Fall has its good and not-so-good points. Cleaning leaves from your home’s gutter gets tiresome. Firing up the fireplace on a chilly fall evening, on the other hand, is something to look forward to after a long day slinging real estate.

Grab an afghan, pull up a comfy chair, and crack open a good book. Read on to find two suggestions we think will help get you motivated, back on track, and ready to take on 2022.

“The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth About Extraordinary Results,” Gary Keller and Jay Papasan

Published in 2013, Keller and Papasan’s book has garnered plenty of accolades. With 10,255 ratings at Amazon.com, 81% gave it 5 stars. But, that’s not all.

From the book’s Amazon page, we learned that “The ONE Thing” has earned:

• The number 1 spot with Wall Street Journal, USA Today and the New York Times
• A dozen book awards
• Goodreads’ “Top 100 Business Book of All Times”
• A spot-on national bestseller lists more than 575 times

What do Amazon reviewers say?

• “… one of the best books I’ve ever read”
• “amaaazing”
• “… I am sooo happy I bought this book”
• “This book helped me focus more on my business goals”

Oakland, California super-agent Kenny Truong, credits Keller’s book “… with helping him ignore the temptation to branch out to too many markets and refocus on his core farm area…,” according to Paul Hagey at Inman.com.

Only 1% of the reviewers gave the book one star. Among these reviewers, one says that the authors claim as their own a very old concept, another is that the authors could’ve gotten the point across in a blog post and yet another says “The entire book was fluff. It just constantly spoke in general terms.”

We recommend “The One Thing” for all agents, but especially beginners. Get your business habits off to a solid start by reading this book.

Find it at ThriftBooks.com and Amazon.com.

“The High 5 Habit: Take Control of Your Life with One Simple Habit,” Mel Robbins

Ms. Robbins’ publisher begins the explanation of her latest work thus:

“In this book, Mel teaches you how to start high fiving the most important person in your life, the one who is staring back at you in the mirror: YOURSELF.”

In case you’re not familiar with Robbins, she is a former criminal defense attorney for Legal Aid in NYC, a CNN legal analyst, best-selling author, wife, and mom of three.

She has lived what she preaches and, apparently, it works.

Eighty-nine percent of Amazon reviewers award the book 5 stars. They rave about the encouragement they found within the book’s pages, especially welcome in present-day America.

Here are samples of a handful of Amazon reviewers:

• “Written with total abandon and enthusiasm, it’s easy to be drawn into these pages …”
• “The … version is now covered in notes and 4 days later I am already feeling huge benefits from implementing things in this book.”
• “This is not just fluff, it is practical, life changing tools, you can really use, and for me it is making a huge difference …”

If you find your mind cluttered with self-doubt, if you crave serving an eviction notice to the “nagging critic” in your head, if you’re unable to celebrate your success because you’re too focused on what might go wrong, you may want to curl up with this book.

Find “The High 5 Habit” at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
