For those wishing to succeed in life, I highly recommend reading Think and Grow Rich, an inspirational classic that will surely change the way you think and do things. This book is one of my favorites because it reveals the secrets of rich and powerful men who have made enormous contributions to this world. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. asked this question once: “What is your life’s blueprint? Whenever a building is constructed, you usually have an architect who draws a blueprint, and that blueprint serves as the pattern, as the guide, and a building is not well erected without a good, solid blueprint.” That, in a nutshell, is precisely what Think and Grow Rich is—a blueprint on how to become successful in life.

Also, As A Man Thinketh will show you how to always stay positive and keep successful thoughts flowing in your mind so you can live a prosperous life.
On your road to success, change is inevitable, and tackling problems in your life is something you must deal with. Therefore, you must learn how to adapt to change to become successful. Your life can be simple and joyous, or it can be hard and worrisome. It all depends on your decision-making and how you approach the ever-changing world around you. Even though Who Moved My Cheese? is a short read, the valuable lesson you learn from reading it will surely have a positive impact on your life for a very long time.
Who Moved My Cheese? is a simple parable that reveals profound truths. It is the amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a maze and look for cheese to nourish them and make them happy. Cheese is a metaphor for what you want to have in life, for example a good job, a loving relationship, money or possessions, health or spiritual peace of mind. The maze is where you look for what you want, perhaps the organisation you work in, or the family or community you live in. The problem is that the cheese keeps moving.

Arthur Fletcher, the former head of the United Negro College Fund, coined the well-known phrase, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." And I agree.

That’s why I recommend reading How Successful People Think, because if you can change your thinking, you can change your life for the better.
