2. I know What to do, so why don’t I do it? – Nick Hall
STOP not doing what you know you should do!
Ever thought about what is that one thing that can make you successful? And you still don’t do it. This book tells you a lot about how the brain is and why it is like that. The things that you may find in fact are actually very different. Nick Hall examines all 10 of the most common excuses for inaction and gives you specific strategies for dealing with each of them.
3. Start with a Why? – Simon Sinek
Those who start with WHY never manipulate, they inspire.
A very crucial book for all those future leaders. People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers might have little in common, but they all started with why. It was their natural ability to start with why that enabled them to inspire those around them and to achieve remarkable things. The study has found that great leaders think, act, and communicate in the exact same way—and it’s the complete opposite of what everyone else does.
