Top 5 Books of 2021 

To all my book lovers, this blog is for you! I get asked all the time about what books I am reading. Anyone who knows me, knows I am constantly reading books that help me grow in all areas of life. I read so many books in 2021, but these five have to be my favorites. 

 

• The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

1. 1. 1. The book includes 19 short stories packed full of life lessons we can learn from digging into the strange ways people think about money. It had a ton of practical items that are easy to relate to. Morgan Housel does an amazing job at explaining things that we do with money that we do just because. The book also gives good examples of behaviors that financially successful people have exhibited in the past and how to learn from that. Highly recommended by Mark Melichar!

• Becoming a King by Morgan Snyder

1. 1. 1. Slow at the start but WONDERFUL. This book really challenged me, not just as a man, but a man of God. Morgan Snyder really digs deep into reconstructing how Christians view responsibility and masculinity. Recommended to me by a very successful friend from my coaching days, Tre Lamb. This one truly spoke to me as a dad as well.

• The Monk Who sold his Ferrari by Robin Sharma

1. 1. 1. This book was an amazon recommendation with a great title that really grabbed me. It definitely has a philosophical and financial focus. I learned so much about how to find purpose and deal with your time in a profound way. This was extremely well written to be a self education book. Great Story. 

• Praying circles around your Children by Mark Batterson

1. 1. 1. Probably the 3rd or 4th time I have read this. LOVE LOVE LOVE this. The author is a personal favorite of mine that I will always go back to. I feel that the teachings in this are honestly worth reading every year. Recommended to any Jesus believing parent. A must read. 

• The One Thing by Gary Keller

1. 1. Incredibly popular business book that I finally read. I know this book to be popular amongst many realtors, probably because Gary Keller started Keller Williams Realty. Helps create focus in all areas of life calling readers to find their “ONE THING” that makes everything else they do easier. The theories and practices in this are so effective, I made my team read it and apply it to weekly meetings! Also recommended by Mark Melichar!

This past year’s readings definitely kick started some inspiration in my life to work better, live better, and just be better all around. I have linked all the books so you can try any of them out for yourself! I would love to hear any feedback you have, and I can’t wait to get started on this year’s array of life-changing books!
