Upgrade Your Mindset By Reading Better Books.
“If a man is not doing any more than he is paid for, then obviously he has no right to ask for more pay.”
That quote from Napoleon Hill hit me pretty hard. We tend to think that we’re underpaid already, and so if we are faithfully completing our weekly tasks, we should be rewarded with promotions and raises. Not according to Hill. If you’ve been a career employee, this requires a significant shift in mindset.
For that reason and so many others, I’m reading 50+ books to improve mindset and personal development. And you’re invited to read along with me.
Each book will challenge your thought processes and lay out mindsets that successful people have.
Read at your own pace in your own way. Some times I listen to the book on my morning walks. Sometimes I read it on Kindle before bed. It all depends on the book and the phase of life I’m currently in.
We’ll wrestle with questions and ideas that make us uncomfortable. We’ll stretch ourselves to think like people who do great things.
Like Bill Murray in “What About Bob?”, we’ll baby step our way out of failure and underachieving into a productive and skilled mindset that empowers us to accomplish great things and build solid businesses.
My name is Daniel Dessinger. I live minutes away from the Florida beach with my wife and three children. I homeschool my kids, run an internet business with my wife, and follow daily self-care rituals to improve my health and capacity to do challenging things.
I help people overcome ask better questions so they can think better thoughts and overcome their history of underachieving.
Join me as I read 50 life-changing books that will broaden your possibilities and build confidence in your abilities.
The Plan
Every 2-3 weeks our community read a new book.
Life is busy. I’m doing this as a side project and I invite you to do the same.
As I read, I’ll publish thoughts, reactions, and arguments on each book and send a newsletter to your inbox to keep us all on the same page.
If you want to order the next few books on the list, you’ll find it here with links to Kindle and Audible.
