2. 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.
3. Hanser Mitte des Lebens
At some point in life, many things are decided: who we love, where we work, how we live. Some are happy to have arrived - others fear being stuck in a life full of routines and wonder if that's it. How do we find new goals in life when much has been achieved? How do we deal with the fact that time horizons are slowly narrowing and some trains have now left the station? Barbara Bleisch reflects on life experience, lightness and serenity in a philosophically sound way and full of references from everyday life. She counters the cliché of the "midlife crisis" with a philosophy of midlife that leads us into the existential questions of our decades as adults - and into the best time of our lives.
4. Hanser Power - Die 48 Gesetze der Macht
With over 200,000 copies sold, "Power - The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene dominated the bestseller lists for months. Now, the classic is available in a compact edition: concise, to the point, and entertaining. Those who want power should not linger too long on moral scruples. Anyone who believes they are not affected by the mechanisms of power could be its victim tomorrow. Those who claim that power can be attained through gentle means misunderstand reality. This book is the Machiavelli of the 21st century, but also a historical and literary treasure trove full of surprises.

7. 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.
8. Herder Die Kraft eines fokussierten Lebens
We live in an age of distraction. A thousand voices and opinions bombard us. How do we manage to live focused in a time like ours? Johannes Hartl shows why great power lies in small steps and how each of us can learn the art of a focused life. Hartl finds inspiration in both modern psychology and the ancient wisdom texts of the Bible. However, Hartl is not only concerned with discipline and techniques. He is convinced that our lives will only truly change in the long term with a life vision that genuinely sustains us. A vision is the overarching guiding principle, while focus provides the strength to realize it through small steps. This is a book that inspires a reorientation of life and a fundamental transformation. A focused life means living for what is truly important, aligned with the highest values. The person who lives this way has fire in their heart. Jesus says in his Sermon on the Mount: "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light." (Mt 6:22) In a loose translation, one could say: "What you look at shapes you. What your focus is directed towards will shape your entire life (even your body).".
9. Penguin Hardcover Nexus
Over the last 100,000 years, mankind has achieved enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions and conquests, we are now facing an existential crisis. The world is on the brink of ecological collapse. Misinformation is being spread on a massive scale. And we are plunging headlong into the age of artificial intelligence - a new information network that threatens to wipe us out. If we are so smart, why are we so self-destructive? Nexus shows how the flow of information has shaped us and our world. Yuval Noah Harari takes us from the Stone Age and biblical times through the early modern witch hunts, Stalinism and National Socialism to the resurgence of populism today. In doing so, he draws our attention to the complex relationship between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power. He explores how different societies and political systems have used information to achieve their goals - for better or for worse. And he looks at the pressing choices we face today as non-human intelligence threatens our existence. Information is not the raw material of truth, but neither is it simply a weapon. Nexus explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes and shows how our common humanity can be rediscovered.

For the first time, the complete and unabridged edition from 1937 is now available in German - possibly the most important financial book ever written.
