You must have read various articles on Internet about books belonging to
a specific category such as fiction, drama, sports, biographies, business &
management, self help etc. However, in this blog post I am taking a holistic
approach and listing books of different
genres all together.
Moreover, it is a collection of not only high-rated books but also some
good books which have not been rated to their potential.
One must read these books in their twenties in order to develop
shrewdness to face one’s upcoming life of thirties and forties with prudence, therefore,
sit tight for another fifteen minutes and get familiar with a very cool
collection of books from different genres.
Here we proceed with our first category -
Self Help (god helps those who help themselves)
1. Tuesdays with Morrie
This is the first book I have kept in this category because I
am certain that it is capable of making you fall in love with self-help books.
This book is about a student who meets his fatally sick teacher after nearly twenty years and
visits him every Tuesday to take life lessons.
You might fall into tears by the time you reach the last page of this
book.
2. Mega living - Robin Sharma
If you are interested in overcoming the negative thoughts and replace
them with positive ones then go for this book. You can read this book to connect with the
positive energy around you and learn to maintain a calm head.
Well, this book surely imparts great wisdom and hope; it is the best
teacher you can bring home to teach you how to improve your life.
3. Make yourself unforgettable
- Dale Carnegie
By simply reading this book till the last page, one will get to know how
a few petty things in human's disposition obstruct him/her to become a person of
‘Class’.
Well, the word 'class' is often taken for granted but it requires a lot of
effort to develop. Moreover to be a person of 'class', you do not have
to strive to develop qualities but quit a few negative habits of yours.
4. The Seven Habits of highly
effective people - Stephen R Covey
The book will help you deal with your professional and personal problems. The author has demonstrated a few short accounts neatly and cleverly which really
captivate your interest.
5. Who will cry when you die? -
Robin Sharma
The book contains lessons in 101 chapters to improve your life . I recommend
this book to the people who are going through a rough patch in their life or
the people who think that good always passes a great distance away from them.
By reading this book, one can know how to maintain a happy state of mind
by focusing on the minor details of life which one often ignores.

17. Zero to One - Peter Theil
The progress has come to a stand-still and globalization has
impersonated it. Peter Thiel has beautifully delivered this message through
this book.
If you have plans of starting an enterprise of your own now or many
years further then you should have one copy in your collection.
18. 6 hours MBA - Louis Coutts
Get this book and take a superficial look at the basic concepts of
management before diving deep into the world of entrepreneurship. Also, this
book is for every professional to spread awareness about management at his/her designation
level and certainly not restricted only business guys.

Sheet - Anil Lamba
Whether you are an engineer, a teacher, an entrepreneur or a shopkeeper,
learning basic finance not only helps the organization, you are working for, at

This book is not restricted to
accountants or commerce students, but it should be read by every professional.
The book teaches you about the basic concepts of balance sheet, Profit &
Loss and also few concepts which can help you in taking personal financial
decisions.
I highly recommend this book.

20. Target 3 Billion
India’s economy is largely dependent on agriculture and crops are
cultivated in farms situated in villages; based on this fact this book analyses
if the potential of the people living in villages is harnessed then India will
become the world’s largest economy much faster than expected.
The analysis and the motivation provided in the book is fabulous and is
surely going to captivate your attention towards the power of natural and human resources found in the rural areas.
With this we come to the end of this post. Hope you enjoyed it!!
