Books to Read This Summer

With articles on every topic imaginable, the internet is chock full of useful information to help you get ahead and stay there in every aspect of your life. While this is convenient, sometimes it’s nice to have streamlined information take you on a journey of self-discovery, as opposed to mindlessly clicking from topic to topic. Books are a remarkable way to self improve, but there are so many out there that sometimes it’s hard to tell which ones are worth reading. These books are the perfect reads to get your mind set on success. They’re also light enough to read whilst lounging on the beach, whether it be Beury or Atlantic City.

1. How to Win Friends and Influence People

An oldie but a goodie, this classic written by Dale Carnegie in 1936 will take you to the next level of interpersonal communication. Easy to follow and expertly written, you’ll find yourself referring back to Carnegie’s advice well after you’ve turned the last page.

2. If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You

Some may know Kelly Cutrone for her appearances on hit TV shows, The Hills and America’s Next Top Model, but the fashion world knows her as the relentless feminist who has built her PR agency, People’s Revolution, from the ground up. Her book gives priceless advice on everything from securing a mentor to surviving, and eventually thriving, in Manhattan with nothing but your YSL jeans and a sparkling personality.

3. The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun

Enriching yet hilarious, this page-turner will have you laughing, crying, and everything in between. By the end of this literary journey, you’ll feel like you’ve made a new friend in author Gretchen Rubin, and you’ll have a refreshing outlook on life and how you live it.
