@Loreena Looks like you have a bunch to read already. You can PM me for more if you run out.....for some reason, despite the seeming cheezy-ness with it being such a best seller...and having this tittle.....I'm going to put this one first....because I feel it's the most personally-revolutionary for me:

The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle

Tough question, I mean that's literally my entire blog. What I usually tell people is that it depends on what the person is looking for. What goal are you trying to accomplish? What challenge are you facing?

I don't look at time management / productivity tricks because you're not getting to the root cause of the problem.

Generally speaking, what I often see is that people claim they need productivity hacks, but really they lack self-awareness, suffer from limiting beliefs or fail to think strategically.

I'm sure there are some useful productivity tricks. But it's just not what I'm interested in because you're not going to solve very much.

If you haven't read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, start there. That's a classic for a reason.

After that, I'd look into The Big Leap and The Success Principles. If social media seems to be a problem, definitely check out Deep Work.

Bonus: Read The Obstacle is the Way. Amazing book for flipping your paradigm on obstacles.

Good luck! Those are all links to my blog. Let me know how those books worked for you.

Just a suggestion- workshops are really good for this. Especially after your comment about reading. 

Workshops that make you partner up and do exercises, goofy, but by the time you leave, you've already started doing the practices.

Good luck. 

Black chalkboard paint is great too. It's a unique experience having a wall to write out anything you want, think, etc. I've done a lot of self discovery this way.

Echoing this. Probably the most efficient and cheap piece of technology I got for self development. For me it was whiteboard foil, but it's the same concept. You will always look at it, and this alone will keep you on track. It's just something different to have this in your living space, in your hand writing, instead of just a note on an organizer or computer, that you only open on demand. I even tried recreating it with a tablet, a compatible pen and apps for it, to be able to take it on the road, but even ignoring the possible distractions, it's not as good. I still use it sometimes, but as soon as I get home, that shit goes up on the wall.

Most of the time just one word on the board is enough.  It works even better in conjunction with a journaling habit, because you always have a quick way to note something down that's on your mind, and you can get back to contemplate about later, it was a missing puzzle piece for me. Great place to put your mission statements, core values, whatever you're working on. It's very compatible with most of Leos videos, because of the way he structures them, almost all topics have core concepts and certain catch phrases.  If you want to archive your "mind map", you can just make a picture of it. Nothing needs to get lost, just because it's on your wall.

The only downside is that people seeing your wall of the weird will think you're a crazy person.
