As you run around doing your last Christmas shopping this week, have you remembered your favorite person? (You!)

I know you do a lot for others in your life: your family and relatives, your co-workers or employees, those people who serve you at your favorite restaurants, cleaners, mail carriers, etc. – but and you?

As we look forward to New Year’s Eve and a whole new year of dreams and goals, why not treat yourself to a couple of books (or audiobooks) that can motivate and support you in achieving those dreams?

Here are my five favorite motivational and inspirational books. If you haven’t read them, then you’re in for a treat…

#1. “The Advanced Formula for Total Success” by Dr. Robert Anthony. This is a classic and one I read every year. It’s packed with the truth about what’s holding you back from achieving your dreams, AND it tells you how to free yourself from the brakes.

It’s out of print, but luckily Amazon.com has plenty of sellers still offering copies from a few dollars to over $40. Pick it up today and prepare for a powerful, life-changing book that you will enjoy for years to come.

#two. “Find and Use Your Inner Power” by Emmet Fox. I read sections of this book almost every day. It is a book of essays, each a page to a page and a half long. The essays deal with the law of attraction from a spiritual perspective. Simply one of the best books that exist to remember the truth.

I recommend that you start each day by reading a page or two.

#3. “The Secret” by Rhonda Bryne. One of the most accessible books on the law of attraction. If you’re not familiar with this concept, this is a great introductory book.

Bonus Book: Another great introductory book on the law of attraction is “How a Man Thinks” by James Allen. This book is probably available for free as an e-book. Great, quick read that will change your mind.

#4. “The Principles of Success” by Jack Canfield. If you’re looking for a more comprehensive, step-by-step guide to setting and achieving goals, this book will take you there. Make sure you have a notebook handy, as Jack will have you working out while you plan the rest of your life.

If you’re ready, Jack is too.

#5. “The Complete Book of Phone Scripts”, e-book for sellers. How could I not include the best selling book on phone scripts in this list of books to help you have an amazing 2017?

If you’re in sales, then this is a must. Let’s face it: 80-90% of the objections and stops you get are the same, day in and day out. You will be 100% more effective if you take the time to script best practices for dealing with them. It’s called being prepared. Plus, this is the gift that keeps on giving with over $500 in additional bonuses!

So there you have it. 5 (actually 6) books that will help you set goals and achieve them. Give yourself something that will continue to give you for the rest of your life.
