you are serious about achieving your dreams, living a
better life, or improving your performance, I urge you to
buy -- and READ -- these books! And, if a book has been particularly helpful or influential for you, please send me the title and a short review about why it was helpful to you. Email your suggestions to me and I may post your listing here, with full credit to you (if you wish)! Cheryl Richardson shares the passion for "living well", for enjoying life and "having it ALL, right now!, and her book is filled with wisdom, practical tips, challenging (even frightening) truth, and great fun. This is the only book I recall that got a solid 5-Star rating from every single reviewer! Here's how one person put it: "After reading "Take Time," I changed my business.... The result? Surprisingly, same income, less hassle, and MORE FREE TIME! Thanks Cheryl. Stressed out souls everywhere should make time for your book." I agree! If you think you need more time in your day -- read this book! If you think hard work will help you achieve success -- read this book! If you don't have time to read this book -- read this book! Amazon will deliver it to your door (saving you time and stress) for only $16.10 if you click here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0767902068/philiphumbert Fair warning....at Amazon.com, the ratings range from 1-star, up to the 5-stars that I would give it. The comments range from "This is not a fun book." (which is true -- it's a thought-provoking call to action, but I wouldn't describe it as "fun"), to "Outstanding!" and "One Great Book!" It reminds you that life is precious and short, that you want to live your own life, not someone else's idea of what you "ought" to do. It also reminds you that life is to be lived with passion, action and intention, not merely endured. Not for everyone -- if you like action-adventure thrillers, I doubt you'll enjoy this! But, one of the most provocative and influential books in American history. Click here to

This is one of the classic, all-time best selling books about the mysteries and transcendent passions of golf. For the uninitiated, golf looks like a game, one that Winston Churchill described as "trying to place a ball in a small hole with instruments singularly ill-suited to the task." Ah! But for those who know! Golf is a metaphor for life, one of life's best teachers, and a stern disciplinarian. Those few who understand "true gravity" (read the book) are among the most enlightened sages of the ages! And for the rest of you, it's a great novel, full of humor, suspense and a bit of silliness. If you play golf, you need this book! And if you don't, I recommend it as a great summer read! Amazon.com will ship it to you for only
$11.16. Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor E. Frankl This small book is number 358 on Amazon.com's best-seller list, and remains one of the most inspirational, motivational and life-changing books ever written. Dr Frankl survived the horrors of Nazi concentration camps, and those stories alone will inspire you to take charge of your life in a way you never imagined! But, that's only a small part of the miracle of this book. Dr Frankl's ability to challenge us to really think about what is important, about what we WANT for our lives, and about what life is expecting from us, that's what has made this book so important over the years. This is one of the most-quoted, most-read, and most-loved books of all time. You owe it to yourself to spend an afternoon (you can read it that quickly) with this powerful little book! You can order it
for only $4.79 by clicking here: As A Man Thinketh, by James Allen This tiny little volume (it's only 80 pages long!) can be read in an hour, but I guarantee you will never forget it! Before this book, I had never heard of James Allen. I don't know who he is or where he came from, but this little book has the most thought-provoking wisdom and life-changing inspirational words I've come across in a long time. One reviewer at Amazon put it this way: "Absolutely, totally, without a doubt INCREDIBLE!!!!!! This is -THE- book!!! I've devoted 5 years reading 'personal development-books' and there are a lot of great ones. But this one really is far beyond everything else I've ever read! I put away my highlighter since I realized I would have to highlight almost every sentence in the book." I bought it on faith, based on the comments at Amazon. I was ordering a couple other books, and figured I'd take a chance on this one. I never did finish the other books -- this one took my breath away! Highly recommended. Buy it and have

$3.47! Don't Worry, Make Money, by Richard Carlson, PhD The sub-title to this great little book of daily readings is: "Spiritual and Practical Ways to Create Abundance and More Fun in Your Life". This is not the kind of book you sit down and read, cover to cover. It's a collection of essays, stories, and short, practical little "ticklers" that I read, day by day. Dr Carlson's humor, insight, wisdom and writing style is (I hope!) much like my own. Get it, read it, keep it on your night-stand or on the corner of your desk. Read it when you balance your checkbook or pay your bills, to keep you on track. A wonderful little book! You can have it

here: Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Robert T Kiyosaki & Sharon L. Lechter This astonishing little book, written from a very personal perspective based on the author's childhood experiences, is near the top of Amazon.com's most popular list! And, it has quietly worked its way up the best-seller charts for a very simple reason: it is true! To make money, you have to work smart (not just hard), you have to invest wisely, you have to understand that money is attracted to money, and that successful people think about money in specific ways. They understand that by itself, money has no meaning. When we use money to achieve our values, to express our priorities and create meaning in our lives, money becomes a useful, faithful servant, rather than a fickle master. Only 184 pages, but a book to change your life and make you a fortune! Click here to buy it for
only $12.76: The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom, by Suze Orman This has been a huge best-seller for a reason -- it works! From thinking about your estate and taking care of your loved ones, to investing wisely, and using your checkbook and family budget as practical tools to get what you want in life, this book is a gem! Very easy reading. Ms Orman is not a wallstreet investment teckie or a fancy banker! She writes in a down-to-earth, practical sense about money and how you can use money (and your attitudes and relationships with money) to have the life you want. Very powerful, and highly recommended! Click here to

door: The Millionaire Next Door, by Thomas Stanley and William Danko This is an extremely practical guide to accumulating wealth and living well. It's not so much aimed at making huge amounts of income, but about how the wealthy in America accumulate wealth, develop the lifestyles that permit them to retire early, and do the things they value most. I found it easy and quick reading, and very thought-provoking. It was a best-seller for a great reason: It makes sense! You can click

$27.97 by clicking here: The Aladdin Factor by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen Most Americans are familiar with Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen for their series of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books. There are many books in that series now, and they are very good. But long before these guys became rich and famous for their "Soup" books, they wrote two other works that, for me, have been much more powerful. The first is: "The Aladdin Factor". Most people have never heard of it, but I urge you to get your hands on it, read it, take notes, and implement the strategies! It will change your life! The cost is only

It may give you the specific tools, and the DESIRE to take effective, efficient action. I hope you'll buy, read and re-read this wonderful book! The cost is only

You can immediately start using several of his strategies with profound effect on relationships and have a sense of well-being, and a more gradual impact on finances and business decisions. His wisdom and ability to combine Psychology, common sense and inspiration are the BEST! A tremendous book, by a tremendous person! Buy it for only
$10.40 by clicking here: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill This is a remakarble classic! Over 50 reviews as Amazon give it an average of 5 stars. Yes, it's outdated. (It was written in the 1930's.) Yes, it's sexist and hopelessly "quaint". And, it is still one of the best! No book will have a stronger influence in helping you set -- and ACHIEVE -- your goals in life. Keep it on the corner of your desk, and refer to it every few days. A "must have"! Buy it for only
$8.80 by clicking here: Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain Susan Estrella, suggested this book: "I wanted to suggest a work that has been a great blessing in my life. Are you familiar with the wonderful classic, "Creative Visualization" by Shakti Gawain? I was blessed to find her work on tape about a year-and-a-half ago and it has helped me enormously." The book is actually somewhat controversial, either profoundly loved, or profoundly distrusted. I loved it, and highly recommend it. Ms Gawain's argument is that "Imagination rules the world". Everything we have, do, and become begins as an idea, a visualization which we turn into reality. We create our lives, our successes and our failures with our beliefs. As Henry Ford once said, "If you think you can, or think you can't, you are right." Buy it for only
$5.20 by clicking here: How Much Joy Can You Stand? by Suzanne Falter-Barnes This book came highly recommended by a TIP's reader, Suzen, and has a "5-star" recommendation from reviewers at Amazon.com. Suzen wrote: "I have one that has been delightful and extremely helpful to me and to virtually everyone I have recommended it to. It's new and in paperback...and is a quick and easy read, but very powerful. It really helps the reader understand the process of creating a life that is your true dream and explains through lots of examples how we sabotage ourselves and how others who eventually achieved what they were called to went through trials and tribulations on the way! During times I have felt discouraged it has gotten me up and running again! Check it out!!" Based on Suzen's note, and the recommendations at Amazon, I just ordered it for myself -- I hope you will too! Buy it for only
$10.36 by clicking here: Manifest Your Destiny by Wayne W. Dyer In this amazing little book (only 165 pages) Dr Dyer summarizes "The 9 Spiritual Principles for Getting Everything You Want". Most of the readers at Amazon gave it 5-stars, although it is based on "new thought" principles, and some folks don't appreciate that approach. I highly recommend the book -- it'll get you moving, remind you of the basics, and challenge you to pursue and achieve your highest destiny! A wonderful little book -- a "must read!" Buy it for only
$10.40 by clicking here: Your Sacred Self by Dr Wayne W. Dyer This thoughtful and insightful book is about "making the decision to be free" in the most profound, personal sense. It is not necessarily "easy" reading, but you won't put it down. Like the reviewers at Amazon.com, you won't agree with everything, but the book is still helpful. Consider this book an up-dated version of Viktor Frankl's famous classic, "Man's Search for Meaning". If you're looking to define who you are, what you want in life, where you're going and why, this is the book for you! Buy it, read it, ponder it! It will transform you life! Buy it for only
$5.49 by clicking here: Marketing Without Advertising, by Michael Phillips & Salli Rasberry This wonderful, POWERFUL little book was recommended by, Nina Cherry. Very practical, it takes the mystery out of marketing a professional practice, attracting clients, and making money...without having to "sell" or "advertise" anything! Long before Thomas Leonard developed his "attraction principles", this book listed the specific daily actions for letting the world discover you and beat a path to your door. It helped me relax and stop "trying" to sell. Instead, the practical steps in this book teach you to effectively, effortlessly, let people know who you are, what you do, and how it could benefit them. And that has makes a difference! To build your professional practice, work less, and make more money -- buy (and USE!) this book! Buy it for only

From developing powerful business letters, to chatting easily with local media and developing powerful networking techniques, this is a "must have" book for any professional or small business. And, if marketing and "schmoozing" doesn't come easy for you -- then it's an absolute MUST HAVE!!! Get your hands on this book, read it, use it as a workbook or guide, and simply start doing the things that feel most practical, easiest or appropriate. Like Marketing Without Advertising, (above) this book has made me hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's one of the most valuable books I've ever read! Buy it for only
$13.56 by clicking here: The Greatest Generation, by Tom Brokow I found this to be an amazing collection of stories and insight into my parent's generation. In less than 40 years, this generation built the world we know -- a world of mass transportation, instant communication, portable computers, and they went to the moon! This is not dry history, it's the real-life stories and remembrances of ordinary people doing amazing things, often under the most difficult conditions. I found it thrilling, inspiring, humbling -- and challenging! I urge you to buy two copies, one for yourself, and another to share with your parents! Have it shipped
