Suggest some good motivation books / reading
Hey guys! We're all full of potential right? HIGH FIVE! So I want to read some books that will actually help me achieve some goals (or even work out what I want so I can set them) and I've read a fair bit of Anthony Robbins - Who is great if not quite heavy going.
Anyone got any good motivational books that aren't complete cod that they can recommend.

*walks on hot coals*
Thus Spake Zarathrustra
not really a motivational book
But this is excellent.

The Stranger - Albert Camus
Read it
Hardly motivational material.
Good though.
I think that was the joke he was making.
I dunno
It made me kill a man on a beach with a gun who was Arabic.
Or maybe that was The Cure's fault.
Not read the book so I can't recommend it for sure
but this looks like the kind of thing you're after:

Depends what you want to be motivated for.
If it's the mass genocide of your enemies then probably Mein Kampf.
If however it's just earning 40k plus, I'd go Chris Akabusi's Success Comes In Cans.

I could condense "Fear The Fear and Do It Anyway" into one sentence, and that would probably be the title. But I think it would be pretty good for someone who has debilitating fears of certain situations.
I find "How to Win Friends and Influence People" a little creepy. But it's an interesting read, if only for all the anecdotes.
The Quran
Don't they make cereal?
The Alchemist?
Most of them seem to have a similar message
BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF NOW.
How can someone constantly live in the moment? Impossible.
Of course you can
You need to read The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle for starters.
Mind of matter innit.
