Richest Man In Babylon by George Clason
I feel like shouting right now! This book? it taught me a lot about money. It will also give you a huge insight on how Babylon stood tall as the richest kingdom of all times simply because, almost everybody in that nation then understood the principles of money. And guess what? all the nuggets in this book applies to our present day. Y’all should definitely read this book.
Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T Kiyaoski
Looking at this picture and what is written on it, you already know this book is the bomb! Yeah! This book changed the way i see money. Phew! I wish i read this book earlier but it’s always better late than never right?
Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend
If you are struggling with sticking and creating boundaries, grab this book. It opened my eyes to the importance of knowing and actually creating boundaries. Learn how and when to say YES or NO confidently in certain situations in this book. Great read i must say!
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
You are socially awkward or don’t know how to make and keep friends? Come here love! With practical real life examples and experiences, Dale breaks down the art of influencing people positively. If you are an entrepreneur and don’t know how to approach your clients or find out what they want so you can serve them better, this is the book for you. I am a content creator and trust me, this book has helped me a lot. This is the read for everyone.
Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers
(wipes tears) Oh! how much i love Francine Rivers. She is such a good writer. I shedded a few tears reading this book. This book will teach you a lot about love.
A lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers
Another lovely book by Francine Rivers. At this point, i think it is safe to say I’ve read a lot if not all books by this amazing woman and i’m recommending this to you. I can’t lie, i have this feeling the stories are actually real and oh my! you’ll definitely stop judging people because you don’t know where they are coming from or what they’ve been through.
Americana by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Ha! You already know this legend by now. She is a great story teller. This book is suspense filled and so relatable…very relatable.
The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman
This book greatly enhanced my relationships with people. In clear words, Gary explains the different five love languages and how discovering that of the the other person (can be spouse, parents, siblings and so on) can help sustain and prolong the relationship. Guys i can’t type much because this book is lovely. If you haven’t read it, then you need to.
I didn’t read quite a lot of books last year as usual because 2018 was a very busy one for me but hopefully, i pray i get to read more this year. I also read some books in PDF formats which were also amazing. Here are some of them
