A common question I hear in our KSP Book Club from parents is that- “I am not a reader- is that why my child is not inspired to pick up a book too?”
The honest answer to that is your child can still be a reader even if you are not one, but yes- your reading habits will definitely influence your child’s reading habits. And that’s impetus enough for you to pick up a book today!
Don’t worry- the best books for your kids, we have it all sorted in our KSP Book Club subscription programme. Click below to read more about it.
And now for us, parents. Below is a list that I have found really hard to zero in on, from my collection, but these are the absolute favourites when it comes to books on self-help and improvement.
And if you are a budding entrepreneur, then without a doubt, you must get into the habit of books- be it any format (audiobook, e-book or hard copy) to get into the minds of the smartest people, and get their perspectives to problems and situations that will come in super handy in your life.
These are aimed at entrepreneurs, but even people who don’t run a business or a brand, who just want to be more productive, improve their daily outing at their workplace, and get clarity on their goals in life- be it short term or long-term, personal or professional goals, will find this useful.

Today I list 5 books that helped shape me along my entrepreneurial journey. Books have always been my go-to place when I need some time off, and I need clarity in what I am doing. These books, in more ways than one have inspired me and changed my perspective.
1. The Hard Thing About Hard Things
While most books tell you how not to mess things up, this one teaches how to pick up from where you messed up and rise again!
2. Atomic Habits
One book that you will find in every recco- and totally worth it! From dissecting the smallest of our habits and intentions behind them to finding the right initiative to kickstart a new habit and ditch a bad one, this book is the bible of habits. My daughters are loving it now!
3. Essentialism
We often feel overwhelmed by the number if things we need to do, but how often do we realise that by eliminating the non-essentials the list boils down to a very do-able and shorter version? Know where to say NO- that’s what this book taught me.
4. The Power Of Habits- by Charles Duhigg
Can’t recommend this book enough for anyone looking to streamline their habits and understand why that plays a HUGE role in shaping who we are. As someone who is a strong believer in habits and routines myself, this book is an absolute must-read
5. Shoe Dog by Phil Knight
One thing I love to read about is the journey of successful people and brands. How they started, where they failed, how they rose again and what made them who they are, This inspiring story of Nike is sitting on top of my shelf!
