1. New Testament books (NIV Version)- but this is tricky, you need to really be in a right mindset for this, otherwise pass it.
2. Good to Great (leadership)
3. Generation to Generation: Family Process in Church and Synagogue (New York: Guilford Press, 1985) ISBN 978-1-60918-236-6 (self identity)
4. Plato's republic (abstract rational thinking)
5. 33 strategies of War (to understand how to compete)
6. 48 laws of power (to see how shitty people are)
7. How to be a fierce competitor (practical points on competition)
8. How to be a rainmaker (practical points on business)
9. Read as much as you can on world history form all regions- you'd be surprised how little people know about world history and knowing it puts the world in a very clear paradigm
10. Read biographies, guys or girls you respect, get an understanding of a person's thought process at the highest level of their field.
