10X Is Easier Than 2X is a fascinating book that I couldn't stop reading. You will learn why it's much easier to go for “impossible” goals (10X goals) instead of doing more of the same (2X goals).

How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams is one of the best books I've read all year. It has common sense advice for learning how to win as you fail through life. 

He talks about topics such as: 

- public speaking
- persuasion
- goals versus systems (so good!)
- why passion is B.S. 
- affirmations
- luck
- diet and exercise for energy management

And a whole host of other things to help make your life awesome.

Reframe Your Brain by Scott Adams uses techniques Scott learned from being a certified hypnotist. 

Sometimes, to create a better life, you just need to look at things in a different way. Scott teaches you how to do that in each area of your life. 

One of his most famous reframes that has helped many people out is: 

Usual frame: Alcohol is a beverage. 
Reframe: Alcohol is poison. 

This one has helped countless people stop drinking. But he has loads more for grief, walking your dog, criticism, creativity, and much more.
