The ULTIMATE 100 books library to Become Your Best Version.

Catch Golden Nuggets with free audiobooks, Youtube summaries, top articles.
Books find you when you most need it. Throughout the years many books help me move toward my next level or even pivot to a more significant path. I will always give high recognition to the books that lead me to dozens of other books of self-discovery on a new mindset. The 4 hours work week, The Power of Now, The One Thing, Think and Grow Rich.
The best resources for nonfiction book addicts are:
- Youtube book animated summaries: One Percent Better, Fight Mediocrity and Productivity Game
- Blinkist, which give you book summaries in 15–20 Blinks you can read while listening to the audio version in 12–15 minutes per books.
- MentorBox, 7$/month give you access to a library of the best self-development books summary with cheatsheet and interview of the authors
- Castbox podcast app audiobooks channels: Success Audiobooks or Audiobooks
- Audible, audiobooks allow you to pass over books quicker while using 1.5x or 2x speed. You’ll still need to analyze the concepts via the other resources above.
- Goodreads is the biggest online community of book readers giving you all kind of reading list, advice, and way more book reviews then on amazon
I use to be addicted to books. Read or listen to all of the most famous self-development ones to realize over time that it was a form of escape and a distraction. Also after a while, you realize that it’s all the same content being repeated or reframed. The best advice I ever had was to choose deeply one skill you want to improve and focus on it for 4 months while gathering only 2 or 3 to books, one podcast, articles and videos on the subjects while practicing with daily repetition on a daily basis with the Kaizen principle.
Every 90 days rate, on 1 to 10 without using the number 7, your 7 wellness life dimensions to not have one bad affecting the same way others. When you are not balanced on those 7 wellness life dimensions no matter how hard you work, you’ll always end up stuck into a crazy 8 loop over and over again.

Here’s my best advice for the next generation, go and build your own community on a topic you bound with other people. Create a free Facebook event or a monthly Meetup and don’t give up. In the beginning, one or two-person will show up. Slowly you’ll learn how to improve it and you’ll learn about your communities’ needs on top of building many skills. And who knows maybe one day it can become a non-profit or business or just a place where you feel deeply at home meeting your best friends, your second family. Building your community is the best way to satisfy all your life dimensions while constantly growing to the next best version of yourself. But stop searching in the outside world to satisfy your cravings. Start the journey of exploration within eliminating all cravings and aversions toward total peace. Fixing the spiritual dimension will greatly improve all the others. You are the master of your life.
