A reading list for better inner peace, productivity and success in 2021.
A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors. – Charles Baudelaire
Below is the list of 5 books that will help you to live a Calm, Productive and Successful life.
1. The Compound Effect:
The Compound Effect, a book that gives you practical every day steps to create real change in your life. Darren wrote this book as a guide on how to take ownership of your own life through the small decisions you make on a daily basis.
The compound effect is the strategy of reaping huge rewards from small, seemingly insignificant actions. You cannot improve something until you measure it. Always take 100 percent responsibility for everything that happens to you.
It’s about how small actions, executed consistently, can lead to hugely successful results, both in business and in life. The book was written by Darren Hardy, a guy who knows more than a thing or two about the topic of success, seeing as though he’s spent the vast majority of his career at the helm of SUCCESS Magazine.

2. Raise Your Game
Raise Your Game will inspire and empower you to commit to the fundamentals, create a winning mindset, and progress into new levels of success.
High achievers are at the top of their game because of the discipline they have during the unseen hours. They have made a commitment to establish, tweak, and repeat positive habits in everything they do. Raise Your Game examines the top leaders in sports and business and proves that success is a result of the little things we do all the time.
The basic principles provided in Raise Your Game are simple, but not easy. We live in an instantly downloadable world that encourages us to skip steps. We are taught to chase what’s hot, flashy and sexy and ignore what’s basic. But the basics work. They always have and they always will.

3. Reframe The Day.
Requests and to-do’s bombard your phone and inbox, day and night. Information and distractions claw at your time and attention. You’re always busy, always searching for the finish line … or at least the pause button. Life feels like an endless series of “what’s nexts” — what’s the next meeting, task, obligation, goal, achievement?
In ‘Reframe the Day’, Lowenstein offers ten tips, tactics, and techniques for nudging your days in a more fulfilling direction. Combining concrete advice with tools for self-reflection, ‘Reframe the Day’ shows you how to reframe the way you see and spend your days and, over time, reshape your life.

4. Indistractable
Living the good life requires not only doing the right things but also not doing the things we know we’ll regret. Being indistractable, according to Eyal, is about understanding the real reasons why we do things against our best interests.

5. Essentialism
Have you ever found yourself struggling with information overload?
Have you ever felt both overworked and under-utilised?
Do you ever feel busy but not productive?
If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is to become an Essentialist.
Essentialism is a disciplined, systematic approach for determining where our highest point of contribution lies, then making execution of those things almost effortless.
In Essentialism, Greg McKeown, CEO of a Leadership and Strategy agency in Silicon Valley who has run courses at Apple, Google and Facebook, shows you how to achieve what he calls the disciplined pursuit of less. Being an Essentialist is about a disciplined way of thinking. It means challenging the core assumption of ‘We can have it all’ and ‘I have to do everything’ and replacing it with the pursuit of ‘the right thing, in the right way, at the right time’.
