3 Must-Read Books Before the End of 2018

With the end of the year coming up, it's a great time to get in some solid personal growth to start the new year.  Throughout the course of the year, I endeavor to read at least 2 new books per month.  

Every book is typically very good and thought-provoking, but once in a while, some books really stand above the rest.

Here are 3 of the most outstanding books I've found in 2018 that you should consider reading prior to 2019 to help you with your personal growth.

Wealth For All by Idowu Koyenikan

I found this obscure book by chance.  I was looking for a quote for one of the Misfit Minute newsletters and came across a wonderful quote from Idowu.  I had never heard of him, so I looked him up and saw his book.  It was a short read with some great topics, so I picked it up.  I was surprised to find it as insightful and refreshing as it is.  Many of the topics covered in it are ones you've heard before, but Idowu has a way to cut through the noise and go straight to the point and the action you need to do to really make these principles work in your life.  Idowu delivers in 3 pages what many authors take 25 to do.  

Redefine Impossible by James Lawrence aka The Iron Cowboy

This is a book about the potential of us as human beings and how far we truly can push ourselves.  Maybe it is because I am an endurance athlete and Ironman participant, but this book really made me think about the limits we place on ourselves and how to lift them.  James completed 50 full Ironman races in 50 days in 50 states - in a row.  That is not a typo.  Each day, James got up, swam 2.4 miles, biked 112, and ran a marathon for 50 days straight.  There are so many lessons this book teaches about life and business that, endurance athlete or not, you can take and use.  And, it is an awesome story as well.  

Non-Business Book:  Killing the SS by Bill O'reilly and Martin Dugard

In your personal growth routine, you should always mix in some non-business related material.  For me, that is studying history.  I absolutely love history and am amazed at how little of it is taught in our schools.  Most people have no clue of the history of even their own country, let alone the world.  And there is gold there.  So much to learn about where we have been and where are going - and how history does truly repeat itself.  Killing the SS is the story of hunting down the most vial and despicable Nazi leaders that escaped after WWII.  It is shocking who helped them escape and what it took to bring many of them to justice.  This book is a riveting story from start to finish that I read in about 2 days.  It is chilling and shocking what we don't know about this era in history.  And there are a lot of lessons we can take from it.
