1sssst!!! Love this guy! Keep it up Matt!!
atomic habits

Power of your subconscious mind
'Unveiling Your Hidden Potential' by Bruce Thornwood is a must read and i recommend it to everyone
Liliveria - magical books on Money and Self-Improvement (thank me later)
Finished 'Wealth's Loyal Companion: The Uncharted Path to Prosperity' recently, and it's a standout read. It's not your typical finance book - it delves into creating a fulfilling life in all areas. Loved the mix of inspirational stories and clear, actionable advice. The emphasis on discipline and lifelong learning is a real eye-opener. An essential read for anyone wanting more than just financial success.
"The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" - All about slowing down. Great read.
I love your videos sir ❤.
Great book
Amen, brother!
To Hell with the Hustle, is also a good one
Yes!

“Goodbye, Things” by Fumio Sasaki. Over the years I lost my way with minimalism and started living a maximalist lifestyle. I was miserable. This book brought me back to the practices of minimalism that made my life better.
Great book! I got a chance to meet Fumio Sasaki years ago before this whole UA-cam thing. Really lovely guy!
“The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo was the first book I read after many years of not reading anything. I was just trying to tidy up the apartment. And even though it’s about tidying up and minimalism, it lead me to read over 50 self-help book from 2016 until now. And I must say that I am a better person because of that. 😊
I tell people all the time that they actually need to read the book and not just watch a youtube video about the KonMari method. Otherwise you miss out on some very valuable life design philosophy and insight into our relationship with our stuff. I have reread it twice. Great book!
"Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius changed my whole perspective on life
It's one of those books that you must read before you die.
Ditto.
Just ordered it based on the many accolades I have heard about this book from various sources. Looking forward to it!
i like your channel! #newsubbie !
also will check out the book 🙏🏽
Thats funny, i started reading it a while ago for no particular reason. Good to know i shouldnt put it down
Funny thing happened when I was reading Atomic Habits.
James Clear in an anecdote mentions this book called "The EASYWAY to quit smoking" and I ran and got that book because I was really struggling with the awful habit of smoking.
It's been a year, and I have never been prouder of myself.
Congrats!
It really is a great book!
Amazing book
I love self-development books and I'm excited to read your new suggestions.
As for life-changing books, Reading 12 Rules for Life was a reset for me. Understanding that I'm the author of my reality empowered me to get off autopilot. When I finished the book I went back to college at 27. I'm graduating with my bachelor's in 2 months with a job already lined up.
And, side note, thanks to advice from Dave Ramsey and I Will Teach You to Be Rich I'll be graduating debt free. Definitely recommend.
Oh wow, deciding to go back to college at 27 is an accomplishment on its own imo. I am also reading 12 rules for life at the moment:)
That's so awesome! Congratulations.
Yeah, I was going to write 12 Rules for Life too, and then I saw your comment. It's a great book and guidance for a better life. But I dislike it when people say something "changed my life", it's such a meaningless cliche.
"The obstacle is the way " is the one book that truly changed my life. I went through a lot of pain in my mid-20s and I struggled to see the positives of my struggles. That book changed my perspective on my view on obstacles. Those obstacles have actually brought me down a path that I am very happy to be walking on today
"Tuesdays with Morrie" has been my absolute favorite. I don't know how many times I have read it. And it still gives me new things to learn in life and accept about myself and people around me. I think you'll love it too.
"Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" - hands down. I'm 62. I read it in my 20's, and again every 10 years or so. It had a profound impact on my work life, but also helped me keep myself headed in my own direction.
💯!!!
Loved that one!!
Was about to write it in the comments, and then saw it first in the comments! Absolutely one of the best books that had the biggest impact on me.
Great read.
Never thought Matt D avelle and his wife would give me the talk that my parents failed to give me at the appropriate age. You guys would be great parents. I am already jealous of your kid!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Quiet by Susan Cain changed my life. This book helped me accept myself as an introvert and to live my life in a way that works better for me. I have so much more energy now that I don't fight my own nature.
"How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie. If you want people to feel better when you are around that book is a must.
”Relentless” by Tim Grover & ”Atomic Habits” by James Clear are two books that have really stuck with me over the years 📚
I still think Atomic Habits is the best self help book ive ever read. The way Clear lays out the ideas and application is unmatched
Definitely two books that have always been high on my list!
@@Gruso57 agree, great book.
Reading Atomic Habit at the moment! Hopefully it’ll come into my “life changing book list”!
@@Gruso57 same here
What I talk about when I talk about running - Haruki Murakami . Yes I’m sure this will disappear into the white noise of this comment section and yet this book was so good that I still felt compelled to add it to the list as there are few that have even come close to moving and motivating me like this piece.
I added it to my reading list :)
A great read! Good memories from that book
it's a brilliant little book
Awesome book
This book is amazing and inspiring!❤
i think atomic habits will forever be my special life-changing book. i can't put into words how this book has shaped my life for the better in regards to habits, sticking to them, and actually achieving my goals. the steps may seem obvious to some, but this is a book i recommend to literally anybody who asks for a recommendation in the personal development space ☺
Currently reading bell hooks' "All About Love: New Visions." I can already say it's life-changing because of how insightful the book is.
"Start With Why" by "Simon Sinek" is my favorite so far for this year.
I've decided to read 50 books this year, 20 books about finance & money, 10 books about religion (Islam) and 20 books about other areas.
I like your videos and sometimes I end up rewatching some of them, keep it up 👍🏽
Love Simon Sinek! Great book and great challenge!! Good luck Aram.
Hey Matt, a book that was very informative for me was “Never Split the Difference,” by Chris Voss. The book is focused mostly on negotiation but it has so many lessons about the purpose of communication. He has very insightful perspective on, “no.” He explores why people are so afraid of “no” and how it almost never means what we think it does. Happy reading!
"When breath becomes air" by Paul Kalanithi - it was truly moving and had great impact on me. Written by a beautiful person. His words speak for themselves. I keep coming back to that book every single year and it happens for a reason :) 10/10 recomend
I‘m a bit surprised that no one mentioned it so far but Eckhart Tolle „Power of Now“ and „A New Earth“ Are two spiritual and Self helping Books That taught me so much. Disconnecting From the Ego, Living in the Present Moment, Reducing anxiety etc. 10/10
Yes! These two are so powerful. Changed my life and attitude
Meh. Try The Power of Then.
I was hoping to see these on Matt’s list since I’ve seen The Power of Now in one of his B-rolls from an old video but maybe it didn’t resonate with him 😅
"The ALchemist" isn't necessarily a self help book but it definitely changed my life and I go back to it every time I feel like the world is against me.
YES
For some reason, that book didn't resonate with me at all.
@Dan O same with me. It was a good story but felt nothing as life changing
Superb
@@Molego2011 I first read it when I was 15 and understood absolutely nothing, but reread at 20 and it ”rocked my world”. It really helped me understand some crucial things about how life works. It is also the kind of book that you reread many times and you always see it in a different light / take away different ideas. Please give it another try soon🙏
“I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, 'Where's the self-help section?' She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.”
― George Carlin
But its self help not alone help. Listening to suggestions doesn't destory the purpose for me as long as you pick the ones that you think you actually need.
How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie
It's a horrible title, but the book actually taught me a lot about empathy and genuine connection.
“The life changing magic of tidying up”. It’s changed me into a more organized person, and also introduced me to minimalism even if that wasn’t the premise of the book. Most importantly, once I stripped away a lot of material burdens, I have walked away being the most productive version of myself.
The self help book that changed my life was 'At last a life' by Paul David. It was the final push out of my OCD, and I am very grateful for that.
hello Matt and greetings to all, I would like to mention to you the book Astro Money Alchemy, which talks about the mysterious secrets of attracting money and building massive businesses, simply genius, and once again to thank you for such a good video, thank you Matt
Nice video Matt! My fav would be "Quiet" by Susan Cain which focuses on the introverted perspective in people which it is not a weakness but a strength and highlights how they perform well if given the understanding and opportunity.
Matthew Walker "Why we sleep". This book really changed the way I look at my sleep routine and how much care I put into this area of life. It's a bit scientific but a fascinating and powerful read!
What a timing! I was planning on going barnes&noble today and was looking for suggestions 👏🏻
Already this first one sounds incredibly inspiring. Thank you matt 🙏🏻
"The Power of Habit" - A book that really put into perspective how we as ppl are basically wired and how to identify some of the key triggers that lead us to do some of the stuff that we do unintentionally or intentionally. Such a good read!
I admire and respect the way you describe and share your beliefs and ideas to a particular subject, Generally celebrity’s have fans and they follow them usually but I consider and even implement your pattern of living into different areas of life.
Cheers man I’m proud to be your subscriber.
The subtle art of not giving a f*ck , just an amazing book that puts a lot of things into perspective with no fluff. The author is very straightforward and honest which I loved
"How to be an Adult in Relationships" by David Richo sticks with me as it's a book on a subject that I don't dive into nearly as much as productivity/business. It gave me perspective on what it means to be a good partner/friend outside of sex. Thanks for the video, Matt!
Good one!
I read Tony Robbins book many years ago and it was so helpful. I actually purchased several of them and gave them to my young nephews at the time. I need to read it again. A refresher would be good.
Atomic Habits has been briliant helping me fight my ADHD that makes me lose focus on the important things, even getting depressed at some point. I've realized that staying away from my phone and replacing it with reading books and playing the piano has helped a lot already, I feel more in control of my thoughts as the days go by.
Genuine question. I also struggle with ADHD but I can’t read a book if my life depended on it. I always have to go back a page or two because i forget what I read. How do you do it?
@@emanuelrivera94 I'm not sure how bad your ADHD is, but I used to have the same problem. I'm 24 and just recently started getting into books. I also thought to myself I'm not sure if I'll even enjoy reading or remember what I read. This was because in school they had us read fiction books I didn't care for, just to test us on it or have us do an assignment on it. Because of that I didn't think I could read. A couple months ago I bought a nonfiction book, and it was 430 pages, but I read it. I read maybe a couple of chapters a day or every other day until I finished it. And I was actually able to pay attention to the book, because I found it interesting. I think that's the solution, read books you think you'll enjoy. Also don't read too much, otherwise you might stop paying attention and forget what you read. Sometimes my mind does wanter off while I'm reading and I'll go back to reread, or I'll just notice it and start to focus again on what I'm reading. You can also try audiobooks, whether it's just listening to them or following along.
6 months later - but- same here man! I've gotta put myself in the zone. If I know my phone is around or I know there's something else that can take my mind away - I can't pay attention to save my life. I gotta sit on my bed/patio, leave everything else out of arm's reach and just "start". Starting is the hardest part for me but once I get through a few pages I can normally commit. I also find if I set goals, i.e. read one chapter tonight, it's easier to attain. Also: Silence. I can't read if there's people around or something playing in the background.
Anyway best of luck!
“The almanack of naval” for building happiness and wealth. Really enjoyed this video thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks! Going to look into it 🐇
"The ONE Thing!" by Gary W. Keller and Jay Papasan... my daily bible since 2017.
The war of art had a big impact on me because at the time i was a struggling artist working a 9-5 with not enough time for my passions. I am still in that place but the emphasis on resistance helped me see life a bit differently. There will always be resistance to the things you want but not feeling defeated and taking control of your life will bring you closer to your goals and happier as you do it.
"Building a Second Brain", Thiago Forte. I always liked to store what I found important in an accessible place. With this book, not only my notetaking improved, but I also started enjoying more life: even if it's not a book about journaling, it made me start this habit again and in a better way.
Second this. First "self-help" book I've read that I instantly put into practice and stuck with.
Growing up, my dad had this really old copy of 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' by Dale Carnegie at home that I didn't really give a damn about until I read it for the first time during the height of the pandemic cause I was so bored at home. It was the first self-help book that I read and marked the start of my journey of self-improvement. It's definitely one of the books that changed my life and now sits on my work desk alongside my other newer self-help books.
Thank you Matt! I am eager to dive into some of these suggestions.
Similar to your experience with No Death, No Fear and The Obstacle is the Way, Pema Chödrön's When Things Fall Apart taught me to embrace the inevitable suffering of this world. It has allowed me to hold these events with compassion and acceptance, not only allowing me to accept myself but others on a deeper more connected level. I keep a copy to give to friends at at all times.
Excited to add some of these to my reading list, thanks Matt! Recently read "The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery " by Brianna Wiest and it's definitely a life-changer for me and one that I'll refer back to.
The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle, I got to admit, I had a couple of approaches to this book, but when it finally landed it greatly impacted the way I look at life. Thanks for your list, best wishes
Suzie Orman Women & Money was my first self help financial book. The advice was a game changer for me. It is not that I had not hear some of the advice before, but her focus on our psychological approaches to money made everything click at the right time.
“How to Win Friends and Influence People”. Helped me with my relationships.
Seneca - On the Shortness of Life. I picked it up when I was 17. First "self-help" book I've ever read. So much is packed into each paragraph / Sentence, that I probably only read a few pages every month. It was a lot to take in at a young age. It slowly shaped my entire outlook on life throughout my 20's and kick-started my adulthood
The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. It significantly impacted me the first time I read it and since then I have reread it every year. Each time I reread it something new catches me and causes a shift. Love it! Highly recommend it!
I love self help books! The one I keep coming back to is “how to win friends and Influence people in the digital age.” It’s the original Dale Carnegie book, updated with modern technology and examples!
you'd suggest the old one or the new one?
@@abcdabcd8605 the old one is a classic, but I recommend the new one from 2011. Same concepts, but updated for the digital age!
@@sarastilleke thanks for the suggestion
I love your self improvement content. You’re one of the reasons I started my own UA-cam channel 🙌
"Finishing Well" by David W.F. Wong really touched my life and those of many! And "Polyanna" though a novel for kids has been a self help book to me about the "Glad Game"
"The Expectation Effect" is one of my favorites! Teaches us that our mind CONTROLS reality! Fascinating concept check it out :)
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA WOW the level of manipulation and ignorance in this comment section is just rampant!
@@poweredman sounds like copium, its true. if you put your mind on positive outlooks and stop constantly expecting negativity and feeling negative and victimized, you can do much more because you'll notice much more. think the placebo effect, for example. or the difference in healing with someone without any support vs someone who does.

WAIT PEGASUS COMMENTED
« Rich dad, poor dad » was the first book I loved to read. And after that I read many books about finance,personal development 😊
So glad to see you posting more often!
Daring greatly is a book I’ve given away to many people. Thank you for your recommendations! I’m definitely going to check out a few of those!
Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less
Book by Greg McKeown
I will always cherish Buddhism for Mothers, by Sarah Napthali. I read it when I was pregnant 15 years ago and it set the perfect tone for how I wanted to be as a mother: calm, empathetic, kind. Parenting is hard work and it’s not always easy to hold to these principles, but I felt lucky to have prepared myself for the task with this book.
The book is titled "Tough times never last but tough people do" was the first book I actually ever completed, back when I was 16 and depressed, I got through it and became a better person, and I'm glad I read that book, Deep work is a fantastic book aswell!
Thanks Matt!!
The Four Hour Work Week had amazing principles in it which helped me feel normal for hating the standard 9-5
Also, Hector and the search for happiness was a beautiful fictional read (with substance) that was also turned into a movie (my fav!)
🤙🏽🤙🏽
Currently reading the Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. It's really good and talks about how to handle and prioritize certain situations. Almost feels like a book on philosophy
Great book!
my favorite too I´d say!
Atomic Habits by James Clear! It literally changed my perception about habit development and how small tweaks here and there can accumulate to give remarkable results!
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. This book gave me a new perspective on life and gave me the tools I needed to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Agreed. Plus, the Fifth Agreement: Be sceptical but learn to listen.
The life changing magic of tidying up - as cheesy and uncool as it seems now - truly changed my relationship to my things and truly just my whole outlook on life
Absolutely 💯💯
Reading is super important but remember to focus on trying the recommendation in the books. It's not about how many books we can read but how many ways they changed our mindset and habits.🤗 A great short book is "As a man thinketh"
Great!
I found Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman a great perspective on how we perceive time, less fear of missing out and more joy of missing out. Also How We Live Is How We Die by Pema Chodron, a Tibetan Buddhist perspective on the process of death and how we can change our relationship with it.
Yes that's a great one! Another one by Pema Chodron that I would highly recommend is When Things Fall Apart.
Just finished reading this. Not gonna lie, I cried.
I recently read Four Thousand Weeks and feel it was life changing
I’ve read this book twice and wow, did it change my view about planning and time management so much more. I feel like I need to journal more about it to completely apply to my life. I just have a habit of reading life-changing books but tend to forget about it afterwards ugh
The Road Less Traveled by M Scott Peck was the first self help book I read. It really helped push my mind into a much more productive and healthy direction. Looking forward to continuing that journey with you recommendations!
Tuesday's With Morrie was an emotional book about a young and old man with many lessons and good teachings.
I literally just started reading Man’s Search For Meaning. On page 10, reading slowly… really scary circumstances. Really interesting so far!
Hey me too! Im halfway through. Pretty eye opening
Why We Sleep - Matthew Walker. This book drops so many truths and realities of our lives around the way we sleep. It's eye opening and jaw dropping at the same time. Cannot recommend enough !!
*Just finished reading THE ALMANACK OF NAVAL RAVIKANT so perfect time to watch this video!!*
The alchemist! Such an incredible book and one I come back to time and time again.
One book that I've come back to for a third time now is "Never Split The Difference" by Chriss Voss. It's about a former FBI negotiator teaching the methods they developed, which revolve around understanding human emotions. Listened to it twice as an audiobook, and recently purchased a hard copy to read again and reference visually!
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and Atomic Habits both have altered my life significantly. Also Ryan Holidays newest Discipline Is Destiny is very good as well
Hey Matt, just wanted to say thank you for that Ramit interview. I read I Will Teach You To Be Rich after, and managed to get myself in a MUCH better financial position. Your video changed my financial life.
I’ve read a few self help books, but haven’t found the one to change my life yet)
Thank you for the video, looking forward to reading one of your recommendations ✌🏻
Think Like A Monk, Tuesdays with Morrie, and The Travelers Gifts. All three books have great reads and have help me navigate life in a more meaningful way.
“Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.” - Man's Search for Meaning------loved this book
The 7 Habit of Highly Effective People is a classic and one I come back to again and again
Thank you for the recommendations matt
‘On Writing’ by Stephen King. Not just about his writing practice, but more importantly how his work is part of his life and not vice versa. Also both explicitly and implicitly throughout the book is the fact that if you have a good partner alongside you throughout, everything - writing and life, will be easier. “If (my wife) had suggested that any of the time I spent writing stories… was wasted time, I think a lot of the heart would have gone out of me…. Her support was constant, one of the few good things I could take as a given. And whenever I see a first novel dedicated to a wife (or husband), I smile and think *there’s someone who knows*.
Mindset by Carol Dweck was incredibly impactful for me. It brought up the concept of fixed vs growth mindset at a time in my life when I was working through a lot of changes and challenges.
Also, not a self improvement book, but The Midnight Library by Matt Haig always inspires me to see possibility in choice ❤
Thank you!! Mindset happened to be available through my library, and I’ve been listening in ALL my free time today. Aha moments all day!
Reading "Mindset" right now. Very excited and can't wait to get through it.
One of my all time favorite books, and one that I keep sharing with anyone and everyone that is interested in the Consciousness evolution that we are experiencing, from the 'Information Age' to the 'Intuition Age', is Penney Peirce's "Leap of Perception". A brilliant book, with amazing insights that bring clarity to a lot of our bioenergetic changes and to how our perception processes are shifting, how the way we 'acquire' information is evolving from the traditional 'outside in' to the intuitive.
"Awaken The Giant Within" was the book that I first read when it first came out, that changed my life and set me also on my path of personal development.
The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer has affected the way I live my life since I read it a few years ago. Fantastic book!
When I was 13, I was gifted '7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens' by Sean Covey, and I can honestly say it changed my life. Looking back as an adult, most of its content seems rather obvious, but it was definitely the book I needed when growing from a child into an adolescent. It taught me to be more observant to my surroundings, it made me actually reflect on what was important to me, it taught me to be a better listener, and to be fair to other people while also respecting my own boundaries.
Thanks for the new book recommendations, Matt, I'm excited to check some of them out and am glad to hear that they helped you so much :)
Thanks for suggestions! I have actually read two of them! (Pease and Sethi)
The first books I read after high school where lots of books by Allan and Barbara Pease. It was such a eye-opener for me about reading others body language which I hadn't mastered.
Later, I don't know how I found it, but the book Quiet helped me understand that it's OK to not be talkative, and maybe gave me some reasurence or confidence about me begin a quiet and withdrawn person.
Now I just finished my biggest eye-opener so far: daughter detox. I never understood why I was and stil am a depressed and anxious person. Nothing bad really happened, but after reading this book I finally understood why and I can finally work on my recovery.
I really hope your suggestion "the obstacle is the way" may help me react more calmly than I do today which is straining for my close relations.
The book that first changed my life was, funnily enough, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo. Even when I first read it I couldn't take all of its claims at face value, but it helped me develop a more minimalistic mindset. I don't consider myself a full-on minimalist, but it was so valuable for me to be given explicit directions for severing my emotional attachment to things in my life that really weren't serving me - and that hasn't been limited to just my possessions.
Ryan Holiday’s newest book “Discipline is Destiny” quickly made its way onto my favorite book list.
His writing is stronger than ever, the book is practical with views from people like Queen Elizabeth II and Lou Gehrig. Highly recommend.
No way! I have been binge listening to the podcast and you constantly mention your favourite books and I thought to my self, I wonder if he has a video on this. Boom! Thanks mate, love from Melbourne
The happiness advantage was one of my favourite reads! Thanks Matt for the suggestion.
Reading is not just enough". Take the action! Put your newfound knowledge to use. I read for a long time but Action made my life change in no time ( generally and mostly financially)
That's my two cents on this
1 agree with 100%
Action makes it work, no matter how little start and see the results come
I struggle to follow through, especially financially. I earn quite enough but hardly have a saving. Rent, bills, debt, expenses take it all away. It almost feels like I leave paycheck to paycheck
Live below your means, Adjust your lifestyle, be frugal in spending don't buy unnecessary stuff, Budget your spending and your debts, Save, Invest it's a better way to grow wealth, get a financial expert to help you.
Thanks
1 hear hiring a financial coach is quite expensive but I will have a look at it.
I'd class it as self-help through a story, but I'd consider Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance one of my favourite books that really made me think
Also I'm downloading 3 of these books on my kindle to read for my flight tomorrow so thanks
Your video is so relaxing!!
“So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love” by Cal Newport. Had a big impact on me when I was going through one of my first career changes.
This one was a huge one for me. After 9 years of college (just for a BA) and trying to play 'catch-up' in building a career, it really helped me narrow in on and build up my strengths. Such a huge help in fact, it along with a few other books mentioned in this list ultimately led me to a huge career shift into something I enjoy doing.
This one completely changed my career life this year and my views toward work ethics. I'm 29 years old & I have been following my false assumption of becoming something I want to do with my life during my early 20s and burned out because I used to have this old belief that Following something I love will set me free. Since I sucked at reading, I first listened to the audiobook & applied the lessons to pursuing a career path that challenges me & learned to appreciate more about the obstacles along the way as I get better at the skill I'm learning each day at work.
I'm from Israel and I know alot of people that went through the Holocaust unfortunately. It's really meaningfull to me that you mentioned Victor Frankel man's search for meaning. ❤️❤️❤️
