When I started this blog I had one big theme I was focusing on. That was mastering my mindset and helping other men to improve their mindset.
I realized very early in my process of transforming my life that mindset would be the key to creating success in my life.
So with that in mind, I thought about which books I would recommend for any person when it comes to the topic of mindset.
If someone comes to me right now and tells me this: “Give me your best mindset books to change my life.”
What would those books be?
So after my previous book lists on other topics, this one was more tricky to put together but I managed to narrow it down to 13 books.
If you were on an island with time to work on your mind then these are the books to take with you.
As I'm writing this post I am on an Island in Thailand having a short detour on my way to East Asia.
And at the moment I'm doing some work on my own mind.
So here is my list of best books on mindset and success.
Control your mind and control your life.
