Checkout The 5 Must Read Personal Development Books of 2014.

1. The Promise of a Pencil: How an Ordinary Person Can Create Extraordinary Change – Adam Braun

The-Promise-of-a-Pencil-CoverAdam Braun, an aspiring Wall Street investor turns humanitarian when a moving encounter while traveling India reveals his purpose in life. He meets a young boy and asks what would that boy like most, if he could have anything in the world. The boy’s response – ‘A Pencil’. That answer is what built over 200 schools for underprivileged children all over the world, starting with just $25 and a desire for change.

The Promise of a Pencil journals the steps Braun takes to follow his calling and in return you learn how to use those lessons to lead a significant and successful life. What I loved most about this book was not only the message printed in it but that all proceeds go back into the Promise of a Pencil organization.
