Thanks Christiana for making me pull my favorite list together.

Garbage in. Garbage out. You have probably heard that several times, but have you ever asked why? Now more then ever have I realized that you are a small product of your genes but a HUGE product of your thots. To have great thots you need to have the proper stimulation. Proper stimulation involves taking note of EVERY experience you have and making sure it puts the proper impression in your head. A while ago I shared my discipline of a Google Reader over the morning newspaper. This is just another tool that keeps great content flowing through my brain. Below is my reading list. It is not exhaustive, but merely my favorite right now and the ones that have had the most impact on my life. I have ready many books that were considered great but at that time they were irrelevant because I wasn’t faced with that challenge. So this list is relevant to me now.

• 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Steven Covey
• The Art of the Start, Guy Kawasaki
• Think and Grow Rich, Napolean Hill
• The Subluxation Specific, The Adjustment Specific, B.J. Palmer
• Awaken the Giant Within, Anthony Robbins
• Getting Things Done, David Allen
• The Game of Work, Charles Coonradt
• The Greatest Salesman in the World, Og Mandino
• The Richest Man in Babylon, George, Clason

The book that by far has had the most impact on my life was Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. This book really set the tone for my life when I was about 18.
