Review by Goal

Clear goals are a catalyst for success. The great majority of successful people have clearly defined goals that led them to their accomplishments. If any one of us is to have the best chance at a successful life, we must start with a clear set of goals. For more on goal setting I suggest you visit some of the books in Personal Development such as Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

Goal setting is something that only you can do for yourself. I am sure to reevaluate my goals and mission every 4-6 months to be sure I am on track. On this page I have provided a list of somewhat generic goals that I know all my readers will be able to relate to in some form or another. Under each goal (which I encourage you to make your own by adding specifics to it), I have included a list of books that I believe will best facilitate you accomplishing each goal. The goals are in no particular order but the books under each goal are listed in the order in which you should read them.

After all it was my goals that pushed me to read the majority of the books on this site.I am speaking from experience when I categorize them as I have. You will notice some books listed under more than one goal. That should give you an idea of that particular book’s importance to success. I hope this helps in your journey.
