Books aren’t just about relaxing, entertainment, or passing the time - they’re about inspiration, changing minds and improving lives. This week we’ve pulled together 10 ideas worth thinking about - powerful passages from some of the most influential self-help books ever written.
“It’s that you are disliked by someone. It is proof that you are exercising your freedom and living in freedom, and a sign that you are living in accordance with your own principles.”
“The secret to being interesting is to be interested. And the secret to having a friend is being a friend.... Be brave. Like somebody.”
“Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.”
“Life is essentially an endless series of problems. The solution to one problem is merely the creation of another.”
“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
“What we choose to focus on and what we choose to ignore—plays in defining the quality of our life.”
“The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own. Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.”
“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
“What separates high performers from everyone else is not hustle, it’s not luck, it’s simply habits.”
“You have no idea how much easier things could be if you stopped being so hard on yourself.”
