CHAYA’S 101

Most Life-Changing Books

Many years ago, I adopted the practice of reading at least one book per month.  Often, I now go through phases where I read a new book each week. 

It is widely known that you become who you are by the books you read, the people you associate with, and the arenas in which you invest your time. 

There is another famous piece of wisdom that says you become like the five people you hang around the most. 

THOUGH BOOKS, WE HAVE THE AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO

pick anyone in the world

AS OUr INNER CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE

Many of my biggest mentors and most life-changing influencers have never even known my name.

But because I have become their student, read their works, and applied their wisdom, I can still have the privilege of standing on the shoulders of giants.

From all of the books I’ve read over the years, I’m giving you here my Top 101 Most Life Changing Picks, divided into my Eight Lanes of Life. 

Watch the video for a brief description on my 8 Lanes of Success™. >>>

A Note from Chaya:

The final 2 categories of our 8 Lanes of Success™ are not reflected in this reading list. I never felt a need for outside experts to guide me on my desires for my Social life/Adventures and Community Involvement.  Now that I’ve launched a philanthropy, I’ve had to up-skill myself quite heavily in the education industry, but I’ve lumped those particular books into “Family Health” for the sake of our general audience. If you find that you need to up-skill yourself in specific areas for your last two lanes, please take the initiative to do so.
