I admit it. Reading books is what I love the most. Every week I read a book, sometimes a few.
Because I read so much I am in the position of recommending game changing books. The books that changed the life of many people, including my own life. They are so great that I urge you to get them right after reading this article to the end.
Book 1: Getting Things Done
This one literally saves my life. It helped me get my life in order and get me out of a depression. Implement what you learn in this book and you will be able to think a lot clearer and become a calm and relaxed person. The book is a bit dry, but there is a great community behind this productivity methodology that will gladly help you if you have questions. If you want to watch some speeches of the author David Allen, just head over to YouTube and search for GTD.
Book 2: The Art Of Learning
This book is amazing in the aspect that it shows clearly how important mastering the art of learning is for our life. If you acquire a skill once you can use it for life. With every additional skill that you learn, all your skills will become more effective as they start to interact with each other via new neural pathways.
As simple as it sounds, this insight will change the way you think about learning.
War Of Art
This book is brilliant. It’s all about the war you fight every day anew. In a nutshell it’s a war of willpower against resistance that you have to overcome each and every day. It never stops. It’s Resistance that beats us again and again: Resistance keeps us from sticking to our diet plan, working consistently, finishing the book or play that we always wanted to write. All these struggling people lose to their Resistance one more time than they win against it.
Luckily, the more often you win, the stronger you become and the easier it gets.
If you want to grow as a person, develop your skills and take all your chances, I urge you to go and read these books and apply the knowledge every day.
And here’s how to achieve more in StarCraft, my favorite computer game: StarCraft 2 Terran vs Protoss, StarCraft 2 Terran vs Zerg and SC2 Terran vs Terran!
