This is my backlog of books for this year. Most of these books are in the context of self-development and mindfulness. Looking forward to learn about the parallels and new aspects proclaimed by the authors. In case there is something worth to share I will provide a summary of it in the books section.

Also happy to hear from you in the comments section below, if you are missing something.
The Science of Getting Rich (read)
by Wallace D. Wattles
This book was written in 1910 and mentioned in “the science behind ‘the Secret‘” as inspiration for the bestseller by Bryan. It is a practical description of the “law of attraction”.
Find it on amazon.
The Biology of Belief (read)
by Bruce H. Lipton
I saw Bruce on YouTube explaining his discovery that it is not genes that impact how our cells behave, but impulses from our environment. By controlling our environment, we could influence who we are – will be an interesting read.
Find it on amazon.
Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity (read)
Self-improvement is not just for the brain, but also for the body. Maybe this book is worth the time.
Flow
by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Would it be weird if I say, that I am addicted to the flow moment? I need to understand the rational behind it.
Deep Work
by Cal Newport
I am curious about why this book is so popular. To which extent are people having trouble to focus on their work and what exactly does Cal recommend to do about it.
Power vs. Force
by David R. Hawkins
This book was mentioned in a Podcast about emotions. It is about the hidden determinations of human behaviour based on the research around kinesiology.
This is Marketing
by Seth Godin
Already read “the linchpin” years ago. It is time to refresh my mind around the topic. Also in light of better addressing my blogposts.
Practicing the Power of Now
by Eckhart Tolle
I read “the power of now” years ago. This book is said to be a good refresher.
Traction: A Startup Guide to Getting Customers
by Gabriel Weinberg
This book was recommended by a reddit follower in order to learn more about customer growth and reach
Richard Bandler’s Guide to Trance-Formation
by Richard Bandler
Not sure if this book beats seeing Richard Bandler live.
The Let Them Theory
by Mel Robbins
I got this book as a gift and summary reads like “the subtle art of not giving a f*ck”.
Don’t believe everything you think
by Joseph Nguyen
I am looking forward seeing what parallel Nguyen has to Tolle with his book “the power of now”. At least the title reminds me of it.
The courage to be disliked
by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga
Habits are still underestimated when it comes to self-improvement. It is not only about what you do, but also what you avoid to do.
Atomic Habits
by James Clear
People tend to underestimate habits when it comes to self-improvement. It is not only about what you do, but also what you avoid to do.
The Power of Now
by Eckhart Tolle
It was quite a while, when I read it – Smartphones didn’t even exist back then. Just in case the other Eckhart Tolle book is not enough and time permits.
