10 Powerful Books That Can Change Your Life and the Way You Think

I’m someone who is constantly striving for personal growth and self-improvement, and I’ve found reading to be the most effective way to transform my life in a positive way. There’s no reason why they can’t do the same for you! Books allow us to peer into the minds of great thinkers, successful leaders, and spiritual leaders, gaining wisdom in the process that we can apply to our own journey.

For this article, I’d like to share 10 books that have transformed my worldview, not to mention my lifestyle. These are the kinds of life changing books to read when you feel stuck in a rut, unmotivated, or simply want to better yourself. They are sure to challenge your assumptions and offer tools to help you navigate both your inner and outer worlds.

With that, here are my top 10 picks for the best books to read that change your life:

1. “Ego is the Enemy” by Ryan Holiday

This book is a powerful wake-up call. Drawing on Stoic philosophy, Holiday illustrates how ego can sabotage our success and cloud our judgment. But he doesn’t simply implore us to suppress our pride, he comes up with practical techniques for cultivating humility and improving self-awareness. Thanks to this book, I have a better understanding of how my ego influenced my decisions and taught me how to step back and lead with purpose.
