Christmas is right around the corner.

That means many people will be doing some last minute holiday shopping before the big day comes.

You might be wondering what type of gifts should you get your family and friends.

One suggestion I can make is to buy them some books.

“What buy them some books?” you might ask.

Yes, buy them some books.

The cost of a book will be in your price range if you are on a budget.

And books have the power to change people’s lives for the better if they apply the lessons they have read.

To give you a head start on researching for books, here are five books I believe will be a great Christmas present for your friends and family.

1. What Just Happened? by Jimmy Burgess

This book really is inspirational because Mr. Burgess was very transparent about his success and also his failures in business and life.

It is an easy read and once you start, you will not want to put the book down.

I finished the book in one day.

2. ReWork by 37 Signals

Rework was written by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson in 2010.

The book is the polar opposite to what business schools have been teaching for decades on running a business.

Though it is 288 pages, the book is an easy read as well because each chapter is about 3 to 4 pages and the message get straight to the point.

3. The Happiness of Pursuit by Chris Guillebeau

This book is a masterpiece by Mr. Guiullebeau because he showcases others who had their own personal quest to achieve.

He shares about his journey to visit 193 countries in the world and also documents the challenges that he faced in achieving the quest.

The book will make you laugh, make you cry and also make you contemplate about fulfilling a personal quest that you had always dreamed of for many years.

4. The FabYouList by Susan Campbell Cross

The FabYouList is one book that everyone should read because Mrs. Cross shares her personal story of how she achieved all of her list.

You will be amazed by the grit and determination of Mrs. Cross in accomplishing her goals.

Once you read this book, you will be inspired to create your own list and achieve them.

A fair warning: Some of her list may not be suitable for anyone under the age of 18, so be very cautious of who you share the book with.

5. What If And Why Not? by Jen Groover

If you ever had a desire to start a business and you are afraid of failure, then this book is for you.

Jen Groover showcases her journey to be successful with her business, “The Butler Bag” and the obstacles she faced.

The one thing that pushed Ms. Groover to succuss and helped her to overcome failure is having the regrets of not pursing her dream of being a business owner.

One of the important messages that is detailed in the book is that “everyone has a story to share.”

So there you have it, the five books that you should get this Christmas season.

Really believe that they will change your live and jumpstart the New Year with hope and optimism.
