I read a lot of business books. Usually, I read a couple at the same time which confuses my wife but the different ideas and view points I receive keep my creative energy going. Recently, I’ve been thinking about which books I’d keep if I could only read three for the rest of my life. These are the three that came to mind.

• The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea by Bob Burg and John David Mann
• Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
• Meatball Sundae: Is Your Marketing out of Sync? by Seth Godin

I’ve chosen these three for their principles, readability, and creative energy. I can and have read these books several times. Each time, I get something new out of them. They inspire me and send my creative energy through the roof. If I find myself sitting around wondering what to do next, I’ll pick up one of these titles and start reading. The wheels in my head will start churning and I’ll be able to move past the mental block.

If you could only choose three books to read for the rest of your life, what would they be?
