What books will give me the motivation to reach full potential in life

I want to get as much as possible from life, reaching greater and greater heights. What books can give me the motivation to work, study and develop further and further despite being tired or something else. What books can help me establish this sort of mindset?

Thus Spoke Zarathustra

If you need to read a book to get into this sort of mindset you're already not gonna make it.

Plutarch's parallel lives
Diogenes laertius's lives and opinions of eminent philosophers
Samuel Johnson's lives of the most eminent English poets

Do biographies of famous people can actually help or it is just a meme?

Machiavelli

They really do depending
Read a few and see for yourself. If nothing else, you know more about an important figure.

I recommend Julian Jackson's "De Gaulle"

The Bible

It is inspiring to see what great men have accomplished and what they had to overcome

Motivation is fleeting though, OP. It helps with the beginning of a thing, but does not fuel the continued necessity of finishing the thing. That takes discipline, and as such you should read books about discipline and habits. It sounds like you are already "inspired" and "motivated." You just need the push to finish it. May I suggest The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg

Reading books on discipline will not make you disciplined. OP should join the army or at least reserves. Countries with mandatory service have it right.

Is it possible though to become an ambitious person through reading

No reading usually alleviates vices rather than exacerbate them

kek

Yukio Mishima could help. For the peak physical body at least.

naw, hes already motivated, if hes lookin for it. He means a guide

Don't do things for yourself. Do things for God. You glorify him and he glorifies you.
Read the Bible.

Pordan Jeterson - 12 rules for life

OP probably wants to achieve something here, not in afterlife

Tao Te Ching

The afterlife is the main aim, but by avoiding sin and making yourself virtuous also makes you achieve things here.

No book can do that.
And you are obviously incredibly insincere in your beliefs, if you need "motivation" to do the thinks you say you want, you really don't want them.

Either start, or give up. But "getting motivated to start" is a thing for people who aren't ever gonna make it.

If he was motivated he'd already be doing it instead of looking for some catalyst (a book in this case) to set him off.

Read any comprehensive biography of Sir Richard Francis Burton, and then read his literature.

I think that person have to build basis to move forward. Firstly, a person learn how to study and then use this knowledge actually studying serious and complicated things.
As I understand, OP already started but different obstacles drain motivation.
However,
>if you need "motivation" to do the thinks you say you want, you really don't want them.
is interesting point and possible thing.

>I think that person have to build basis to move forward.
No, that is an excuse to never start.
If you truly want to do something, start doing it.
If the obstacles in your place ruin your motivation you have to face the harsh truth that you never really wanted to do that thing in the first place.

There is absolutely no point in trying to find the "best" way to do something.
If you want to build a habit of going for a run twice a week you don't start by shopping for the best running shoes, that is just an excuse you tell yourself, because you are attracted to the "aesthetics" of being a decent runner, but putting in the hard work is too much for you. That way you can pretend you are doing something productive towards your goal, without actually putting in any effort.
Just start and if you fall flat on your nose get up and try again.

The ego and its own
