Book Summaries

1. The obstacle is the way by Ryan Holiday
We are stuck, stymied, frustrated. But it needn’t be this way. There is a formula for success that’s been followed by the icons of history—from John D. Rockefeller to Amelia Earhart to Ulysses S. Grant to Steve Jobs—a formula that let them turn obstacles into opportunities. Faced with impossible situations, they found the astounding triumphs we all seek.

These men and women were not exceptionally brilliant, lucky, or gifted. Their success came from timeless philosophical principles laid down by a Roman emperor who struggled to articulate a method for excellence in any and all situations.

2. SOCIAL SKILLS - HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE BY DALE CARNEGIE

How to Win Friends and Influence People was one of the first books I read that really increased my social intelligence. It has always stayed as one of my most favorite books and I definitely recommend reading it.

​

3. HOW TO BE A MAN - THE WAY OF THE SUPERIOR MAN BY DAVID DEIDA
When it comes to Masculinity, David Deida has to be the most knowledgeable on the topic. This is absolutely my favorite book, and if I could only give one book to another man, it would be this. This first part covered some of my favorite ideas on what it means to be a man. There will be a second part that will go into detail about how the masculine should interact with the feminine. Enjoy!

4. THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE BY STEPHEN COVEY

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is one of the most influential books in self-development. It has always been one of my favorites and I definitely recommend reading it.
