4. Riva 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. Finanzbuch Über die Psychologie des Geldes

Money has much more to do with psychology than with finances. When it comes to money, we believe we need to know certain facts, rules, and laws. We assume that the world of finance is the world of mathematics, where data and formulas tell us exactly how to behave, and people would then follow that guidance. In reality, the opposite is true: in the real world, people do not make their financial decisions based on a spreadsheet. They make them over dinner or during a meeting, where personal history, individual perspectives, ego, and other crude influences come into play. So, it is primarily about psychology, emotions, and gray areas.

Through 20 short stories, award-winning author Morgan Housel vividly illustrates that when it comes to money matters, what matters is not how much theoretical knowledge someone has, but how they behave in a stressful situation.

"One of the best and most original finance books in years."
Jason Zweig, The Wall Street Journal

"Morgan Housel is one of the brightest new stars in the finance world. He is accessible to anyone who wants to learn more about the psychology of money. I highly recommend this book."
James P. O'Shaughnessy, author of The Best Investment Strategies of All Time.

9. MVG Menschen lesen

Such a book on body language has never existed before: written by an FBI agent whose job for 25 years was to uncover spies, murderers, and criminals through their body language. Only 20 percent of our communication occurs through spoken words. This means we communicate 80 percent nonverbally and unconsciously. The internationally recognized expert Joe Navarro precisely explains how to see through others, how to accurately decode feelings and behaviors, avoid pitfalls, and confidently reveal body language and facial expressions that are meant to mislead. From head to toe, gestures, posture, and facial expressions are examined and analyzed according to the latest research.

10. Droemer Knaur Alles Idioten!?

Successfully communicate in all areas of life - the international self-coaching bestseller from Sweden is now finally available in German. Author Thomas Erikson asks: How often are we misunderstood or misinterpreted? How often are our relationships with others marred by misunderstandings? How often do we feel surrounded only by idiots? In short: What is wrong with our communication behavior?

"This doesn't have to be the case," says self-coaching expert Thomas Erikson. "While people are not Excel spreadsheets, and their behavior cannot be precisely predicted, understanding the fundamentals of human communication can help us avoid many misunderstandings."

Under the motto "four colors - four types - and plenty of tools," Thomas Erikson presents a model with four personality types in his self-coaching book, making it easier for us to understand our counterpart and their communication behavior - whether it’s body language, emails, or conversations. First, the four personality types are introduced, followed by a description of the communication behavior of each type, along with an explanation of the conflicts that may arise in interactions with others and how to avoid them.

Wrapped in humor, Thomas Erikson's vivid examples from work, leisure, and family help us identify which personality type we are dealing with: This way, we can purposefully train our communication behavior and successfully navigate everyday communication pitfalls.

Thomas Erikson's self-coaching guides are all based on the successful concept of four personality types; they are all international bestsellers and have been translated into more than 25 languages. "Anyone who doesn't read this book is truly an idiot." - KvalitetsMagasinet.
