New Library Section Up and Running
- 8 Comments
I’ve finally taken the time to make a list of all of the best books I’ve read over the past few years, and have hosted a “Library” page on the site. I’m sure you’ll recognize quite a few of the books on the list, but I’m almost certain you’ll notice a few you’ve never come across before.
I left quite a few books off the list because they didn’t meet my standard of incredible in their respective fields. The list you’re looking at was deliberated over for quite a few hours before being compiled. Eventually, I plan to write reviews for each of the books on the list. To access the library, click on the “Library” tab at the top of the page, or click here.
Take a look around and let me know what you think! If you have any book recommendations for me, please let me know about them in the comments section below.

I think the books that you’ve read is great, Rahul. I read some of them. Thanks for sharing these.
I have other recommended great books :
- Dare to Fail (Billi P.S Lim) -> Spirituality, Consciousness, Awareness
- Cash Flow Quadrant (Robert T. Kiyosaki) -> Business, Investing, Finances. This book is related to Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
- Eight Habit (Stephen Covey) -> Productivity, Getting Things Done, Time Management
- The Toyota Way (Jeffrey Liker) -> Productivity, Getting Things Done, Time Management
- Winning (Jack Welch) -> Productivity, Getting Things Done, Time Management
I hope these books is useful for you.
Rahul.
Yes I recognise some of the books and some are new to me – I’ll check out the ones I’ve not heard of before.
A small selection from my own list of ‘must reads’:
1 ‘Maturity’ (Osho)
2 ‘Loving What Is’ (Byron Katie)
3 ‘The Inner Game of Tennis’ (Timothy Gallwey)
4 ‘Teaching As a Subversive Activity’ (Neil Postman)
5 ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ (Viktor Frankl)
@ Arswino – awesome suggestions. I’ve only heard of the “Cash Flow Quadrant” and “The 8th Habit”. I’ll definitely check out the other books on your list!
@ Ian – I just ordered Man’s Search for Meaning. I’m looking forward to it. And wow, I haven’t heard of any of the other books on your list. I’ll check them out on Amazon and add them to my wish list!
Thanks so much for the recommendations guys! I’m excited to expand my library.
Real Magic- Wayne Dyre… awesome AWESOME book. You have some great stuff on here, I am looking forward to reading what I haven’t yet. Look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!
Great books. Reminds me of my reading when I had time ha. How did you chance upon financial books (I know you were a business student) to that extent and how do you feel that meshes with your spirituality.
I feel that both are interesting but I am interested in your transition from one to the other. It seems night and day to me! Then again, I am a zoologist so I may not have the best knowledge!
@ Joe – Thanks for the recommendation! I added it to my wish list. Hopefully will be getting it soon.
@ Ignacio – Great question. My freshman year of business school (towards the end of the first semester), I became really interested in investing. I started searching for the best books on the subject, and the few I’ve listed were some of the ones I came across and read. They’re all great.
The transition from my interest in investing to my interest in spirituality was a night and day shift, as you said. I no longer dabble in investments, but in time I know I’ll get involved again. And hey, just because you’re a zoologist doesn’t mean you can’t know something other than the tendencies of a rare species of monkey from the Amazon
Thanks for the comments guys!
Hi Rahul,
Glad to see you added Plato’s Republic. I think if more people read the classics we would all be better off. I truly believe in having the classics read in public education. Sadly we oftentimes give students modern day drivel to read.
Cheers,
Jeremy
Jeremy – I couldn’t agree with you more! I read it for my Introduction to Ethics philosophy class my freshman year of college, and I was blown away by how awesome it was.
Oh, and drivel is an understatement. Sigh, yet another area of the schooling system that needs to be improved upon.
Thanks for your comment!
