- So here it is. The five books that changed my life. The most difficult part about creating this video was narrowing down my favorite books to five.
I would estimate that over the past 10 years, I have likely read 250-300 books. Now, of course, everyone has different goals and time constraints, but I wanted to show you some of my all-time favorite books.

Comment one book that changed your life! Always looking for new books to read

Awesome content, keep it up! Greetings from Germany
David Goggins - cant hurt me
Jesse Itzler - Living with the monks
James McCrae - shit your ego says
Pascal mercier - night train to lisbon
Dale Carnegie - How to win friends and influence
David Allen - Getting things done
"I read because I had no friends and I didn't really talk to anybody"
Damn you had me in the first 3 seconds hahaha
most people read because it makes them think they are smart.
@@eduardochavacano I believe books can make you smarter 😊📚
@@lenasvisionblog yes I think they do change the way u think and that's actually worth it
@@shauryapathak1217 100% ❤️ What is one book that drastically changed your perspective on a topic/life?
I realized friends are a waste of time. You only find true happiness by focusing on yourself and on your goals. I basically ghosted all my friends after realizing this fact
Great video Nate, try reading the book called 25 Money Secrets From Donald Trump, it will change your life, i promise you
1. How to win friends and influence people
2. Getting to Yes ( many else on recommendation)
3. Influence: the psychology of persuasion
4. Rich dad poor dad
[ Honorary mention:Awake the giant, Quiet the power of introvert]
5. The 4 hour workweek
You’re a hero
Thanks 😊
Cashflow Quadrant is way better than Rich Dad Poor Dad
Thank you for the list! :)
Thanks!!
introverts don't always have to have a hard time talking to people, we just rather spend our time alone because we feel less tired and lethargic 😔
Maybe yes or maybe not..
.. That is the story you tell yourself..Harward longest survey on Happiness results shows COMMUNITY is what makes people happy
@@financialarchitectureinsti3869 Studies on subjects like happiness are not meant to be used as a general standard. A lot of studies like this are flawed, they use a limited age range or a lot of the times it's mostly white participants. Even if it the study has no noticeable flaws, people differ too much. Psychology is not math.
@@financialarchitectureinsti3869 i dont trust study.
I recommend reading “Quiet” by Susan Cain for people who are introverts
@@financialarchitectureinsti3869 You do realize I can be a part of a community and enjoy talking to people but that doesn't mean i can't be introverted. You can sit me down and talk to others or someone for 12 hours but as soon as I get free time that time is mine only and I want to be alone and think. I think your understanding of that study is flawed lol
*Books can honestly change your life, i wish i would've known that when i was younger*
Books are my mentor
@@NateOBrien true
I as well..my father was an AVID reader & couldn’t understand why my brother & I weren’t.. my brother reads what he has to
& as he consults for int’l corps, does really well. I con’t to keep building & books are a major part of the building!
@@peterfallon4018 that's awesome Peter, Keep reading!
Btw, I have an ebook re how to succeed living w/ BiPolar disorder, called guidingtherollercoaster; $0.99 at Amazon
"Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. "Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life.
Now take what's left and live it properly."
Would you mind explaining what that means? English is not my first language and I have trouble with the 'what's left' part of the sentence
@@jpmix4802 ah thank you a lot! :)
@@user-hb4mk9xk5e you're welcome ☺️
@@jpmix4802 I dont think Marcus Aurelius meant it that way when he says "live it properly." Simply "enjoying your moments" and living "as you like" is not what he was talking about
@@user-hb4mk9xk5e :O.K , I'll give you an analogy to explain "what's left"---- Say you are 30 years old and dissatisfied with
your life so far.... Consider the first 30 years as gone, dead, and take "what's left "of your life, say the next fifty years and
live them to the fullest, how YOU really want to live them---"to thine own self be true."
greetings to everyone, and a big greeting to you Nate, a brilliant video full of useful information as always, but I would like you to hear about the book Astro Money Alchemy, the author of which is unknown, the book tells stories about the secrets of the great businessmen of this world and attracting money, abnormally, and once more Nate genius video
Tony Robbins books stopped me from committing suicide. It was years ago and I quit my job as a medical illustrator. The job became unbearable for me. I thought I could find a job in a week or two. That did not happen. I sent out 120 resumes and got one interview. As bills piled up, I realized I could not find a job. Even went to retail stores and they said I was too qualified for the job. Depression set in and for nine months I laid on a couch. Then a friend had me go to emotions anonymous. I was there six weeks and realized the other people had really awful problems. I only needed a job. So I left that and went to the library in the self help section. I picked up Tony Robbins book and it changed my mindset. Then I read all the self help books and realized they were all saying the same thing. Never had a depressive moment since that time 40 years ago.
Lastly, I decided to go back to school and finish my degree. I have an MFA and now have no regrets. Life is beautiful.
This is inspiring! You must be proud of yourself.
Would you mind telling me what thzt book was?
Gave me chills reading your success story; so glad for you! ;-)
I don't play I SLAY Awaken the Giant Within
May-July Money thank you...
You read Tony Robbins books 40 years ago?!!! Did he even start writing 40 years ago?!!
This man was 12 years old reading self-help books that are life changing. It rly explains his great decision making skills in everyday finances and his success on RUclips. I am truly influenced by you to better myself.
Trueee
The Richest Man In Babylon should be everyone's reading list.
For sure!!!
Just downloaded on my Kindle.
100% agree!!!!
@Christina Reynolds Because it tells the story of HOW to manage money and quit living paycheck to paycheck. People are NOT poor because they do not make money, most are poor because they fail to understand the real Laws that are needed to build wealth; as true today as it was in the times of Babylon.
Christina Reynolds and read the book for a simple solution to that common problem
"If a Man does not read, then he has no advantage over the man who can't read" - Mark Twain
I read " How to win friend & Influence people " it's a very interesting book 📚✔️
He has a iteresting title
I’m going to check that one out.
I'm reading it too .. it's so good
It's the best💯
Such a good book
"Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins will blow your mind and kick you out of your comfort zone. My book of the year!
I just started it today ! what a co-incidence !
I'm not sure, I respect him, but if your in the throws of depression there's not a hell of a lot of self motivation going to get you going.
@@t.c252 I won't agree with you. He explains in his book that he comes from far away from success.. He explains in a way that if you're depressed, you could relate to that. And then, he proves himself that HE CAN do it. And that his sufferings became the fuel of his own personal motivation.
I respect your viewpoint, but above is my contradiction.
Have a good one Troy,
That's okay if you don't agree, it's better to have an open dialogue especially with the topic of depression. I'm not sure what you mean 'he comes from far away success?'
@@t.c252 Sorry for that. I meant that his success came after a strong depression period of his life. He failed a lot and was in a very bad physical and mental shape before becoming who he is today.
Whoever is reading this comment may all your wishes come true...............❤️
I wish same to you... Thanks!
@Aysha Amin,
Thank you.
Love, Light, and Many Blessings upon you and yours.
🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌🙌🙌😺
😍
Amen. Thanks and I wish you same
Amen. The same for you too
Just started reading "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People." The past two weeks I read 3 other books. Reading is a great hobby.
My favourite:
1. daily stoic
2. essentialism
3. rich dad poor dad
I love essentialism! I'm going to try daily stoic
If you like daily stoic check out the obstacle is the way and ego is the enemy by the same author (Ryan Holiday) The obstacle is the way was really life changing for me.
Third one is a scam
Yea brilliant book rich Dad bad Dad
@@ODDLYTICS why ?
I read these two books and my life has not been the same since. The books are:
-The power of habit by Charles Duhigg
-The power of now by Eckhart Tolle
Great tips!
“The power of Now” 😊Yes!
Then what do you doin' now?
The power of now, is a book to read a hundred times!!!
Those sound like good reads 🙌🏽🙌🏽
when he said he didn’t have a lot of friends and didn’t really talked to anybody- he just said something that I was too scared to admit in my entire life.
How to Stop Worrying and Start Living - Dale Carnegie
this book really helped me getting out of the stress that i was living in
it really changed my vision of life
That's definitely a book that I need to read.
Another legitimately helpful video, you have been killing it Nate! Seeing you grow as a RUclipsr, improving at your craft and deepening everyone's understanding of finance, it's inspiring. I also really struggle with communication but have been trying to push my own boundaries, even starting to take RUclips seriously because of you. Thank you!
I am an introvert as well and honestly, this is my first time to leave a comment on a youtube video. You just make me out of my shell, Nate. I've read 2 of those books you've mentioned and they're great.
Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. 😇
Read QUIET: The Power of Introverts can't stop talking
It would change you!
Good luck
What?? You think that get out your "shell" is do a commentary in a video on RUclips?
Siti Setianingsih 💚
Siti Setianingsih you go girl! Small steps are still steps forward ❤️
Introverts unite! ...or maybe just stay home instead 😬
i am currently reading "atomic habits"and it has changed a lot in my life
Yeah it's nice
Fine
And me too reading atomic habits currently 😁
Great book! Can re read over and over
Yess girl-its the best life changing book i have read so far because it shows practical solutions that we should act,not only moral that anybody knows but nobody uses.
I’m turning 21 this December I’m planning to start reading daily and not just when I feel like it I spend too much time on my phone
happy birthday !!
Haha same here😊
"Man's search for meaning" by Viktor Frankl
"The richest man in Babylon" by George Clason.
These are some of the most amazing books that have changed my life.
Man's Search for Meaning is just absolutely brilliant.
Haven't read the other one though. So in it goes into my list. :)
Where're you from?
@@natalya6091 Durban, South Africa.
@@nkanyisomhlongo2748 Thank you.We' re from Moscow, Russia.
Have a nice day.Cheers.
I’ve read the Viktor frankl book and I agree , it’s an incredible small book.
I am probably twice the age of this young man and am absolutely enamored by his capacity to learn and calm demeanor. It's no surprise that he will achieve great things! My husband is an introvert, and I think they offer intrigue and mystery to us extroverts 😊 Love this channel! You really talk to the people and not at them. Tfs!
When I was in my twenties, searching for meaning, I started reading "the interior castle" by St. Terese de Jesus, and it changed my life. I am still reading it today at times, trying to understand it. Its very profound and led me on a life's journey that continues today. Highly recommend to anyone trying to understand who they are. What they are.
Is it in simple English or not? Sounds very interesting and depending on the language I might read it in English.
I was never much of a book reader growing up but thanks to motivators like you, my daughters and youtube we now have been given the opportunity to read and share kids books with the rest of the world! THANK YOU!
Some other nice books, but I bet you’ve read them already:
- The subtle art of not giving a f*ck
- The magic of thinking big
- Digital minimalism
- The obstacle is the way
- Goodbye, things
Love your vids! Cheers👌🏻
Thanks for the tips bro!
The Magic of Thinking Big changed my life. It also changed the lives of the two people I recommended it to. If there is ever a book someone should read to get started with things, this one is it.
Michael Sloven The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is definitely a fave 👌🏽
The subtle art of not giving a f*ck definitely changed my life from an acute over thinker into a give no damn a shit.
@@bagusprabangkoro4334 That's awesome! So it really does help with overthinking?
Cause I struggle a lot with that and I'm trying to find books that can help me develop more strategies to finally quit overthinking once and for all
I've read all of these books, and I agree with your analysis. I'm 52 years old now, so I find it great that a young person like yourself and the younger generation that follows you on this channel is getting exposure to these great books. I read "Quiet" about a year ago, and another book I read about the same time that you may enjoy and be helpful in understanding people is The Four Tendencies by Gretchen Rubin.
When we read books, we are actually talking to the author. We just don't get response. But at least we are talking to a person we can learn from much more than from the people around us.
The book that influenced me most was The Dialogues of Plato, especially Protagoras, Meno, and Gorgias. At first I thought it was dumb, and didn't understand how that book became famous. But by the end of the book, my mind was completely torpefied, and my worldview and personality changed. Though I can honestly say I don't know anything more than I did before reading the book (if you read it you know what I mean). If you don't get anything out of the book, read it again, you just missed it like I almost did. Socrates was truly brilliant.
*The Alchemist* by Paulo Coelho was one that had an impact on me. I've read it multiple times and it always amazes me how I get something different from it... Feels like I understand it at a deeper level each time 💜
I'm working on it... will complete it in a week..
@@kannadasanpsk4244 great 👍 enjoy 😉
Lee Dixon I feel the same about The Alchemist. This book to me is more like a reflection of where you’re in life. That’s why the meaning changes every time you read it! ❤️ it’s my favourite book!
@@ChandanaCTV well said!
That's my next book.
Update: i brought the book and finished reading it. The story was thrilling and end up finishing the book in just 5 days. Loved it.
the 4 agreements is a must read
Except for the "Getting to Yes, I had read all of them and tried to apply some of the principles practically. But, thank you so much for sharing
1-How to make friends and influence people changed my life. Dale Carnegie 2- The power of self confidence by Brian Tracy 3- the simple path to wealth by JL Collins. 4- Rich dad poor dad taught me about assets and liabilities 5- Being mortal from Atul Gawande.
Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Must read it three times.
1. Tao Te Ching - helped me to heal with my personal issues
2. How to Win Friends and Influence People - helped me to reach out and show the enthusiastic me.
3. The Magic of Thinking Big - helped me to get in track and focus on my dream.
I'm planning to read 4-hour work week. God Bless everyone!
I like you video on have yourself a merry little Christmas. Sounds awesome.
@@cty3825 appreciate it, thanks
Tao Te Ching is being my inner journey guide for the last 20 years.
Thank so much I received 👏👏👏
I actually did read rich dad poor dad with my class in my highschool math class lol. My teacher wanted us to learn more than just math.
Whats his name??
For more teachers like yours!!
One book that changed my live is "The map of lost memories", from Kim Fay. It's a novel about someone who travels to Cambodia to search for lost information about the aboriginals. It is so well written that I could feel the sun burning, walking in the heat looking for the lost temple.
This book made me love travelling more and made me decide to travel to Cambodia in 2016 ❤
Wow! That's great . So how was your experience in Cambodia when you went there ?
The productivity project by Chris Bailey, loved that one
Man's Search for Meaning is the single most important book I've ever read. It had the greatest influence on my thinking - totally pulled me out of this pit of despair I had put myself into.
What's really interesting about this book - and this discussion - is how different people resonate with different books (and maybe even at different times in their lives).
2 books: "The Science of Getting Rich", and "The Richest Man in Babylon".
I was given a copy of “The Richest Man in Babylon” when I was 14 years old back in 1964! Just yesterday I IM’d an audio copy to a young man I know. I love that book👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽.
I’ll have to get “The Science of Getting Rich”.
"Feel the Fear and do it Anyway" (by Susan Jeffers) is a great one!
Mauro Di Pinto Especially her choice possibility method. A fantastic way to perceive a future without letting fear drag you down. One other book I like is The Ultimate Secret to Getting Everything You Want. Mike Hernacki boiled every self help book into one sentence. The book itself is only 40 pages to explain that one sentence.
I need to ready that first book. I keep seeing it everywhere, and I’m taking this as a sign to finally check it out. Thanks for another great video, Nate (:
Rich Dad, Poor Dad definitely changed my life.
I'm soo glad it did, can you share what improved in your life? :D
yes, mine, too! Changed my view of money and the world!
@@kayaeki I don't even know how to respond to this question. It being a book about personal finance, I'll give you one guess what it may have improved.
Yes, too bad robert kiyosaki turned into such a fear mongering psychopath on Twitter.
Logan Somner really? How
The way that you threw the first book really shows how much you've learnt in your life..
I have had The 4 hour workweek in my book stand for 2 years now, this video just made me motivated to read it. Thanks for the awesome video!
I agree with what some others have said, "Can't Hurt Me," by David Goggins is a really inspirational book.
I have the audio version of it.
@@AkshayKumar-yn3lj COOKIE
Excellent book!
Tim Minore stop letting people know
@@tonytone527 Everyone has to know they too can carry the boat
"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" Stephen R. Covey.
Very good indeed,have even recommended it to someone before seeing this.what a coincidence.
I wrote my dissertation on the 7 Habits
ooh very good book...
I just ordered mine earlier today, along with the first book mentioned in the video. Someone recommended it to me, glad to see others also think they’re life changing
God, this one changed my life for good.
"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" Stephen R. Covey. "
Very nice
My principal forced us to read that
I needed all of these. Thank you so much.
2:49 "This changed my life." *throws it on the floor* :P
Xd
Ian Letarte “book” synonymous to “content” which he’s already read through!
Probably throws it on the couch.
😂😂
lol
“Think and Grow Rich” is a classic
I’m currently about 80% through "Playbook to Millions by Grant Cardone. I have read a lot of entrepreneurial books and self improvement books, and this book is my absolute favorite. This book is extraordinary and really gets you to work extremely hard toward your goals in life and succeed at multiple different areas like career and relationships. This is an absolute must buy if you need a push to get you going in business or you want more out of life.
The book "five languages of love" had a life-changing effect on my relationship with others.
Same for me
In what way has it helped if you don’t mind me asking
@@bigscapone1261 being more intentional.
It mainly identifies the love language ur partner spaek so it play key role in keeping the spark alive
Sounds interesting, Ill give it a try. Thank you
Reading books like these are great to get better at your mindset. More that 90% of your success is related to your mindset. As they say mindset is everything. Thank you.
How to Win Friends and Influence People definitely impacted me a lot. And now im working for the company Dale Carnegie Training
wow that's awesome!! I just finish the book and i love it! So i was wondering that his company stills exists and make training ??
@Rust Cohle Thanks!!
"The very hungry caterpillar"-by Eric Carle..the first book I ever read!😁
My two favourite:
1. Ego is the Enenmy - Ryan Holiday
2. The Quantum Warrior - John Kehoe
The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle
Loving What Is - Byron Katie
The Personal MBA - Josh Kaufman
“Books are uniquely portable magic.”
the publishing industry who ruin the Amazon forrest want people to believe that. But yes some books are worth it.
@@eduardochavacano Lets go the e-route then. Kindle and such are a welcome alternative.
The 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch+ Living the 80/20 way really blew my mind
The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz is a great motivator. Shows the power of human innovation, spirit, and ingenuity in the face of difficulties. Every time I read it I feel rejuvenated and energized.
The Intelligent Investor is one of my favorites! Love every single on on this list too
The life changing magic of tidying up - Marie Kondo
A great book for decluttering n organising
Paula Španić lame
These books will help with my current situation. Thanks for sharing!
Don't have the time. So scrolled down to comments sections. Seen the books titles. Then back to next video. Thank you for sharing.
Essentialism by Greg McKeown. All about how to focus on what's important to you and block at the noise that's holding you back.
I really care about other people's dreams. I find it fascinating!
I swear i came here for the books but i ended up staring at him and subscribing right away. I'm hopeless
hahaha nice. If you are passionate about learning, you might find my channel interesting 🌿
Rich Dad Poor Dad is really a must read for everyone! It changed my life. I wish I read it earlier...
a good book on negotiation is "Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It"
great book indeed
I recommend "Think and Grow Rich". A very powerful book with some great lessons for life.
The best of the best 👍🏼
Congrats for almost hitting a million subscribers! You earned it!
I have always loved reading. Thank you for suggestions on my collection.
I recommend Death by Shelly Kagan. I've always had questions/fear towards the concept of death but this book helped me lighten the load if that makes any sense. It's a must-read for anyone who often contemplates death.
I feel good when i got two of that list on my shelves. So,we are together in this .
Thanks for this list Nate. I really appreciate it.
amazing Nate... love your tips
2:42 It's funny just changing the order makes such a huge difference
Great recommendations! Here are some of my favorites:
1. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
2. Power of Habit
3. Secrets of the Millionaire Mind
My all time favorite would probably be the Rich Dad Poor Dad
The Secret is also a good one
"Think and Grow Rich" - Napoleon Hill
"Psycho-Cybernetics" - Maxwell Maltz
"The Power of Positive Thinking" - Norman Vincent Peale
"How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" - Dale Carnegie
Thank you
if u have read think and grow rich, you should definitely read "law of success" by Napoleon Hill!👍
Thank you! I want to spend the quarantine learning sometinh new, nice vid:)
Remit Sethi- I Will Teach You To Be Rich 2nd edition. My absolute favorite. It's actively changing the way I spend, earn, and live. I'm so grateful for this book.
Never understood all the fuss over that book. It's common sense.
"The Road less traveled" by Scott Peck. It changed my whole outlook to life. Encouraged me to quit a great job in Africa, quit going to church and led me on a Spiritual path that I am still on. Everytime I see it on my book self it gives me chills because that was very bold of me when I look back.
Susan Kiarie I ve read the book too and is awesome ,btw I am so proud of you ♥️
Thank You for sharing your favorite books!
Mine is “Difficult Conversations”. It changed my life!
Every time I watch any of your videos I find really cool things and more important things that I can apply to my life!! Seriously thank you for making this video
Getting Things Done by David Allen. Customize that system to your needs, be an efficient hawk.
Rest of your list are books I've read, all winners. Negotiate over interests, not positions, a key life skill.
I'm an introvert too. "QUIET: The Power of Introverts in A World That Can’t Stop Talking" is a fantastic book.
I was looking for some books to read. Thank you for this video!
Thank you for your content and your insightful information!
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
totally changed my beliefs, and the way I look at the world.
The books that changed my life: R.Sharma - Who will cry when you die, B.Tracy - Maximum Achievement
I bought Maximum Achievement way back in the 90's when it came out and it always managed to inspire me whenever I picked it up over the years. I've always been surprised that nobody ever seems to mention it.
@@brianbirish You seem to read tons of books, bro.
@@muzaffarjonumidjonov1438 Not really my friend. Not sure why you say that. I'm 58 years old and have read about 5 to 10 books per year for the last 40 years. Nearly all non-fiction.
Thank you for these amazing reads ; always a fan to your recommendations
I will check out these books Today! Thanks
I love books with intellectual vitamins. Sadly people don’t realize how a man’s whole life can be changed by one book.
As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill, The Mastery of Destiny by James Allen, Callings by Gregg Levoy, and Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch
As a man thinketh has greatly altered my thinking attitude. I have read it countless times and definitely recommend it to everyone.
Thanks for this. Really appreciated. Stay blessed and connected
I speak English as a second language, and reading was my only way to acquire a robust vocabulary. I LOVED your video, Nate.
