Live the Life You Love - Barbara Sher
A truly insightful book that can change your life! We often read that if we think a certain way, and do things a certain way we can make what we want happen. Then of course we wonder what is wrong when things don't workout. The author explains why positive thinking, affirmations, and willing and wishing aren't always successful.

Eat that Frog - Brian Tracy
A must read for all Procrastinators! Eat that Frog is an excellent motivational book and is a short, fast read. As the author says, it doesn't dwell on the psychology of procrastination; rather, it gets right to the action. Brian covers such things as determining priorities, delegating and eliminating tasks, knowing what's okay to procrastinate about, and when to tackle your "frog" (your big task that will lend the greatest results) first or a lesser priority task. A great read to help develop new habits with increasingly less effort.
