How companies use this list.

The best motivational reading for a team is practical and short enough to finish. The 24 titles below cover habits, grit, mindset, discipline and purpose, and they suit a sales kickoff, a wellness month, a new-year goal-setting session or a gift to every employee. Several are quick reads that a team can discuss in a single sitting, and the rest reward a few weeks of reading with a discussion at the end of each section.

Each card shows its price per copy at 25 and at 100 copies from our live catalog. Volume pricing applies on its own as your quantity grows, up to 51% off list at 1,000 or more copies, and a written quote holds for 30 days. We take purchase orders, and we can ship to one office or mail a copy to every remote employee's home.

For a reading group, our company book club guide covers how to schedule it and what to ask, and a specialist can match a title to your audience.
