Life, as a man, isn't easy.
Almost all books and resources on the Internet talk about the hardships of a woman, but people don't talk about the difficulties that men face as they go through life. Whether it is about earning a livelihood or attracting women, things are never easy for men.
The good news is that there are a few things that can help men improve the quality of their life; and one of them is reading self-improvement books. Unfortunately, men often tend to become defensive about reading self-improvement books as they are too protective of their egos. But think again, your ego will take you nowhere; so it is best to accept the fact that no one is born perfect. You need to make yourself perfect.
Here is a list of 5 books that will help you get started towards the journey of self-improvement and become the man women dream of:
1. The Four Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss
This one is a must-read for youth that are on the verge of joining their dream jobs and dedicating their lifetime to work. Most of us immerse ourselves in our work to the extent that we forget we have a life of our own. There are things we are passionate about and there are people who need us. We become so engrossed in our work (even though we do not want to) that our job titles become our self-descriptions.
The Four Hour Work Week is a book that helps the youth identify their passion and spend less time doing things they don't like. Doing so helps you focus things that make you happy.
Alert - It definitely does not talk about how you can earn millions of dollars within a week or month. It encourages you to live life to the fullest and make the most of your youth!
2. Whatcha Gonna Do with That Duck?: And Other Provocations by Seth Godin
Whatcha Gonna Do with That Duck?: And Other Provocations is one the several masterpieces created by Seth Godin and one of the best self-improvement books you can come across. Apart from self-improvement, the book focuses on a number of other areas of improvement. It provides men with a completely new perspective of life that is fresher, more vibrant and packed with possibilities.
In a blog post from Whatcha Gonna Do with That Duck, the author says, "We're surrounded by people who are busy getting their ducks in a row, waiting for just the right moment. . . Getting your ducks in a row is a fine thing to do. But deciding what you are going to do with that duck is a far more important issue." This book will be your friend, philosopher and guide and help you venture into the no-comfort zone. It is powerful enough to make you feel the onset of a new age where you can get rid of everything you dislike and own everything you like.
If you are really keen on self-improvement, make sure you read this book.
3. The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
"When you show yourself to the world and display your talents, you naturally stir all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity... you cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others." - Robert Greene
