Last week I shared my first seven Book Prescriptions—titles I recommend constantly because they solve very specific problems.

Today I’m back with the next seven. These are the books I turn to (and re-read) whenever someone asks me things like:

• “How do I come up with a catchy name for my idea or business?”
• “I want to become a paid speaker—where do I even start?”
• “Why do I keep making expensive mistakes?”
• “How do I stop procrastinating and actually create?”
• “How can I host a gathering where people actually connect?”
• “I want to write a book, but I don’t know where to begin.”
• “Why do I (and other people) make the decisions we do?”

In this episode, I break down exactly which book I recommend for each of these problems—and why.

These aren’t just “good reads.” They’re practical guides that give you frameworks, templates, and tools you can use immediately to save yourself time, money, and energy (and avoid those “stupid taxes” Keith Cunningham talks about).

📚 Mentioned in this episode:

• Pop by Sam Horn
• Book More Business by Lois Creamer
• The Road Less Stupid by Keith J. Cunningham
• The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
• The 2-Hour Cocktail Party by Nick Gray
• Write Useful Books by Rob Fitzpatrick
• Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

If one of these challenges is on your plate right now, pick up the book I suggest—you’ll thank yourself later.
