5 books would have changed my life, if I had read them in High School

I recently got asked which 5 books would have changed my life, if I had read them in High School?

Before I started reading these books, I didn’t understand the compound effect of making small changes daily. I didn’t understand the best ways to work and achieve all my goals. My journey has taken me down a path of losing 50lbs, battling anxiety & depression, an eating disorder in college, dependence on cigarettes' and alcohol. There was a house fire due to my cigarette that landed us in a hotel for a few months and this past year a divorce driven by money issues.

When I say these books changed my life, it’s not an understatement! Here is why you should read them:

1. 15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time Management by Kevin Kruse https://amzn.to/2MpluZ3

This book is about 15 specific traits that successful people have. I figured if I even picked up a few I’d be in a better place. This book started it all... probably listened to this 30+ times and have since been working on these traits.

2. Atomic Habits by James Clear https://amzn.to/3iQmAt3

The idea of the smallest changes make big results. 1% better with a compound effect. This book made sense of my journey of eliminating smoking and drinking out of my life. I always suggest this book to stop unhelpful habits.

3. The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod https://amzn.to/3a6LEIh

If you could design your day to be super productive and have a better day by waking up early and spending an hour working on you.

4. Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey https://amzn.to/3qVqbZB

Thankfully I found this book years ago, wish it was there in my 20's but never too late. This book has taken me down a path of financial freedom with a goal to teach MY children what I didn't know at their age.

5. 10X Rule By Grant Cardone https://amzn.to/2YgVzW6
