I love to read. If someone were to give me $500.00 for a shopping spree, I would choose a book store over the women’s clothing store. When someone highly recommends a book to me, most times I will get the hard copy book, kindle edition or audio.
I asked a question June 4, 2017, "Tell me the name of a book that you have read that has motivated you, inspired you, helped you in your real estate business, etc.?” I did get some answers. So, let's see what the rain's recommendations are on a good book to read:
Eva B. Liland: The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson
Michael Setunsky: The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino
Richard Weeks: The Bible: The book of Romans written by Paul
Joe Pryor - Unconscious Branding by Douglas Van Praet
Ron and Alexandra Seigel: You Are Here: Discovering The Magic of the Present. Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist Zen Master
Harry F. D'Elia: Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey
Karen Jones Lewis: Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
Nina Hollander: Endless Referrals by Bob Burg
Buzz Mackintosh: Any book from the Dale Carnegie course
Debbie Reynolds: Who Moved my Cheese by Spencer Johnson
Thomas J. Nelson: The Referral of a Lifetime by Tim Templeton, Adrift 76 Days Lost At Sea by Steven Callahan, The Richest Man in Babylon by George Samuel Clason, & The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber
Will Hamm – Think and Grow rich by Napoleon Hill
Fred Griffin – The Holy Bible and Sales books by Frank Bettger
Dorie Dillard: Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands by Terri Morrison and Wayne A. Conway
Barbara Todaro: The Godfather by Mario Puzo
Richie Alan Naggar: Mutiny on the Bounty Trilogy by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall
Kathleen Daniels: No particular book but try reading spiritual & motivational books that speaks truth to help you in life
Annette Lawrence: Sit, Walk, Stand by Watchman Nee. I thought this information Annette wrote was worth posting as well. Reading real estate books about real estate business makes the reader indistinguishable from the other smiles in the sea of real estate agent smiley faces. The books I find most beneficial to my business are those that influence how I live my days. How one lives their days, is how they live their life. Books that compel me to examine my 'why' are most likely to influence the decisions I make in the moment. Phoenix stories from any discipline have the nugget of truth that when the student is ready, the transformation is possible. From the Divine Comedy to Comedy Central, the plight and plagues of the pursuit of power and pleasure unfold for the prepared student to recognize and respond.
Sandy Padula and Norm Padula: The Bible
Nathan Gesner: Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller
Gabe Sanders: The Dune series
Margaret Rome: Real Estate the Rome Way (Book written by one of our own Rain Members)
Praful Thakkar: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Dr. Steven Covey

Kasey & John Boles: Any (or every) of Thomas Sowell's books on the economy, 7 levels of communication by Michael Maher, 7 habits of highly effective people by Steven Covey and The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley -Kasey
Sam Shueh: How to Profit in the new Boomer MarketPlace" with Prof Furlong
