📗 'Way of the Wolf' by Jordan Belfort
What's the ol' Wolf of Wall Street got to say about the art of selling?
An interesting one today, and a controversial character. Belfort is the infamous 'wolf' and whether or not his methods have been correct over the years, he knows a thing or 2 about persuasion and influence…
Most will be familiar with the movie, Leonardo DiCaprio playing the lead role and what a delightful romp it was. The film was based on Belfort's book of the same name and made with his input, along with plenty of creative license too (and directed by Martin Scorsese no less).
The Way of the Wolf is a subsequent offering and not based around his life, but more his work in sales training and outlining his Straight Line System which has been put into book form here.

📕 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman
Discover and work with the two systems of your brain!
Here we have an absolute classic on the different aspects of our brain and how they work together (or not).
The crux is that you have two systems in your brain that are fighting for control over your behaviour and actions. This can lead to many ways in which they influence errors in memory, judgment and decisions.
It's the condensed life work of Nobel-prize winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman and goes deep into the psychology of why we think the way we do.
There are plenty of insights and many experiments and conundrums posed within. Not a quick, light read but one to get your teeth into if you want to study more in this area.
A very important book which delves into the human thinking process and is required understanding…

📘 "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl
The classic tribute to hope from the Holocaust…
A book, I'm sure, that will be well known to most.
We not only have a first-hand account of one man's experience during the Holocaust and at Auschwitz, but also delve deep unto the arm of psychology and existential analysis that Viktor Frankl developed.
He was working on Logotherapy before being captured and tried to keep some of his work going despite being under those conditions. Then later on he was able to develop his theories into what became his signature work.
A tale of 2 halves… a prisoner's perspective in the first half, then in the second it becomes more of a psychology work, discussing the theories and practices of Logotherapy.
This is the story of Dr Frankl and his life, and a significant search for us all – that being the pursuit of meaning…

📕 'Never Finished' by David Goggins
Here we have Mr Goggins back with a follow up, bringing us up to date since 'Can't Hurt Me' along with more hard-core growth tips…
He takes us on more of his journey since the last book and some further aspects of his past. We jump into principles of success and dig down deep to realise our potential.
As ever, it's predicated on having a liking of and interest in the author (or at least not an active dislike) and a willingness to face yourself and the truth. Knowing it will be tough and take work but be ready and willing to do what it takes.
This is one of the few works out there that is genuinely motivational/inspirational. You will have an urge to do something whilst and after reading… whether that's sustained or not is another matter.
And - like his other book - be sure to get the audio!
