 |  Universal/timeless Book recommendations?
I’m not sure to where to start this thread… but I would like to get some recommendations on universal/timeless books regardless of the topic. I find reading universal books along with practical application is a great way to get a more precise/correct model of reality. Here is some of my recommendations: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Is your genius at work? A great book that helps you discover some of your unique abilities Negotiating Partnerships: Increase Profits and Reduce Risks This very good and has some of the same universal principles as The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. But it is a more in-depth practical analysis of negotiating. Marketing warfare (using universal principals of warfare to explain how marketing works) |

It helps when you mention the author. Some book titles are used by different people and some authors are better known than their books.

The Success Principles from Jack Canfield It completely changed my perspective on life when I read it 1 year ago. It was the very first personal development book I've ever touched and now, personal development has become one of my passions. René |
