Chris’ Library

I love to read, always have. I read on average a book a week as part of my own development and learning as well as for research for my own writing. Often people email me with what books I recommend they should read. With this in mind I went one better and decided to review the books I read as I go. It will take me a while to work back through my library but I hope it is useful. The best way you can help me is to comment on my reviews to help other other and suggest to me books you think I should review.

Most books I read are autobiography and personal development and I have categorised them below. Some books fit into multiple categories so I have put them in what I see as the most obvious.

Enjoy!!

    Chris, followed you backwards from Sean Rasmussen. Thought “Rich Dad Poor Dad” was good till I read “Think and Grow Rich”, which was great. Similar thoughts till I discovered “The Winners Bible”. Finally someone had given us m o s t of the steps to follow. Reading is a large part of the incentive to proceed.I have learnt a lot along the way and wish you well with your journey. Depending on what you are looking for, “Manhood” and “He’ll be Ok” are great reads too.

    Thanks Gary, I appreciate you checking out my website. My ‘TV’ is reading and I have a pile of books to get through and others to purchase so I’ll add those to the list of recommendations and hopefully review them later in the year!
