No matter what your goals are, Atomic Habits provides a proven framework for improvement - every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation,reveals practical strategies that show you exactly how to form good habits, break bad habits and master the small behaviours that lead to remarkable results. If you're struggling to change your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system.

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviours that can be easily applied to daily life and work.

Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, giving you the tools and strategies you need to change your habits - whether you're a team looking to win a championship, a company looking to redefine an industry, or simply an individual looking to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.
2. Can't Hurt Me
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice and physical abuse haunted his dreams. But through self-discipline, mental toughness and hard work,he transformed himself from a depressed, overweight youth with no prospects into a U.S. Army icon and one of the top endurance athletes in the world. He is the only person to ever pass elite training to become a Navy SEAL as well as a U.S. Army Ranger and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, and he has also set numerous endurance records.
In "Can't Hurt Me" he tells his truly amazing life story and shows that most of us don't even realise half of our potential. Goggins calls this the 40 per cent rule. His outstanding example, on the other hand, illustrates how anyone can succeed in changing that and overcoming pain thresholds and fears.

6. The Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness
Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behaviour is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money-investing,personal finance, and business decisions-is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, Marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

8. Die Gesetze der menschlichen Natur - The Laws of Human Nature
Robert Greene is a master at making the wisdom and philosophy of ancient thinkers accessible to millions of readers in search of knowledge, power, and self-improvement.In his new book, he is on the trail of the most important subject of all: the decoding of human drives and motivations, even those of which we ourselves are unaware. Man is a social animal. His life depends on the relationship with his peers. Knowing why we do what we do gives us a far more effective tool than all our talents could. Drawing on the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene shows how we can, on the one hand, become independent of our own emotions and learn self-mastery, and on the other hand, develop empathy toward others to see behind their masks. If nothing else, The Laws of Human Nature offers the reader unique strategies for achieving and defending one's own goals in the professional and private spheres.

9. Illness as a symbol
For over 25 years, the long and bestseller in holistic medicine: Now in a completely revised and expanded new edition.
Ruediger Dahlke understands illness as ameaningful event, as a way for the soul to bring unresolved mental conflicts to consciousness. To do this, it is necessary to understand the symbolic meanings of disease symptoms, that is: to decode their messages.This new edition of the standard work Disease as Symbol begins with a presentation of the philosophy and theory of Integral Medicine. The manual, which has now been completely revised for the fourth time and has grown considerably, lists hundreds of clinical pictures with thousands of symptoms - in the meantime claiming to be largely complete. It offers help for self-help and enables users to take responsibility for the learning tasks that the disease pictures point to. With its processing and redemption instructions and tips ranging from guided meditations to films, it becomes a kind of self-directed psychotherapy.
10. The Creative ACT: A Way of Being
From the legendary music producer, a savant at helping people connect with the wellsprings of their creativity, comes a beautifully crafted book, many years in themaking, that offers that same deep wisdom to all of us. I set out to write a book about what to do to make a great work of art. Instead, it revealed itself to be a book on how to be.'-Rick Rubin Many famed music producers, however brilliant, become known for a particular sound which has its day and then ages out. Rick Rubin, on the other hand, is most famous for something else: for creating a strong safe space where artists of wildly different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. To surprise themselves, and thus the world. Rubin's true art is for helping people get out of their own way and commune with the powerful creative signal that is their birthright. Over the years, Rubin has thought deeply about where creativity comes from and where it doesn't, about what it takes to strike a deep nerve within ourselves. Perhaps above all, he has learned that being an artist isn't about your specific output, it's a relationship to the world. Creativity has a space in everyone's life, and everyone has the opportunity to make that space stronger. Indeed, it may be our most important responsibility. More than five years in the making, The Creative Act is a series of meditations that illuminate the path of the artist as a road we all can follow. It is a beautifully generous offering of the wisdom gleaned from a lifetime's work spent in the service of exhilaration and transcendence, distilled into a timeless classic that puts those feelings within closer reach for all of us'--.
