7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey

Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” is a classic. Anyone who wants to experience personal or organizational change would probably have read or heard about this book.

Thoughts for Young Men by Bishop J.C Ryle

I am a 22-year-old, unmarried, young, Christian man. And I first read Bishop Ryle’s “Thoughts for Young Men” when I was 19 years old. I was fresh from college and just landed my first job.

12 Rules For Life by Dr. Jordan Peterson

Atomic Habits by James Clear

Most people think that the best way to change habits is by setting a goal and driving one’s willpower to achieve it. To a certain degree this is right. However, what most fail to consider is the system we’ve already built. Habits aren’t primarily goals. Habits are primarily systems.
