7 Life Changing Books That You Have To Read Before The End Of Summer '19

In This Article:

These books are business based, life changing, and everything in between. They were written by real people, that have real success. Reading these books will not only heighten your knowledge, but they will open your mind to things you may have never thought about before.

1. 'Good To Great' by Jim Collins 

It's a #1 best seller with over 1 million copies sold. "Why some companies make the leap... and other don't."

2. 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck' by Mark Manson

...is very literally the title itself. "A counterintuitive approach of living a good life."

3. 'Made to Stick' by Chip and Dan Heath

This book is about ideas that are made to stick. They cover ideologies about how to build an idea that is made to stick.

4. 'Milk and Honey' by Rupi Kaur

Unlike the others, this is a poetry book. The book itself has no actual advice in it, but it is a calming book to read in between all of the "to do" books; hence why it's in the middle of the list.

It will forever be one of my all time favorites.

5. 'The Future for Curious People' by Gregory Sherl

I'll do the book justice by leaving it up to you, rather curious people, to read.

6. 'How Psychology Works: Applied Psychology Visually Explained' by DK Publishing 

This is more of a text book that you would read in high school, but amped up with easy to follow diagrams and charts. It educated me in a way that I am thankful for. This book also increased my knowledge to read people, which is something that has become extremely valuable to me.

7. 'The Narcissist Next Door' by Jeffery Kluger 

Although this one was slightly triggering because of people I surrounded myself with in the past, it paints visuals that you cannot forget.

There are hundreds of other amazing books out there, but this is a great list to start at. After you begin to self educate, you will never want to stop and it's so much more than just a Life-Changing opportunity.

So pick up a book, order it from amazon, or take a quick trip to the library, and grab a cup of coffee. You won't be able to put them down.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
