When I was younger, I never really liked reading. As I grew up, I kept hearing successful people say that the best habit they had was reading so I decided to give it a try.

Well, I should have started this when I was 5!!!

With absolutely no dough, reading (specially non-fiction) has been one of the best choices I have ever made.

I created this list of books I’ve read, and others that were recommended by people like Warren Buffet, Seth Godin, Steve Jobs and other successful individuals to hopefully inspire and improve your life.

This list could easily be “1000 Books that could change your life forever”, but I think these hundred will be enough to completely revolutionize you life.

Always remember that reading is only half of the journey, you need to apply and turn what you learn into action!

“If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The list is in alphabetical order not in order of preference, because every one of these books has immense power!

I truly believe the following books have the power to change your life.

So, without further ado…Ready, Set, Enjoy!
