Books that help you implement ideas into your life

[Ika]

Hey!
I am searching for books that talk about the topic of implementing the given ideas and thoughts intó my life. So apart from "This is the right thing" I can see "how to do the right thing every day" and "tips on how to do the thing every day".

As an example: How to win friends and influence people
It has great ideas, but before picking up the book I somehow knew that beeing nice to people will make them like me more. What I missed were tips on how to be nice when your opposite is an a**hole, or how to not critizise your opponent when he did something bad. Some chapters scratched on that, but I felt it is not enough..

Since I am trying to better myself in most aspects of my life, I am searching for books about relationships (friends,love,family), mindsets (positive thinking, problems = opportunities, failure, habits etc), mental health (sleep and meditation) and business.

Do books like this exist?
Or am I searching for a comprehensive guide that is not possible?

Would love to hear your recommendations

Depends on what parts of your life you want to improve.

I totally forgot that, sorry.

Thanks for the answer!

"Or am I searching for a comprehensive guide that is not possible?"

You're asking a shitty question. Don't do that again.

Pick up one book and read it. Concentrate your forces. But don't start with that book yet. We also won't do your research for you. We do not make your choices.

Relationships:
Start with calling and messaging your best friends on daily basis and make them really interested in having conversations with you. This will improve your relationships, your approach to communication, your phrasing and the outcome. I don't know your situation with women/significant other in particular so I won't suggest anything about it.

Mindsets:
1. What do you want to achieve in 2016?
Stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself this everyday. Day after day.
2. Get yourself a notepad and write down best things you thought. Write them down immediately. Everyday.
This will change you progressively.

Meditation:
- Throw away your phone, disconnect from the internet and spend 15 minutes just sitting and doing nothing. Not kicking things back and forth, but actually doing nothing. Best meditation ever, increases productivity by 10000%+. This will change your life.

Business:
Pick a field and do one small thing towards it everyday. A year later you'll be further than any wannabe entrepreneur who stretches himself to do this and that but nothing consistently.

You don't need books to achieve that, but you can start with "Switch" by Dan & Chip Heath.

Pick one thing and do it until it becomes a habit.

Make sure your why is strong and real, not something you'd like to be real. Then just start.

Even your thread title gives the answer away IMO. Don't read books to learn how to take action. Take action.

Hope that helps.

Where'd you pull this graph from? I can't find it on the EoF site. I'm curious as to what the X axis is.

Thank you all for answering!
I see that I explained my problem wrong.. I am not sure how to state it in my native language so writing in English has not helped
I am not looking for books about taking action, I am looking for books that are written in a "practical style" (they are near real life). For example, TMF , Miracle Morning, 7 Day Start Up.
My problem with some books is they are written in a philosophical style, so a lot of talking about really theorethical ideas.

But reading your answers, made me realise a bit I am asking for too much.
I am overthinking, thinking about "how can I react right to person X if he has done a really bad job" while I am not even reacting right when person X did a good job.

Pick one thing and do it until it becomes a habit.

I will reread some of said books and instead of looking at the big picture look at the small steps I can do now without help from the author. And once I get to more difficult situations, I am good enough to tackle this task?

Hey Ika,

I have read quite a few so called self help books but the one that has helped me the most by far is The Chimp Paradox by Professor Steve Peters. It is very easy to read and understand. Have a look at the reviews on amazon. I guarantee it will change the way you think about every action and reaction you have in any situation.

The Chimp Paradox: The Mind Management Programme to Help You Achieve Success, Confidence and Happiness

As Andy Black said: " Don't read books to learn how to take action. Take action."

However, I have already read a book on this (Awaken the Giant Within - Tony Robbins.)

Based on what I learned, this is basically everything you need to know in order to start taking massive action and achieve the results you desire.


Ultimate Success Formula

1. Target - Know your outcome.
2. Action - Take action that you believe will produce the results you desire – else your desire will always only be your dreams
3. Determine Response - Develop sensory acuity to recognise the responses and results you are getting to determine whether they are moving towards the outcome.
4. Adapt and change until desired result is achieved - Develop the flexibility to change your action until you get the result you want to achieve your outcome.

Modeling

1. Fid someone who is already getting the results you want
2. Find out what that person is doing
3. Do the same things, and you'll get the same results.

Daily Goal Setting

• Each morning take a pen and a piece of paper and write down your goals.
• Remember to write them in the positive present tense and remember to set a deadline for each goal. (For example you could set the goal “I make 10,000 dollars per month by the 31 of December 2016.”)

Monitor your levels of activity

Keep a journal.
Write down your failures, successes, what can be done to improve, ideas and etc.

Hope this helps.


P.S. - Don't trick yourself into thinking that reading is taking action. Reading is just a compliment. It just reinforces what you're learning through experience and sheds some light on what you can do to improve. The best thing you can do is take action AND read.

not a fan of the four hour workweek may work for some mindsets perhaps.
