Food for the Soul

38. They Call Me Coach–by John Wooden with Jack Tobin;

Some reviews:

• John Wooden is perhaps America’s greatest coach. His UCLA basketball team won ten national championships, including seven in a row. Concomitant with winning was his insistence on character and virtue rather than getting caught up with results.
• John Wooden’s dedication and inspiration made him America’s “winningest” coach. His beliefs in hard work and preparedness brought the UCLA Bruins an unparalleled 10 NCAA basketball championships. Now in this bestselling autobiography–with a Foreword by Hall-of-Famer Bill Walton–the college basketball legend reflects on his record-breaking career, his life behind the scenes, and how his top players went on to shape and change the NBA.

39. Think and Grow Rich: The Landmark Bestseller–Now Revised and Updated for the 21st Century–by Napoleon Hill;

Some reviews:

• Think and Grow Rich has been called the “Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature.” It was the first book to boldly ask, “What makes a winner?” The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world’s winners himself.
• THINK & GROW RICH is a true classic for a very good reason — it has sound advice that works.

40. The Fountainhead–by Ayn Rand;

Some reviews:-

• This is one of the fastest paced books I have ever read. Ayn Rand’s characters come to life as she paints very clear pictures of who they are and what they represent. She does this in spite of the fact that the dialogue is sometimes a bit wooden and stilted. In this novel, she sets forth her philosophy of “objectivism.”
• This book is full of passion, including a flaming, complex romantic affair between individualist architect Howard Roarke and socialite Dominique Francon.
• While setting forth her philosophy, Rand has also given us a novel which has a well developed plot. I found the novel to be gripping and I couldn’t put it down.

41. Move ahead with Possibility Thinking–by Robert Schuller;

Some reviews:-

• This is a once in a lifetime book that takes your breath away. Rev. Schullers words of encouragement, inspiration and success thinking is heads and shoulders above the field.

42. The Greatest Salesman in the World–by Og Mandino;

Some reviews:-

• It seems trite to say it, but reading this book was one of the greatest spiritual experiences (so far at least! ) of my life. This is the book that launched the career of Og Mandino, the author, and in the process, transformed the lives of millions of his readers, who put the information and learning in this slim volume into their daily lives.
• The Greatest Salesman in the World is a tiny book, and it is a treasure. First published in 1968, Og Mandino’s classic remains an invaluable guide to a philosophy of salesmanship. Mandino’s clear, simple writing style supports his purpose: to make the principles of sales known to a wide audience.

43. Richest Man in Babylon - The Success Secrets of the Ancients–by George Clason;

Some reviews:-

44. THE SOUL OF A NEW MACHINE–by Tracy Kidder.

Some reviews:-

• I have to chucle when people say that outstanding books like this one by George Clayson are just “good old fashioned common sense” and are complaining because of the books brevity.
• When I started in sales 15 years ago, a very good friend of mine turned me on on the mind books. This was one of three he recommended and he was very successful.The other books were Think and Grow Rich and Success through a Positive Mental Attitude.
• George S. Clason did a wonderful job gathering information for this book. If you understand the Laws of Success better in parable form, then this book is for you!
