If we get enough positive feedback from this episode, we'll make a part 2 with more recommended books!

This has been a HIGHLY requested podcast, so here we are. As you know, we're huge readers and today we go over our top 10 books. We cover a few lessons learned, and talk about why they're our favourites.

Listed points:
1- Atomic Habits - James Clear
-Simple guide to building good habits and breaking bad ones
-Our habits follow a 4-Step Habit Loop which includes: cue, craving, response and reward.

2- Compound Effect - Darren Hardy
-Small, seemingly insignificant actions can lead to huge results over time. You don't need to do anything dramatic or drastic to achieve your goals- make a few small changes every day and see the radical difference.

3- Stillness is the Key - Ryan Holliday
- People don’t understand that the hardest thing is actually doing something that is close to nothing. It demands all of you… there is no object behind you. It’s just you.
-In sports, coaches speak about “the process” this play, this still, this rep. Not just because this moment is special, but because you can’t do your best if your mind is elsewhere.
-A study showed that subjects would rather give themselves an electric shock then be bored for more than a few minutes.

4- 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Steven Covey
-Be Proactive
-Begin with the End in Mind

5- How To Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie

- Be a good listener.
- Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
- Make the other person feel important – and do it sincerely.

6- Success Principles - Jack Canfield
- If you want to be successful, you have to take 100% responsibility for everything that you experience in your life.
- Everything you think, say, and do needs to become intentional and aligned with your highest purpose, your values, and your goals.
- To achieve desired outcomes, one must replace complaining with making requests and taking action.

7- 10x Rule- Grant Cardone
1) you should set targets for yourself that are 10X greater than what you believe you can achieve and 2) you should take actions that are 10X greater than what you believe are necessary to achieve your goals. The biggest mistake most people make in life is not setting goals high enough.

8- Can’t hurt me- David Goggins
-Inspiring story of coming from nothing, to pushing full potential.
-Self talk without the work is just a lie.
-The 40% Rule is the idea that when our mind is telling us to quit, that our body has actually only used up 40% of it's potential.
