And I don't just mean the pretty good ones - I'm talking about books that shake the rafters and leave an indelible impression on the reader. These are the real life changers, and we've listed our favorites here.

Happy Reading!

Talk about a life-changing book! Mr. Robbins goes through and outlines how our belief systems are formed, what steps we can tak to change them, and how they should be changed to consciously create our life. I especially love all of the great quotes and cartoons that are included.

If you like solving puzzles, this is the book for you! Two multi-millionaires have created a book filled with codes, that when cracked, reveal the secret to wealth beyond your wildest dreams. Instructions, guidelines, and help with the puzzles is included - as well as a really fun website: http://www.crackingthemillionairecode.com.

Creative Visualization
by Shakti Gawain

We hear a lot about visualizing the life we want, but Ms. Gawain shows you exactly how to do this through meditation, affirmations, visualization exercises, and other techniques to break old patterns and create healthy images. I also like that she refers to several other great books to read.

Favorite! I wish this book had been written twenty years ago. If you want a healthy body, this is the way to do it. Ms. Reno lost a significant amount of weight in her forties and went on to become a fitness model and competitor. She understands and knows how to help you do it too.

Emotional Genius
by Karla McLaren

This is another book that really changed my perspective. There are no good emotions or bad emotions. They all serve as internal guidance counselors that help us to identify what is and isn't working in our lives. Ms. McLaren teaches how to work with these emotions to create a more grounded, peaceful existence.

Instant Income
by Janet Switzer

Are you leaving money on the table? Ms. Switzer teaches the techniques to bring in the cash that you may be overlooking. She also shares proven strategies to increase cash, and I love all of the extras freebies she's included; like other books to read, websites, companies that can help, and her own website: http://www.instantincome.com/free-gifts.html.

If you don't have the time or money to head off to business school - or if you just need a refresher course, this is a GREAT book. An impesive cast of professors, consultants, and entrepreneurs have come together to share insights, case studies, and models to build your own successful business.

Please Understand Me II
by David Keirsey and Marilyn Bates

This is my all-time favorite book to understand myself and others. As a manager, I would have all of my staff take the temperament sorter to enable me to guide them to utilize their inherant strengths and provide coaching in areas where they may need to compensate in order to meet their career goals. LOVE it!

Rich Dad Poor Dad
by Robert Kiyosaki

People are a product of their environment. We can only learn what we are taught or what we seek; and unfortunately, as parents we don't always know enough to help our kids break through to higher levels of thinking and learning. This is a great book that helps to identify patterns and beliefs that may be impacting your finances.

The Business of Consulting
by Elaine Biech

Whether you own a business or want to become a consultant, Elaine Biech provides the sample forms, documents, tips, and tricks to become successful now. The book includes a CD with tons of forms that you can customize for your business. Excellent information and resources!

The Butt Book

by Tosca Reno

If your backside could use a lift, this is the book to do it. The exercises are challenging and can be done with no equipment or at the fanciest gym. Ms. Reno also discusses the importance of eating clean, and drinking plenty of water. GREAT!

The One Minute Millionaire
by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen

If you like this website, you can thank these two gentlemen. This is an incredible book that teaches how to become an enlightened millionaire in a very short period of time (90 days!). The concepts are presented in both a step-by-step instruction manual and in a heart-warming fictional story.

The Secret
by Rhonda Byrne

This popular phenomenon is worth reading. It teaches the consept that our thoughts have energy and whether positive or negative; the energy creates emotions and experiences to match. If we want to change our lives, we first have to change our thoughts. I really love the quotes!

The Success Principles
by Jack Canfield and Janet Switzer

Excellent insights and practical advice to move from mediocrity to extraordinary. These are two real-world masters who share profound teaching in a warm and friendly way. I love the references to other great books, and the stories and examples to put these principles into practice.

Think and Grow Rich!
by Napolean Hill

This is an oldie but a goodie. If you haven't read it; or haven't read it in awhile, I strongly encourage it. A short read, Mr. Hill was a pioneer in the field of the energy of thought and our ability to change our outcome by changing our thoughts patterns.

Anytime two masters come together, it is worth checking out - and I'm so glad I did. This books is a wealth of information and practical advice to do what they did to get what they got. It's like having them at your side as a mentor. The two different personalities show that anyone can do it.
