“Why should I care about books on how to build good habits?” you wonder. The reason is, as Jim Rohn said, “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”
Good habits are like clean oil in your career and life engine. Therefore, they are indispensable to your success. Good habits prevent your motivation engine from breaking down—on the highway of life.
For example, eating healthy, working out, and reading good books are excellent habits that lead to productivity, improvement, and a fulfilling life. And a life without these habits is an uphill battle. Now you may ask: “How should I develop good habits?”
You can get a coach, take classes, or learn from the pros and the champs by reading their books— and tapping into their experience. So, this post shares 5 books on how to build good habits to help you get started.
I am not sure they are for you but take a look at the list.
