My Top 4 Personal Development Books


The Compound Effect



"Wherever you are in life right now is your own doing - good or bad" - Darren Hardy

The Compound Effect is based on the principle that decisions shape your destiny. Little, everyday decisions will either take you to the life you desire or to disaster by default. If you’re serious about living an extraordinary life, use the power of this book  to create the success you want. I've read this book several times and each time I walk away with more inspiration and motivation!  Great read, highly recommend!






The Power of Now



"Drop the negativity that your mind has created about the situation and that serves no purpose whatsoever except to strengthen a false sense of self." - Eckhart Tolle

This book was written with the intention to give us daily help and guidance in our day to day life.  Mr. Tolle emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment and not focusing on the past or future. This my go to reading material when life feels overwhelming. It truly brings you back to the present moment and allows the stresses of the past or future to melt away!




Failing Forward


“In life, the question is not if you will have problems, but how you are going to deal with your problems. If the possibility of failure were erased, what would you attempt to achieve?" - John Maxwell


This book talks about how people fail in their lives, and turn that around to and have a lifetime of success. It shows how people prepare for failure when it happens. The thing I liked most about this book was that it provides examples of real people in life. It showed that sometimes when people fail, they find success in life after their failure. When you fail you just have to remember that there is always another plan that God has for people. He explains how failure can result in good things. The only thing that matters when you fail is that you learn from your mistakes and try to better yourself. If you have never failed in life, then you haven’t tried to do anything outside your comfort zone. I could relate on so many levels, I have failed over and over again in my life.  In my life the word failure was connected to negativity...a bad word! I learned from Mr. Maxwell that failure goes hand in hand with success. If you don't ever fail, you've never truly lived and reached for your dreams! Don't be afraid to fail and fly, with practice, determination and persistence, you will achieve great success. I definitely recommend reading this book!!!


Manifest Your Destiny


"Conflict cannot survive without your participation." - Dr. Wayne Dyer

This book shows how living in love and faith will attract all good things to you. Dr. Dyer in a very simplistic way gives you a road map to achieve the life you were destined to live.  I find ALL his books bring such peace to my heart. A MUST read!!
