You can't control what happens tomorrow. But you can prepare for it today.

Andreessen Horowitz cofounder Ben Horowitz writes about the importance of making difficult decisions, and how to do so effectively.

4. Bigger, Better, Bolder by Jennifer Cohen

Fortune favors the bold, as they say. It's why bold people have more satisfying relationships, higher self esteem, and greater career success. But motivational coach Jennifer Cohen says they're not part of an exclusive club: Boldness is a skill that can be developed, and in this book, she explains how. She reveals how bold people work to overcome their fears now, and gives tactical tools to develop the bold habits that'll open doors for you tomorrow. Buy it here.

5. You are Radically Loved by Rosie Acosta

BIZ Experiencess drive themselves so hard, they rarely step back to take care of themselves. But they must — and Rosie Acosta's book shows them how. Acosta is the award-wining host of the Radically Loved podcast, who discovered wellness and meditation after a rough upbringing in East L.A. in the nineties. Now, with this easy and accessible guide, she shows everyone how to care for themselves, and to become the person they were meant to be. Buy it here.

6. The Third Door by Alex Banayan

How did the world's most successful people break through? That's what Alex Banayan set out to discover as a teenager — and after convincing the likes of Bill Gates and Lady Gaga to sit down and explain it to him, he shared the answer in this best-selling book. It is this: They all took "the third door" — which is to say, the path that nobody else saw available, and that required more grit and determination than most other people have. Then Banayan explains how to find it yourself. Buy it here.
