Every hurdle, every setback, every moment where you'd expect a sob story, Jorge throws down the gauntlet. He calls these moments "burn zones" – intense stretches that push you to your limits, but ultimately make you stronger.

I especially like fiction books, so I HAVE to read them whether they're based on genuine events or true stories in general. Thank you so much for the recommendations! For this reason, I believe I will immediately add The Sword Swallower and a Chico Kid to my TBR list! (To be honest, I'm adding them all, but that one will go on top of the list.

I've read Natural Anxiety and Stress Relief: A Useful Guide. It is jam-packed with incredible techniques to promote wellbeing and ease tension and anxiety. Right now, I'm reading Relentless. I already adore it.

This is a fantastic reading list. The books here are top-notch and have great quality. I'll start reading the ones I've not read before. Thank you.

I have seen some titles that I'm interested in. I will check them out.

How do I sign up for the mentoring program? I have read several books on the list, including In It Together and The Unfakeable Code, and enjoyed them thoroughly while learning a lot.

I'm ready to start reading them because they would be very helpful. Thank you so much for your recommendation.

It looks like a really good reading list. I will check out he ones I have not read, I'm sure they will like them.

I have perused multiple of the books thus far, and each one was an incredible experience to read.

Turns out, I have read some of this books. The latest one being the Smartest person in the room by Christian Espinosa. I loved it

So it is not required that you read all of the following books, especially not in any specific timeframe, but I do highly recommend that you add them all to your to-read list anyway.

Many of them are available as audiobooks, so you can easily listen to them while laying in bed at night before you fall asleep, or while working our in the gym, or driving. (Tip, for those book currently unavailable in audiobook, there's a good chance I'll be hiring talent to get paid well to record the audiobook version, so that's all the more reason to read it!)

The Sword Swallower and a Chico Kid (Fiction Book!)
by Gary Robinson
This is a great choice for those who love fun fiction books. I include it because it's based loosely on real events and the methods used to become a sword swallower (explained in detail in the book) can be used to achieve all sorts of similarly incredible goals and feats. It shows the power of all sorts of values and habits such as perseverance and progressive overload.

For the Indebted Mentee

If you are in debt, then this a must-read for you: Debt Cleanse: How To Settle Your Unaffordable Debts for Pennies on the Dollar (And Not Pay Some At All)
by Jorge P. Newbery


For the Spanish Mentee

If you speak Spanish, then the best book I can recommend to you is Zonas de quema: Cómo jugar las malas manos de la vida by Jorge P. Newbery. I read the English version ("Burn Zones") years ago, and it was one of the most helpful books I have ever read in my life. I definitely don't think I'd be as successful as I am if I hadn't read it. Jorge P. Newbery is one of my role models, and I still follow him closely on social media even now to this day.

Thanks for the recommendation, the books sound interesting!

I have read a handful of this books and I vividly remember reading Burning Zones when I lost everything and how it seemed like the author was just speaking to me

Hey. I just bought this book and I'm looking forward to read others from this list after I finished it.

Also, I've read two of this books already. And I just bought another one.

Thanks for this list! I've already read the Spanish version of "Burn Zones" by Jorge P Newbery, and I hope to read most of the rest of the books in the list. The only problem is the books cost considerably much in my country's currency, but I'll try my best.
