      The books which I have read which have had a profound impact on how I think and improve what I do are:

      1. Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us - Daniel H. Pink

      2. Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance - Angela Duckworth

      3. The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck - Mark Manson

      4. Be Obsessed or Be Average - Grant Cardone

      5. High Performance Habits - Brendon Burchard

      6. The Obesity Code - Jason Fung

      The summary of what I've taken out of this is really fall in love with the intrinsic reward of doing things, take on the challenge but work at it pragmatically and patiently. It's okay to be a little crazed at what you want, do it for you, and always reflect, learn, adapt and try again.
