Improvement pill here I often get emails
and comments from people asking about
the books I recommend to read and it's
one thing to give you guys a reading
list but I think it's equally important
to give you guys an idea of what sorts
of books you should read so that you can
explore different topics on your own
which is why in today's episode we're
gonna talk about what I consider to be
the four most important types of books
that you should check out so let's jump
right into it the first type of book you
should read our health related book
specifically books on diet
see there are so many areas in our lives
that we can improve on but I think it's
safe to say that one of the best places
if not the best place to start is with
your diet and your overall health this
is because if your health is subpar
you'll often find yourself with low
levels of energy and it's gonna be
extremely hard for you to make changes
in your life when you can barely stay
awake for more than half the day books
about diet educate you on what certain
foods do to your body and as you start
to understand the science behind things
like insulin leptin carbohydrates and
fats you'll find yourself consuming more
of the right foods and less of the bad
ones and if you're able to make these
changes you should see a drastic effect
on your levels of energy and mood
throughout the day which will trickle
down to success in other areas of your
life a good example of a book like this
is the case against sugar by Gary Taubes
which will reveal to you just how bad
sugar is you should also look into books
on sleep and fitness as they also play a
pretty important role the second type of
book you should read are ones about
money now people don't like to talk
about money but money is something that
each and every single one of us needs in
order to survive in this modern day and
age without it you will find yourself
struggling on a day-to-day basis
stressed out of your mind
and certainly unhappy I personally like
to think of money as a game imagine if
you were playing Monopoly and you didn't
know the rules you didn't know what to
spend your money on you didn't know how
to use your pieces chances are you'd
find yourself bankrupt and out of the
game in just a couple of rounds that's
the approach most people take when it
comes to money nowadays we're all
playing the game of money but the large
majority of us haven't even read the
rule book it's no wonder why most people
struggle to get by when you read books
about money how to generate more money
how to invest passive income real estate
and things like this you will start to
understand the rules of the game
this will make it significantly easier
to get ahead because you're playing
against people who don't even know what
they're doing some good
examples of books on money are
unshakable by Tony Robbins and Rich Dad
Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki the third
type of book you should look into our
books on psychology specifically books
on how our own mind and brain works see
the thing is biological evolution how
our brains have evolved over the course
of millions of years happens at a much
slower rate than the speed technology
and society have been growing yet in
modern times
and because of this tons of mental
health related issues are popping up
left and right
things like addiction ADHD anxiety
depression and the like are issues that
more and more people are facing because
of all of these changes in order to make
sure that we live a good life mentally
we need to learn about how our brain
works if we do not society and
technology will make it into its slave
books like the power of habit and
smarter faster better both by Charles
Duhigg will teach you how to optimize
your brain so avoid addiction and become
more productive while books like the
performance cortex by zachsk Ron Braun
will give you insight on the connection
between our brains and our body the more
you understand your brain the more
control you will have over it the fourth
and final genre that I think you should
check out art biographies specifically
autobiographies and memoirs you know how
they say that you are the five people
you surround yourself with well the
reason this is actually true is because
we often subconsciously copy the habits
and the values of the people around us
when you start reading biographies it's
kind of like having a really successful
friend tell you their life story and by
just the factor of Association just by
listening to this story you will start
to pick up on the successful habits that
made them who they are
because behind every successful person
there's a system of effective and
powerful habits on top of that you'll
learn about their values what drove them
to work so hard and accomplished so much
these are often values that you've never
heard of because the people that you're
surrounded with none of them have them
once you hear about these values you're
gonna find yourself liking a couple of
these and adopting them as your own it's
also important to note that you'll learn
about these authors mistakes these are
often huge mistakes that set them back
for years at a time but they will tell
you all about these mistakes and what
you can do to avoid them so you don't
have to personally suffer through them
like they did good examples of books
like this are shoo dog by the founder of
Nike and pour your heart into it by the
founder of
Starbucks these are what I consider to
be the four best genre so you should
look into on your own in order to
further your development of course there
are other good genres out there but I
think these four will have the biggest
impact on your life in regards to
self-improvement this episode was
brought to you if the help of the guys

of books you should read you need to
