Top 16 Books About Changing Your Mindset Updated 04 /2024

To help you get better at yourself or learn how to use your mind, you might be told to read a book called "Mindset." Or, someone might quote a certain book.

One good thing we can do in our lives is to start reading so that we can grow and become better people. There have been a lot of powerful and inspiring books written by a lot of different people over the years. In the development of their mindset, these things have pushed people to new heights. The same for both young and old.

There are so many books to choose from, so I want to give you a list of everything. During my life, these books helped me become the person I am today. I think they can do the same for you.

This is important to cover before we get into the list. Because I've read a lot of books, that doesn't mean other people will have the same experience as me.

Reading a book isn't the same for everyone. But every book has a basic value for people. These books not only help us improve our reading and comprehension skills, but they also give us a lot of information.

We don't know what will make us think about things in a new way. But, all the same, that can change our lives because we will see our problems in a new way.

As I said, there are a lot of books that can help us learn a lot. Many mindset books are still relevant in today's world, no matter when they were written. Because most or all of the books you read on how to change your mindset are still relevant today.

Below are some of my favorite books. You can pick the ones that make you happy.

The Power Of Habit 

You can start by reading The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. After that book, he also wrote Smarter Faster Better, which is another book I'd like to read.

Duhigg says in the book that 40% of what we do each day comes from the habits we make. Duhigg worked with neuroscientists to show that this is true. They did studies where people broke bad habits and were tested to see if their brain activity changed as a result.

This is what they found: It was interesting, and it made sense.

One bad habit is all you need to change your whole life.

Duhigg then turns that into things people can use in business and society.

The Happiness Project

For people who want more balance in their lives, this is a book about how to think about things. Gretchen Rubin, the author of the book, did a self-test for a year.

She divided happiness into 12 sub-categories, and each month she focused on one of them.

It looks like she was able to find a good balance between her work and her home life.

Search Inside Yourself

Chade-Meng Tan wrote this book. Tan still works for Google. A software engineer was his first job. Later, he changed jobs. He is now a personal growth coach with a focus on mindfulness, but he used to be a teacher.

In the book, the subject is very important. He focuses on emotional intelligence, but not all of it. The key to Tan's success, health, and peace of mind is to learn how to use this intelligence.

Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff

Richard Carlson wrote this book, which is a long time ago but still a great one. When we read mindset books, we can sometimes use them to remind us of things we already know.

People should remember that even small problems and frustrations add up over time. This book shows us that this is true.

And the best way to get rid of them is to not worry so much about the small things.

Loveability

Richard Holden, Ph. D., wrote this book about how to think about love. It talks about how to give and receive love both internally and externally. This book also talks about other types of love that we often forget about.

Love is everywhere, even in relationships that we don't like. Holden thinks this is true even if we don't like them. To him, not having love makes him afraid, not angry. Because of this, he can be in unique places to show love at all levels.

The 52 Weeks: Two Women and Their Quest to Get Unstuck, with Stories and Ideas to Jumpstart Your Year of Discovery

This book was written by Karen Young and Pam Godwin. It looks like a book for women, but there are some powerful lessons for everyone. They want to go on a new adventure every week for one year.

Each new thing they did was a small goal, but each one they did made them realize something:

Learning, experiencing, and growing are all things that happen in this world. This is what I learned.

This book also talks about advice from psychologists and life coaches that is both practical and sound, and it's in this book.

Prisons We Choose To Live Inside

When this book was written by Doris Lessing in the 1980s, it was still important today. You don't get to read a whole book, but you do get to read some essays based on what Lessing said back then.

This book talks about how social groups influence how we think about the world. This is what we learn from groups like church, politics, and government. They help us figure out who is good and bad.

 

From those beliefs, we think we are right and that our actions are right when we try to "fix" people or treat people badly. All in all, this book makes us think about the world in a new way.

The Myth of More

In this book, Joseph Novello challenges the idea that happiness makes us happy. He says that this is not true. When we buy a new house, get a promotion, or get a new car, we feel better.

In Novello's free time, he tries to figure out why these things won't make us happy. Instead, he wants us to enjoy the process of looking for things.

A lot of people don't like this book because it's so dry. There are strong stories, good humor, and enough sadness to keep people interested.

7 Habits Of Highly Effective People

People who change their habits can have a big impact on their lives, as I said in the text above. While it's good to change bad habits with better ones, there are other habits we could start. It's a good idea to follow the habits that are described in this book.

In this book, written by Stephen R. Covey, he takes the best habits from some of the most successful people in the world and puts them all in one place. He also talks about mindset in the book.

He wants the reader to change how they think about productivity, time management, and positive thinking. All the things that make you think that way.

Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience

The goal of this book is to make you think about things in a new way.

For many of us, the best memories we have are of vacations we took or of a special dinner with our friends and family. What this book does is shake up our memories and make us want to like other things. We sometimes put in more effort at work in order to reach a certain goal.

It shows us how to bring flow into our lives and use that to do great things.
