I don’t want to dis on other people’s lists of books, but the more list I see, the more often I see the same books over and over again. I mean, is there a rule that says The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen R. Covey must appear on every list?

So I went through my bookshelf and looked for some of the most useful books I have read that don’t seem to make it on to list very often if at all. I think these books are real gems. They made a big difference in my thinking and my life. They can do the same for you.

A Philosopher’s Notes: On Optimal Living, Creating an Authentically Awesome Life and Other Such Goodness, by Brian Johnson.

A Philosopher’s Note by Brian Johnson

I love this little book written up in one-page lessons that are made more impactful by their conciseness. Brian moves through these nine main topics in the book; Optimism, Purpose, Self-Awareness, Goals, Action, Energy, Wisdom, Courage, Love, and En*theos (God/Spirit/The Universe).
