These books you've listed are very interesting, Mario Puzo is a master, lol.
I like crime novels too but also read career and personal finance books.

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!

Why not list the ones you know? OP might not know them.. We have talented black authors but they don't get enough exposure.

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.

Top 5 books to read in 2021.

Happy new year to everyone. It shall be a year of success for us all.

It has been said that, "readers are leaders." As we welcome year, 2021, these are the list of books to read to sharpen our minds.

1. Outwitting the devil - (Napoleon Hill): This book encourages readers to make use of their minds; to think for themselves; to have a definite purpose and how to avoid the habit of drifting.


2. The richest man in Babylon - (George S. Clason)
This book gives you practical tips on how to increase your earnings, how to control your expenditures, how to guard your wealth from loss.


3. Meditation - (Marcus Aurelius)
It gives you the philosophy for living. Philosophies used by great men in the past and how to live a meaningful life.


4. The laws of human nature - (Robert Greene) : this book teaches you about human nature. How to understand yourself and others.


5. How to stop worrying and start living - (Dale Carnegie) : this book outlines how to overcome worry in practical ways with examples of people's story and how they overcame it.


That's it everyone. Let's know your thoughts about those books if you have read them. You can recommend other books in the comment section below.

Happy new year once again.

Where can I buy 'The Laws Of Human Nature.'

Whatever happened to
1. Sapiens: A brief history of humankind
2. Homo Deus: A brief history of tommorow
and
3. 21 lessons for the 21st century

All three written by professor Yuval Noah Harari

Anyone who reads even one of these 3 books can never remain the same again

You might later be shocked that the author might ended up depressed.
.

Then you need a book by the name "The power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.
