7 Books That Could Change Your Life (Especially If You're a Student)

About this video

Weston and her husband Dorian recommend seven books they believe will transform readers’ lives, particularly for students. They discuss a mix of self-help, philosophical, and fiction titles, explaining why each book offers valuable insights for personal growth and development across different life stages.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that ‘The Last Lecture’ by Randy Pausch is a must-read for everyone, especially students, due to its moving life lessons from a dying professor’s commencement speech
• Weston recommends ‘The Bullet Journal Method’ as an exceptional organizational system and notes the book is more comprehensive than the free website
• Weston emphasizes that Dorian recommends the Stephen Mitchell translation of ‘Tao Te Ching’ specifically, as most other translations are poor quality, and describes it as a philosophical operating system for life rather than a religious text
• Weston suggests ‘The 4-Hour Workweek’ teaches students to work smarter by breaking down large problems, and ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ remains universally important for understanding people and social dynamics
