100 Greatest Books that Shaped the World

I have researched the 100 greatest books that shaped the world to help show our people the world of possibilities in whatever endeavour they lay their hands on! People build nations, Nations build people through knowledge. Knowledge is power, but you still have to use the knowledge to generate the power! Where do you find the useful knowledge and how do you use it to generate the power? This is the beginning of the journey.

It was said that ‘if you want to hide a treasure from a black man, put it in a book’! In as much as I do not subscribe to this notion, it is high time we started encouraging our people to take up reading. The only way to do this is to show them those books that have transformed the lives of many people regardless of race or religion.

The easiest way to greatness is to emulate the greats; if you have the same belief and work as hard as great men of the past and present; nothing can stop your rise to the top. Achievement is not only counted in dollars, whatever your goals in life (if you have any, many don’t) you will find in these 3 books principles that will wake you up from your inertia and you will be empowered to achieve the greatness that God has destined for you. Anthony Robbins says ‘it is in your moment of decision that your destiny is shaped’.

Is it your moment of destiny now? Then go for it! Click on the links for the books Think and Grow Rich Napoleon Hills, My Life and Work by Henry Ford and Awaken the Giant Within Tony Robbins.
