Read This Next: Books That Actually Changed How We Run Our Business and Our Lives

from Big Bad Marketing Podcast · host Big Bad Marketing

Some books are great for passing the time, some help you slip into an entirely different world, but some of the greatest books for us are those that shifted our perspective, that taught us to look at the world in a new way. From ancient yoga philosophy to modern time management, in this episode we cover the reads that landed for us and could conservatively be called "books that changed our lives".We're not giving you the same tired business book list everyone recommends (sorry, but no 7 Habits of Highly Effective People or How to Win Friends and Influence People up in here). These are the books we go back to, recommend constantly, and credit with shifting something fundamental in how we run our business and our lives. Some are tactical. Some are deeply personal. All of them are worth sharing with you.Things we mentioned in this episode:Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver BurkemanHow to Do the Work by Dr. Nicole LaPeraExcuses Begone by Wayne DyerThe Myth of Normal by Gabor MatéGift from the Sea by Anne Morrow LindberghBig Magic by Elizabeth GilbertThe Comfort Crisis by Michael EasterThe Yoga Sutras translated by Reverend Jaganath CarreraThe Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake KogaBe Here Now by Ram DassDeep Work by Cal NewportSlow Productivity by Cal NewportSmart Brevity (authors not specified in transcript)A Year with Rumi: Daily Readings translated by Coleman BarksThe Anxious Generation (mentioned by Brooke)$100 Million Offers by Alex Hormozi$100 Million Leads by Alex Hormozi$100 Million Money Models by Alex HormoziSign up for the Big Bad Marketing newsletter: https://www.bigbadmarketing.com/newsletterTake our free Growth Bottleneck Quiz: https://sales.bigbadmarketing.com/bottleneck-quizBook a free 15-minute intro call: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/15-minute-call-bbm
