Here comes mine:
1/Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand: this is The book I’d take with me if I’d be all by myself on a lost island and I’d have only 1 book to bring with me. I could not stop reading it and it’s on my night table so I can re-read sometimes John Galt’s speech. I’ve wrote a note on FB based on it since in this eco challenge, it’s just perfect!

2/Dynamic laws of prosperity, Catherine Ponder: the book changed me, it’s a real ‘bible’, mine is full of colors since I use it quite often. Actually I read it after my first seminar with you, thank you! and if your prosperity seminars were a book I’d put that instead because thanks to that first seminar I really did change my life.

3/The prosperity series by Randy Gage (books And audio): based on what I’ve just said, very powerful while very simple and you gotta love the straight talk he’s using : ) (+ the Why you’re dumb… great book too)

4/Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill: of course, cannot be not on the list, great book and once again more a tool than just a book.

5/Magic of thinking big by David Schwartz: very practical too, one of those book they should give at school to read.

6/As a Man Thinketh by James Allen: small but amazingly powerful!

7/Illusion by Richard Bach: fiction but non fiction ;-

8/Success Through Self Confidence by Beverly Nadler: one of the book I’ve most advised to my clients in therapy, great book, great tool to work on your confidence and program yourself for success.

9/Mercure by Amelie Nothomb, well that’s a French book, everyone here know Amelie Nothomb, it’s a novel and you can’t explain it until you’ve read her, it’s a very special style…

Gosh there are so many great books, The One Minute Millionaire, Hansen & Allen, Dale Carnegie, …

I’m gonna start Og Mandino, I’m sure it’d be on the list.

I love the idea of sharing books that have been life changing and I would also add business changing; I participated in Art Jonak’s list of books at the beginning of the year which I have a complete list of my top 20 books as of January 2009 posted to my blog here: http://TwitPWR.com/7Ek/

5. The Psychology of Winning by Denis Waitley: This is the first personal development book I ever read.

Books that changed my business:

1. Crossing the Chasm by Geoffrey A. Moore: This is marketing book writing at the dawn of the internet revolution. Perfect how to book.
