      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.

      I have a program like this that my dad passed on to me, which I often re-start when I feel I'm loosing it:

      0. "How to win friends and influence others" by Carnergie

      1. "Zig Ziglar on Selling"

      2. "Unlimited Power" by Tony Robbins

      3. "Secrets of closing the sale" by Zig Ziglar

      4. "Influence psychology of persuasion" by Caldini

      Really made the difference for me when feeding the kids became a challenge.

      Hi, these are a great question and a right conclusion. But become the good communicator is only a small thing that you have to change about themselves.

      Here are just several points from my experience. 1) You have to get as much responsibility, as you can. 2) You have to became confident and tough. 3) And Yes, you have to became a better communicator.

      Finally all these are about working on yourself. I can recommend you this book, which really helped me: https://www.amazon.com/Unlimited-Power-Science-Personal-Achi...

      By the way it took more that a year to change yourself ) Good Luck!

      I think this fundamentally misses an important part of human nature -- we can want things in the abstract (be more healthy, be more well-read, etc.) but not actually "straight up enjoy" them.

      There are techniques for training yourself to think differently about tasks though; Tony Robbins talks a lot about how to train yourself to have the positive associations that you choose, instead of the ones that your environment and upbringing bestowed on you[1]. Some of that reads a bit cultish but I think there's some good stuff in there.

      The best selling book is Tony Robbins "Unlimited Power" with like 9 million copies sold, but its also about fitness, so its not as targeted as you might like, although I liked it, but I'm not rich.

      Another one which I liked was, "Losing My Virginity: How I've Survived, Had Fun, and Made a Fortune Doing Business My Way" Richard Branson

      It's how Branson got rich which is pretty interesting.
