This post is for all my book lovers! If you're like me, there's probably a million different books you hope to read one day. I'm always making mental notes of new titles I see. I go in phases with what I'm in the mood for but I love motivational + personal growth/self-help books. They're inspiring and can offer great advice to better yourself and your life. Here are 5 Motivational Books I Want to Read! 

5 Motivational Books to Read


5 MOTIVATIONAL BOOKS I WANT TO READ


  Atomic Habits by James Clear

Atomic Habits by James Clear
This one is at the top of my list, I have heard such great things! This book outlines ways + strategies to kick bad habits and develop new, positive ones. It focuses on the day-to-day and small ways you can improve that lead to big results. 

This is an area that I'm constantly working on. I always find new ways to work on myself and improve but actually making them happen can be a challenge at times. I love the overall idea for this book + can't wait to pick it up!

Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins 

Awaken the Giant by Tony Robbins
I would consider this book to be a classic in the personal growth genre. I've heard people discuss Tony Robbins for years and years and he's a highly respected expert in this space. Awaken the Giant Within is centered on mastering all aspects of your life from money, emotions, your health + more. 

If you read the reviews for this book, a constant praise is that it's "life-changing." Not kidding-- lots of reviews said that! I like that it tackles all areas of life that I think we all look to succeed in and (hopefully) improve upon. I feel like I'm constantly juggling ways to be better mentally, physically, financially, etc.! I've read the book is broken down into a step-by-step process for improvement and that Tony offers a lot of motivation to implement these practices in your life.

Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen

Doesn't this just look like a motivational book? I was immediately drawn in by the colorful design of the cover! This is a religious based book that focuses on ways to get out of negative thinking and toxic thoughts. It focuses on the importance of your mindset + how positive thinking will connect you to your God-given purpose. 

Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen
I'm a big believer in the "law of attraction" and how your mindset can truly affect your life in both a positive or negative way. It is so so easy to become consumed by negative emotions and thoughts. I've experienced this in my own life and it can be very difficult to step away from. I believe there's even scientific data that shows it is easier for our brains to process negative thoughts than it is positive ones. I'm looking forward to reading this as I can always use a reminder on having a positive mindset and outlook.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey  

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey

I'm surprised that I haven't already read this one since I've had it on my to-read list for several years now. Something I am constantly fighting is time management. I always have a feeling that I could be doing and accomplishing more with my time. While this book isn't focused on the idea of time management, it does outline seven different habits that can be used to be more effective at work and at home. 

The seven habits include: Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win/Win, Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood, Synergize + Sharpen the Saw

It has been highly respected and well received for decades and is still on my reading "bucket list." Hopefully I will finally pick it up soon!

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
I had to include a money book! I recently watched an interview with Robert Kiyosaki that was very interesting. He was discussing his perspective on money and how rich people do not work for money, money works for them. A lot of his perspective is very unconventional and different than what you hear from most other finance gurus. 

I heard him speak on several different topics from paying taxes to debt. He seems to have a very interesting perspective on things so I'm intrigued to read his book.
