Hi Tim,

Great list! I have to admit that the ‘Success Principles’ by Jack is pretty much a staple around the office.

Not uncommon for us to be faced with a tough problem and have some one in the office pipe up with “What would Jesu…er.. I mean Jack do?”

Just saying…

Thanks for sharing your list. I will be sure to check out some of the others!

Cheers

Jesse

@ David – My recollection was the books weren’t dissimilar in length, but that maybe my memory playing tricks on me…..again.

@ Mike – I have no idea what you’re talking about, but have fun.

Tim,

I’m here to decompress files into a discernible form of a seminar. I could use your input, so hustle on over to the aeropuerto and fly on out! The airport code for Maui is OGG!

Mai Tai’s for everyone!

The Success Principles was great, but since it’s so long it doesn’t feel like a book I could pick up and read again which hurts the power of it. What I like about Think and Grow Rich is how concise it is, and there’s plenty of highlight-worthy sentences and lists to make the content really digestible. :)

Good Morning from Maui!!

I liked Frankl’s work because it has proven over and over to be a solid basis for survival for a great number of people. I think that there is a lot of validation for Napoleon Hill’s work in the Logotherapy work that Frankl offered. Very useful stuff!

Personally, I enjoyed all the works you have listed that I read, and will probably go out and purchase the ones I haven’t to add to the research.

@ Dayne – I read Zen and the Art of Motorcylce Maintenance and really liked that if I bit long winded. Not read your suggestion, but will read up on it.

@ Andy – To be fair I thought Chicken Soup for the Mixed-Ethnicity Teenage Asthmatic Prostitute’s Soul was quite good. You think he’s running out of ideas but he hasn’t even started on Tomato soup series yet not forgetting all the broths he has to go at.

@ Corey – Gotta be careful what I say, I’m banking on her launching How To Be Rich and Happy on an unsuspecting world.

@ Gordie – RMIB is supposed to be great and I know my co-author rates it so maybe I’ll take a look at some stage.

@ Yeh I’m down with the hommies for sure. I hear good things about Martha Beck, but never read anything I have to say.

@ Zia – Good call! That and “It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be by Paul Arden were on my original list.

@ Tracy – I keep meaning to get Robinsons book because he’s hilarious and I like his story telling immensely
