Glam but first coffee
I should start by saying that these are the books that have been advised to read by my friends or well-known bloggers and Youtubers. Whenever someone suggests a good book, I write it down in my book wish list for whenever I am about to buy a new book. These are the ones that are the most suggested and which I see as motivational books for success that you must read! Not only for success but to have the motivation and inspiration to continue!
Have you heard of these books? Which ones would you add to this list? Let me know in the comments down below!
“How to be an overnight success?” by Maria Hatzistefanis
I have this book on my wish list for over a few years but somehow have not bought it yet (maybe because these books do cost around $20). This is the book that will be the next one I buy!
The book tells the story about Rodial: the company that sells snake serum and everyone called it an overnight success but do we see what is behind that overnight success? Maria, it’s founder worked very hard for years in her bedroom to make this be her success! Now she tells us about her hard work and efforts to become an “overnight success”.
I always have liked stories and books that are written by people who know what struggle is and have worked hard to reach the peak!

“How to Make it Happen: Turning Failure into Success!” by Maria Hatzistefanis
I did not know that the same author and businesswoman has another book! As I understood from the description, this is almost like a continuation. What to do when you have this success- how to keep it, what to do to continue with growing and stay motivated!
Definitely, I need to have both books at some point in my life. Since I started taking blogging and Youtube seriously, I am interested in this type of books much more, searching for that motivation and inspiration from women who have done it all!
Maria has three rules to succeed: set your goals, plot your trajectory and make it happen! A few weeks ago I understood how important it is to set your goals and make a plan for how you will reach it and then go for it! It changes everything! Try it!
“To hell with the hustle” by J.Bethke and T. Nelson
I have a feeling that this may be the second book that I buy from all of this list. These books teach us how to fight against social norms and rules that life puts us through. How to live in a world where it is everything about hustle, having bomb career, happy family and perfect life!
“To hell with the hustle” going to teach us to fight against the stressors in our life, it is for people who are tired to feel anxious and burned out!
“Daring greatly” by Brene Brown
New York Times bestseller! The book is about vulnerability, it has always been seen as a weakness but Brene explains that it may actually be an act of courage! This book is about courage and telling us how vulnerability can open doors for all kinds of emotions including love, empathy, joy, and creativity. When we do not vulnerability enter our minds, we shut ourselves off new experiences and life.
The book teaches us how to step in, how to not be afraid to get hurt and judged and how to keep going and gain new experiences and reach our dreams by moving forward and not being afraid of vulnerability!
“The 4h workweek” by Timothy Ferriss
The New York Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Body.
“The 4h workweek” is the step-by-step guide to your luxurious lifestyle, reach more by working fewer hours! It tells us how Tim went from working 8 hours per week to 4 hours per week and gaining the same amount of money. How many people travel the world while working? Have you wondered about that because I have!
This book is an actual guide and showing tips and tricks on how to succeed by less effort and reach your goal no matter what kind of goal it is- is it traveling the world or reach six-figure income! This book is about how to work less but live more! Sound too good to be the truth right? I agree, therefore I will need to read this and find out myself!
“Work party” by Jaclyn Johnson
Jaclyn is the founder and CEO of Create & Cultivate (the fastest growing online platform and conference for millennial women in business). She teaches women that they can have it all what they put their mind on! She is the lady that has hustled a lot during her young age, she has been kicked out and then betrayed by her business partner which lead her to lose her business. Guess what? She raised again and again like a Phoenix from ashes.
In “Work party” Jaclyn tells us how she turned the failure into success by determination and hard work. This book takes you in the movement that is the Work party and at the same time have fun while reaching goals!
“Everything is f*cked” by Mark Manson
From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck. I guess this is another book we have to read, hehe. There are so many I cannot even follow up! Mark Manson has understood that technologies make us care about things that are not important. These things that are made to make us happier, actually make people unhappier.
This is the book about hope! It seems like we live in a dream world where we are the happiest, healthiest and wealthiest then people have ever been in the history but at the same time, it feels like everything is as f*cked as it can be! Mark looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the Internet, and how they can eat us alive! The book is filled with philosophy and definition of hope, which is described in a humouristic way.

“You do you” by Sarah Knight
Sarah Knight has a lot of good and motivational books but there are two that I have heard the most of- “You do you” and “The life-changing magic of not giving a F*ck”. The second mentioned one gave her a title the bestseller author of The New York Times.
It should be easy to be yourself but instead of that, we feel smaller than ever. Always belittled by society and our family. We must put our happiness first and stop people to tell you what to do, how to do it and when to do it! This book sounds great and I am seriously into buying this one as well! It is something that I have lived by and it has made me happier than ever! Trust me, from my own experience, you will never be happy by following what other people tell you to do! They tell it because people are selfish and egoists and because they do not do in their life what they want. Therefore they want to ruin the life of others. Do not let them!

“Ask for it” by L. Babcock and S. Laschever
How to negotiate as a woman to get what you want? Women are used to not ask, not negotiate and agree to everything that is put on the table, but you should not do that! Negotiate and fight for what you are worth! The book will make you realize how much more you are worth, no matter if we talk about career and professional worth or about relationships! You are worth to ask more!
I need this book! I feel like many times I will not ask more and feel like I do not deserve more to avoid drama or avoid the hate. How many women can relate to this? What I like the most about this book is that it teaches how to play with your strengths and negotiate to reach an agreement that is not only good for you but on all sides involved! That way you do not lose a job, reputation or partner. Want this book!

“Like a Virgin” by Richard Branson
Who does not know about Richard Branson? I remember that I learned about him on a TV show when I was little! It was a reality show as I remember and the prize was working with him!
Do you want to learn about leadership and business from the best? Richard shares his experience and knowledge about the business that has to lead him to one of the most popular entrepreneurs. The best tips and tricks about business, he calls this book as a business school. Let’s see!
“12 rules for life” by Jordan B. Peterson
What does everyone must know in the modern world? This book tells it all in an informative and humorous way! Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboard kids should be left alone and not bothered, why we should pet every cat we meet and what fate awaits those who criticize too easily.
What I love about this book is the way it relates to the modern world with the ancient world, teaching us how we can learn from the ancient world, for example from Egyptians. I would say that this book is about wisdom and life rules we must have for good karma as a successful life path!
