Unfortunately, I have way too many books on my Kindle at the moment and find it difficult to make time for reading them all. I got into a bit of an addictive spell and was ordering one business book after another. After seeing this list I may end up getting back to my old habits and ordering some more.

These books are heaven in a bundle! Definitely great for gift-giving and for swapping with friends. Weird huh, but when we get good finds, we swap books with our pals.

In reply to Christine Brady.

I agree with you on Positioning by Ries and Trout, which has been out for, what 25 years?

I recommend anything by Dan Kennedy. His Marketing to the Affluent was mentioned. He has a book on selling information and one on time management. All are good.

Love is a Killer App by Tim Sanders is excellent, if for no other reason than his chapter on how to read a book.

Jack Canfield’s The Power of Focus is great.

My favorite book from 2012 is Mark Schaefer’s Return on Influence.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have some books to add to the list!

Hello and Thank you nicole,

I came across this book just a few days ago and the title got me in straight away:
“It’s not how good you are, It’s how good you want to be.”

I love the sub-title: “The world’s best-selling book by Paul Arden.”

The contents are as good as the title and sub-title, very motivational and full of real life case examples. It’s only 127 pages but still a gem! You could easily call it: Today’s little book of golden motivational nuggets!

A Phaidon Press release.

My best to you guys.

Peace and love always,

JF Trin

Hi Nicole,

So many great titles to choose from here –

As for me, I’m going between “Positioning” by Al Ries and Jack Trout – which is just amazing by the way.

And “All Marketers Tell Stories” by Seth Godin, another awesome one, which I’m almost finished with.

Will have to check out some of these for my next endeavor!

Thanks and have a great weekend!
