Other than Atomic Habits being my number one pick, these books are in no particular order.

The reason that Atomic Habits made Number One is this…

The truth is, a habit must be established before it can be improved. If you can’t learn the basic skill of showing up, then you have little hope of mastering the finer details~ Page 163 ~ Atomic Habits

Being a first-class Troublemaker that’s making a real difference in your community is a habit.

Number One ~ Atomic Habits

Atomic Habits ~ Tiny Changes Remarkable Results

Many people think that they lack motivation when what they really lack is clarity ~ James Clear

Number Two ~ Bluefishing

Bluefishing ~ The Art of Making Things Happen

“Ugly” works. For Bluefishers, ugly means raw, unpolished, quick and real. It’s the opposite of overpolished, CGI and corporate” ~ Steve D Sims ~ Bluefishing Playbook

Disrupt Yourself ~ Master Personal Transformation, Seize Opportunity and Thrive in The Era of Endless Innovation

Disruptors don’t have to discover something new; they just have to discover a practical use for new discoveries ~ Jay Samit

The Road Less Stupid ~ Advice From The Chairman Of The Board

Ordinary things when done consistently produce extraordinary results ~ Keith Cunningham
