What Top 5 Books Will You Read In 2009?

[GordonJ]

Here are the 5 books I'm reading this month:

The Science of Marketing by Mail by Homer J. Buckley

How to Increase Your Money-Making Power by John Alan Appleman

The Path of Least Resistance by Robert Fritz

The Power of Psychic Awareness by Kingdon L. Brown (Parker Publising)

The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell

All are RE-reads with the exception of the one bolded. Although I have a pretty complete Parker Pub library, I didn't have this one.

Also, January is a review month for me, so I'll be going over the bookshelf looking for lost nuggets of wisdom from a variety of sources.

Books that I reach for every January:

Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz
The Sale Begins When the Customer Says No by Elmer Leterman
The Prophet by Kahil Gibran
Norvell's Dynamic Laws of Successful Living by Anthony Norvell
Giant Steps and other works by Barry Neil Kaufman
And a complete review of Harvey Brody's course on Toll Positions.

I read every day. It is a lifelong habit, like writing every day. Best investment I ever made was in Harry Lorayne's memory course with a speed reading section in it.

I can't find much NEW stuff that holds my interest. If you have a NEW must read book, please let us know.

PS. And I'll be reading some of my old stuff too, the early 90's stuff is filled with great advice I wish I would have taken...HA!

Hi Gordon:

I got an old copy several years ago of the book Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. It changed my life because it gets to the heart of the matter which I think has to do with deep seated limiting beliefs that reside in the subconscious.

That book led me to another book I have enjoyed reading which is "The Key" by Joe Vitale. It talks about many methods to get clear of limiting beliefs in your life and be able to move forward.

Great reading for this time of the year.

I just started re reading ATLAS SHRUGGED by Ayn Rand..I first read it back in the early 60's ( my Objectivist phase) and I think it's relevant right now..
Where is JOHN GALT?
