The Tipping Point is an intriguing book that investigates how small things make big impacts.  If you want to maximize your impact in life and business, this book is a great one to read!

A Quick Reference Guide to 100 Tools for Improving Quality and Speed.  I found this to be an excellent resource.  It is easy to digest and short enough to finish in a week.  If you internalize what is taught in this book, it will set you apart from the vast majority of those around you.

A good overview of why lean thinking can impact your life or business.  It introduces base concepts and gives real life examples.  

Triggers, by Marshall Goldsmith, is a book about creating lasting change in your life.  Marshall teaches you to understand your underlying triggers that either prevent you to change or move you to change.  Understanding these can unlock positive change in your life.  I wrote a 3-part blog series dissecting his 15 triggers - Start at the 1st one here.

Economics underpins much of the direction of society.  Having a deep understanding of economics can help you in many life decisions and circumstances.  Plus it is wildly fascinating.  Freakonomics offers a fresh perspective to the field of economics, written in an upbeat and clear manner.

This is an oldie but a goodie.  There's a reason why this book by Dale Carnegie has been around for over 80 years.  My parents both were required to read this book in their careers for management training.  After reading it myself, the learnings still apply to my generation.  People don't change.  Human habits don't change.  Do your future self a huge favor and read this book.

The Millionaire Next Door is another oldie but goodie.  It is a unique and thorough study done on millionaires and their personal habits.  In terms of life hacks, this book can reset your expectations of successful people and can put you on a path to understand and amass true wealth and financial freedom in your life.

This is a phenomenal book by Malcolm Gladwell that evaluates the landscapes of success.  He did a considerable amount of research on the lives of "outliers" to understand what truly makes someone successful.  The answers you'll find in this book are not only surprising, but can also be applied in your own life to maximize your success and life impact.  I found this book to be an interesting and eye-opening read!

The Speed of Trust is written by Stephen R. Covey.  I read this book mainly because I loved one of his other books so much (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People).  The Speed of Trust didn't disappoint!  This book discusses how trust changes the trajectory of your life - both personally and professionally.  Cultivating and inspiring trust in yourself and for yourself can speed up your life impact in amazing ways.
