Based on blogging for around a year now, I would like to list down top five books which I have found to be quite interesting and can be recommended as a preliminary reading for any one who is interested in learning, growth, self development and getting inspired.
I have developed the list with links from my blog so that you can read more about the book and some of the ideas after which you can make your mind about reading the whole book.
I would recommend these book to students, busy professionals, business executives, entrepreneurs and any one who is looking forward to learn from the experiences of other people. Here is the list:
5. What they don’t teach you at Harvard Business School?
This is the book written by a person who created a multi million dollar business from an initial capital of US $ 500 – Marck Mc Cormack! If you are interested in learning from experiences of a street smart executive, this is the book to read. In areas of people management, sales and business, one can learn a lot from this book.

Dr. David Schwartz has written this inspiring book on developing a positive mental attitude through use of right vocabulary and right attitude. You can read more from http://wisdomfrombooks.com/?p=804
3. Rich Dad, Poor Dad
If you are interested to learn about secrets of rich, this is the book. Why are some people rich and why some are not? Are there some habits which rich people have and others don’t? R. Kiyosaki has written this powerful and interesting book in a very simple and easy to understand manner. Read more from: http://wisdomfrombooks.com/?p=54
2. Seven habits of highly effective people
What does it mean to be ’pro-active’? Why are some people effective in daily lives while some are not? Stephen R. Covey has divided characteristics of highly effective people in two broad categories: self dependence and inter dependence. If you are interested to spot the young lady and read more about the book, here is your link: http://wisdomfrombooks.com/?p=320

The best self-help book that I’ve read is slightly religious in nature. It’s a renowned book in Sufi circles titled “Kashf-ul-Mahjub” or “Revelation of The Veiled” by Hazrat Data Ali Hajveri r.a. The book is a great guide for any man who wants to get rid of bad habits, and discipline oneself.
Definitely recommended to anyone who wishes to improve himself. The book is more spiritually oriented instead of catering the material side of life.
And just BTW, in my opinion we can read the best book in the world but it can never inspire us to the extent that meeting with a wise and inspirational man helps in motivating us. My greatest inspiration and motivator has been an old friend of mine, and not a book. I’m sure Sir, you’ll agree. Just a comment!
Thanks Umair for comments – I would like to add here that a good mentor, perhaps, can provide the best inspiration. However, authors who have shared their experiences provide useful insight towards crests and troughs of life. Advantage which we get from going through books is many folds: Diversity of experiences, learning from working of other people etc. Again, meeting a person one on one and learning from him / her is obviously unmatched – thanks for sharing your thoughts
Dear Malik Sahib
I admire your reading habbits and knowledge sharings.

Umair,
The book you recommended is enriched philosophy book and I honestly believe one can not get it in first reading.
Thank you for sharing these books. These ALL are great books. Your blog was great way of sharing good stuff ALL the year. You deserve a big applause
On my new year resolution I have goal of reading AT LEAST 12 new books in 2011 (one per month). Among your top 5 books list, the “What they don’t teach you at Harvard Business School?” is yet to be read.
It is said that “readers are leaders”, I guess it’s true
“The only difference between where you are NOW and where you will in five year from now are the people you meet and the books you read” (Charlie Jones)
Let’s m-a-k-e 2011 a great YEAR!
