“Once you have read a book you care about, some part of it is always with you.” – Robert Louis Stevenson
Reading is one of the best habits you should develop at an early age. We as humans need to learn and teach at the same time to make our society a better place. In our schools, colleges, universities, and workplaces, we learn a lot from academic books, teachers, and our colleagues undoubtedly.
However, there are many things we are unable to learn and interact with, in our schools and colleges. That’s why in this article, I will discuss ten books that help me in every walk of my life and why you must read them once. So here I go.
1. Think And Grow Rich By Napoleon Hill
This is one of the finest books I have ever read. Arguably, this is the most famous book of all time. In this book, the author makes us realize how ‘being rich is a state of mind.’ The author shows us how we must think to become money-conscious. The book teaches us how to think ourselves rich, how to control our minds and our thoughts so that we can become rich. The term ‘rich’ means anything like happiness, money, healthy relationships, etc.
2. The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind By Joseph Murphy

4. The Art of Public Speaking By Dale Carnegie
The book was published over a 100 years ago in 1915, but it’s a book worth reading. Who doesn’t want to be a good public speaker? But unfortunately, not all of us have the gift of the gab.
