What Hacker News says
- I have finally been able to form a habit that I wanted for more than a few decades and the book which helped me finally get it was "Awaken the Giant Within" by Anthony Robbins. This was my third or so reading of the book and this time it clicked! It's a bit dense book which seems to have aged well (and you may have to look past some of marketing for his other events).
"Tiny Habits" by BJ Fogg is another one which I find very useful. Just the basic idea of having tiny/baby steps to take is a powerful one.
"Loop Habit Tracker" app is a great app to keep track of your habits especially the ones where you want to record yes/no responses. It's free app available on android (I am still looking for something similar for iPhone for my wife!).
- You should talk to some close friends and ask they to tell you about your strengths. After that, I highly recommend that you read the "Awaken the Giant Within : How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny" by Tony Robbins. Author said that you should focus on your strengths
- Will probably get downvoted here, but read a self-help book.
Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins is one of the better ones based on the various areas of your life. (Raising Standards, Limiting Beliefs, Change your Strategy)
If you don't read this book, there's plenty of others regarding how our mental state can do more damage than good. Some are even associated with chronic physical pain such as back pain or migraines.
For as little as $10 or a trip to the local library (or online version), you can potentially change your life by reading a book with something foreign to you that you try and it suddenly works.
- Cliché, but "Awaken the Giant Within" by Tony Robbins.
It wasn't the book itself that changed my life, it was the exposure to all of the underlying ideas & philosophies that then significantly changed my life. I know many people can't stand the guy, but his book was really powerful for me at one point in my life. I got my shit together and started to understand the origins of many of the messages he promotes.
I like to think that there's a paradox of book reading in general in that you never remember what you read, but you change because of it.
- David Allen - Getting things done
Steven Pressfield - The War of Art + Turning Pro
Tony Robbins - Awaken the giant within (maybe he's released a better book than that now, but it was impactful personally back in the 90s)
- It's kinda cliched, but Tony Robbins' stuff always helps me.
I'd try Awaken The Giant Within and/or Unlimited Power. Another good motivational book is Relentless by Tim S. Grover. There's also Unleash The Warrior Within by Richard Machowicz.
