Top 7 Best Books Every Man Should Read!! (#6 is Life-Changing)


Top 7 Best Books Every Man Should Read!!

What you are about to read today is the top best books every man should read and some of them you probably never even heard of… other’s you might know.

In case you guys didn’t know, I am an avid reader, but I tend to read slowly more than the average person.

With that said, understand that the books you are about to find out about will definitely change your life for the better.

Some of these books range from money mindset, to masculinity, and persuasion, on top of spirituality.

Some are timeless literary works, like a classic novel, that continue to impact readers and society despite being written centuries ago. Others reflect and critique the complexities and absurdities of contemporary life, capturing the nuances of modern existence.

With that out of the way let’s get started. If you have any suggestions on any books you think I should check out, then let me know in the comments.

Books on Money Mindset

Starting out, I am going to touch upon a topic I rarely cover on my blog, but the more I've confronted with limiting beliefs, the more I faced them.

Conquering my fears, I decided to face my problems head on, and go in to the roadblocks holding me back. Address them head on.

These following books taught me a shit ton about how much people have a FIXED MINDSET on money:

These two books will change your outlook on becoming financially free. 

You can and you will have huge a-ha moments reading them.

Money Grows on Trees by Jerremy Newsome

In case you guys didn't know, I grew up in a middle class family. They always taught me 'Money doesn't grow on Trees.'

Little do all of you know that these words will mess with your head.

My parents also told me, 'Save money for a rainy day.' Then I met Jerremy Newsome.

This is the back story of how I found out about this book. I bought it, and I read it twice to fully digest everything. 

All of you would be wise to address your beliefs about finances. Because if you have bad mindset with money, that reflects and it mirror other areas of your life.

Grab a copy of Jerremy's book here. You'll realize that if you believe you aren't worth $100K, for example...

Your thoughts become your words and your words become your reality. 

If you don't read books, I suggest you start today. And start with addressing limiting beliefs with money.

Modern men nowadays live their lives in quiet desperation, and instead of listening to pop culture, they can grab a book and read in their free time.

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T Harv. Eker

This book in my mind is the epitomy of inner game for wealth. 

If you want to master having the mindset of a man that will make BANK...

An essential read for every man to check out. And it's 110% worth it. 

T. Harv Eker includes self-declarations which will work that is if you say them with CONVICTION. 

Place your hand on your heart, look at yourself in the mirror and say this...

"My goal is to become a millionaire and more."

Then put your index and middle finger on your temple area and say...

"I have a millionaire mind."

You can actually get nine more self-declarations when you buy the book.

Wealth principle that I remembered even from reading Jerremy Newsomes book that you all must remember...

"Never have a ceiling on your income." -T. Harv Eker

Books on Masculinity and Man's Search for Meaning

This is what I started my blog on. If you want to SKYROCKET masculinity, I encourage you to read the books I’m about to list.

Related Podcast: Skyrocket Masculinity Effortlessly: 3 Bullet Proof Strategies

These are hands down the best books on masculinity and you will 110% get a lot of value from each one:

These books often embodies traits of resilience and strength, serving as pivotal figures in the narrative. You need to read both of these books if you want to emulate the vibe of a natural, masculine Alpha Male.

Certain books also explore a dystopian future, critiquing societal structures and highlighting the importance of individual freedoms.

And I genuinely mean that. So let’s start with the first book…

177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class by Steve Siebold

"The World Class raises their vibration at will." 177 Mental Toughness Secrets

Those of you who know my tangents on having a healthy ego, you will find out quickly that unhealthy ego is addressed in this book. 

You will know how most people think that keeps them in the middle class mindset. 

Some of the most valuable quotes I've learned from this book I'll list:

  • "The great managers and leaders of the future will know more about their people than ever before. They’ll know their emotional hot buttons as well as the essence of what makes them tick.” -Steve Siebold
  • "You cannot keep a committed person from success. Place stumbling blocks in his way, and he takes them for stepping-stones, and on them he will climb to greatness. Take away his money, and he makes spurs of his poverty to urge him on. The person who succeeds has a program; he fixes his course and adheres to it; he lays his plans and executes them; he goes straight to his goal."  -George Gilder

You can see how this improves masculinity. Create, persist, destroy. Most people give up on success. Steve Siebold gives the readers how athletes train and you learn quickly this applies directly in to become mentally tough.

Click here to get this phenomenal book. You will improve your mindset to higher levels of masculinity once you read each section.

This book largely inspired one of the ways to develop a masculine mindset in my hardcover book and that is Rapid State Training for a Masculine Mindset.

Way of the Superior Man by David Deida

This book needs no introduction. I've referenced this even in my seduction book as an essential reading. 

Your masculine purpose must come first. And as we all know if you've heard any of my podcasts on the dark sides of masculinity...
 
She wants the killer inside you. Remember that girls will test your dark side, it's subtle, but they will.

She knows where you will falter and give up. David Deida, knows dating more than any other author out there, above Mystery and Niel Strauss as he even gives sex advice in his book.

For example, he states very clearly, "If she ever tells you to climax, and you give in, she loses all trust.

That means, in laymen terms, don't be easily seduced.

My all time favorite book on masculinity. You need to read this one so click here.


Personal Development & Persuasion Books on Human Nature

All of these books listed are going to DRASTICALLY improve self-image and influence. And I’m including the spiritual book in here because when you develop yourself as a man and practice the power of now, you improve personal development.

Beautifully written books can enhance personal development by providing rich, immersive reading experiences that emphasize emotional depth and insightful content. Short stories, in particular, showcase narrative creativity and thematic depth, making them powerful tools for personal growth.

More importantly, these next three books are essential reading, that is if you take action on the material. Stay tuned for the book that (in my opinion) can improve your frame and change your life:

Classic literature, such as any significant book written by notable authors, reflects deeper themes like personal ethics and societal frustrations, showcasing their importance in literature and personal development.

Many classic novels are inspired by true stories, adding depth and intrigue to the narratives, which encourages readers to explore the books further.

This book I’m about to cover changed my perception on what the EGO really is. Classic novels have a significant impact on personal growth by exploring profound themes and historical contexts.

One of my favorite quotes, “There is no such thing as a superiority complex.” As I stated in my vulnerability article, drop that superiority complex. Have an ethical ego instead.

Pyscho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz

Visualize your goals in your subconscious mind, see it as already achieved.

In this book, you learn how to set realistic achievable goals. And you also learn about how to improve your self-image.

Full transparency, I had the big idea to write about positive narcissistic self-image after reading this book.

Because so many people frown upon narcissism, but it's all good to think highly of oneself that it becomes hilariously cocky. Those of you listeners of my show know what I'm talking about.

However, this book, is the Godfather of all personal development books, and there's no way I can do this justice with one full section, grab your copy here.

You'll know what I mean when you read this amazing book. I can't praise this book enough, it really challenges you to look within and set goals immediately.

One section that REALLY opened up my eyes brothers...

"How a False Belief aged a man 20 years." Mr. Russell who went through a shitty relationship on a girl who gave him shit, if he didn't change his lower lip and also required him to spend his money on her. 

But then shortly later, he found himself with a new bride (childhood friend), and essentially this set him free. His life changed, he saw a major difference in Russell from where he was with the unhealthy girl, to becoming a happier, younger looking man.

That is only one of the amazing stories from that book. Grab it brothers, such a phenomenal book and a timeless classic.

Influence by Robert Cialdini

Again, another phenomenal read that in my mind is the most POWERFUL book I've ever read in my life.

Referenced this in Become The Alpha Women Want. I give very powerful ways to develop authority in your body language. 

Where did I learn the power of Authority? This book right here brothers!!!

Not only does this cover authority, this also covers REAL STORIES as to why girls hate it when you buy them drinks in social settings. 

Cialdini calls them "Exploiters of the reciprocity rule." And for good reason.

You are abusing reciprocity tendency. And he gives studies that PROVE what influences human behavior.

All of my dating ebooks leverage human influence. You'd be wise to get this book. It's life-changing once you see the power of the following:

  • Liking tendency
  • Authority
  • Scarcity

Click here to get this life-changing book. This book is the BIGGEST influence (notice what I did there) on my very first dating eBook. 

All of which creates desire to get girls attracted, but more importantly, if you use this properly, you can get what you want.

There is a damn good reason I said #6 is life changing. This is the one to check out if you want one book that teaches the powers of persuasion.

Here's the very last book, more appeals to spirituality but it will improve personal development as well...

Practicing The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

The very first person who recommended me this book is my dad. I didn't know what to think of it as I was very young. 

So, I picked this book up much later in my life, and I came across the part where Eckhart Tolle says...

"You stop judging yourself and your partner."

And it hit me. I found myself in codependent relationships. This REALLY heightened my awareness on how manipulative girls (but also guys) can do.

That is the pain body. All of you know how much I love talking about darker topics on my podcast, but I have to tell you all something...

When you apply the teachings in this book, you have healthier relationships.

And more importantly, it teaches you how, "you are not your thoughts." 

Even though I will continue to blog about the darker sides of human nature...

I believe practicing the power of now will keep you away from letting the ego control you. 

This book is hands down extremely important in social dynamics. The more you live in the present, the more you lose all sense of time.

The girls you sleep with, or the woman you choose to spend your life with will see you are present, and that shows your powerful presence.

Honorable Mention's That Didn't Make the List

Classic Novels

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Great Gatsby is a classic novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, originally published in 1925. This beautifully written masterpiece delves into the heart of the American Dream, exploring the intricate layers of wealth, class, and the corrupting influence of materialism.

The story focuses on the enigmatic millionaire Jay Gatsby and his relentless pursuit to rekindle a lost romance with Daisy Buchanan. Through Gatsby’s tragic journey, Fitzgerald offers a poignant critique of the Roaring Twenties, exposing the hollow, superficial lives of the wealthy elite. 

The Great Gatsby is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its thought-provoking commentary on human nature and the American experience. If you haven’t read this classic novel yet, it’s time to dive into the world of Gatsby and discover why it remains a cornerstone of American literature.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas

The Count of Monte Cristo, written by Alexander Dumas and first published in 1844, is an epic adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The story follows Edmond Dantès, a young sailor who is falsely accused of treason and imprisoned in the grim Château d’If.

After a daring escape, Dantès discovers a hidden treasure and reinvents himself as the mysterious and wealthy Count of Monte Cristo. Armed with his newfound wealth and identity, he embarks on a quest for revenge against those who betrayed him.

This classic novel is a thrilling tale of betrayal, redemption, and justice, filled with complex characters and unexpected plot twists. The Count of Monte Cristo is a masterpiece of storytelling that explores deep themes of morality, loyalty, and the human condition. If you’re looking for a gripping read that combines adventure with profound insights, this is the book for you.

Dystopian Futures

1984 by George Orwell

1984, written by George Orwell and published in 1949, is a chilling vision of a dystopian future that remains eerily relevant to contemporary life. The story focuses on Winston Smith, a low-ranking member of the Party in a totalitarian regime that exercises absolute control over every aspect of life. In this oppressive world, the government uses propaganda, surveillance, and censorship to manipulate and control its citizens.

As Winston begins to question the Party’s ideology, he embarks on a dangerous journey of rebellion. 1984 is a powerful warning about the dangers of unchecked government power, the erosion of individual freedoms, and the manipulation of truth. Its themes of censorship, surveillance, and the loss of personal autonomy resonate strongly in today’s world, making it a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of society. If you haven’t yet experienced the haunting world of 1984, now is the time to read this timeless classic and reflect on its profound implications.

The Bottom Line: Top 7 Best Books Every Man Should Read!

Every single one of these books will teach you about women & relationships, spirituality, personal development, persuasion, masculinity, and money mindset. Comic books, with their rich cultural significance and storytelling, also offer valuable insights into identity and societal struggles.

I’m sure you’ve come across other books on my website that I didn’t include, however, they deserve their own review for their own reasons. These books are essential that every man must read and I encourage you all to start out with Way of the Superior Man if you want to improve in relationships.

But if you have good relationships, definitely check out Money Grows on Trees, great man and he will give you the right mindset to eliminate limiting beliefs.

Books teach us lessons, we learn from the authors, but more importantly, we gain some wisdom to take with us for the rest of our lives. Historical novels, exploring significant events and themes, provide depth and emotional resonance, immersing readers in pivotal moments of history.

Emerson's philosophy in 'Self-Reliance' emphasizes the importance of following one's own instincts, promoting individualism and self-trust.

This is why I wrote my own books. Because I want my readers to know my story. But more importantly, if you do not read, I suggest you start reading TODAY. The Great Gatsby, a timeless classic in American literature, offers an interesting story with intricate commentary on society, human vices, and the phenomenon of reliving the past.

1984, written by George Orwell and published in 1949, is a chilling vision of a dystopian future that remains eerily relevant to modern life.

This is a part of my morning routine brothers. I simply do NLP Modeling, then start reading as soon as I wake up, but obviously, I set a timer so I don’t spend the whole day inside.

Feel comfortable to reach out to me through social media and comment below if you have any book suggestions.
