Having been to a John Maxwell seminar, I know that people who got the chance to attend one too felt the same way that I did. The empowerment he gives while equipping you with leadership skills, the magical motivation talk that exits his mouth and the most memorable feeling of all, that one sensation that he makes you feel, that you will be very successful and is capable of doing anything.
Going to such seminars, one would surely bring a tool or two for jotting down notes or starting up a recorder to record his lessons. For some who wants to read books, this is your lucky day because I will write here five of the most recommended books that he ever wrote and I’ve heard that on his lessons and not just any other sources. You can say that, I’ve heard it from the horses’ mouth!
5 recommended books about Success and Leadership from John Maxwell
1. Today Matters
John Maxwell reveals here the secret to cooking your success tomorrow. Some of us think much about the past. Some over-estimate the future. What people don’t know is, the most important day you will experience is today and making today your masterpiece is the key to success.
2. Talent is never enough
This book highlights talents. It shows that talent is not everything. There are limits to what it can do to you and knowing the 13 attributes to maximize your talents, you will be more successful in life.
3. The Difference Maker
Attitude is a difference maker and this book shows you how you can make it your attitude the best asset you have!
4. 21 Irrefutable laws of leadership
The title itself says it all, but don’t be deceived. A few years back, I already finished reading this. At a recent John Maxwell seminar, he announced that he revamped 75 percent of the book. I guess it’s time to buy and read the updated version of it.
5. Failing Forward
The difference between achieving people and average people is their response to the failures they make. Maxwell reveals here the secret of moving beyond failure and translating failures into lessons that will make you successful.
These are books that will create a big impact on your life! If it helped me a lot, it will help you too! Some of the few things he said in the seminar that I cannot forget was, “The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.” and “When you stop learning you stop growing.” He also told us that reading books is an investment. Are you reading everyday?
