Here are the top 10 most recommended MLM books (listed in random order) based on question asked to other 800 leaders on MLM Nation's network marketing podcast.

Outline: Recommended Books on MLM

#1 Amazon Best Selling Book on Network Marketing since 2022

This hasn't made the Top 10 yet but I'm honored that the #1 best selling MLM book on Amazon for network marketing for 2022 has been The Consistency Pill

Consistency Pill book held up by author, Simon Chan

Asides from my book on MLM, below are the Top 10 most recommended books on network marketing by 800+ top earners that have been interviewed on MLM Nation podcast

This Top 10 list was hard to put to together since there are so many good MLM books that’ll help you grow your business.

I was tempted to make it 11 books but I knew once I did that, I’d then add another 4 to make it 15… and then the next you know it’ll be 20… or 25 or 50!

And then the list would be so long that it’ll just create more overwhelm.

So I wanted to keep it simple and only 10 books.

Criteria For Top Network Marketing Books

There were 3 criteria that I chose

1) The MLM book was a game changer that I personally felt helped me grow a million dollar business with over 300,000 reps

2) The book on MLM has been one of the most recommended books out of 800+ episodes on MLM Nation podcast

3) It has been mentioned by many of my coaching clients as a book that helped them grow their business

Why These Network Marketing Books Are Important

I separated these books into general business ones and specific books on MLM

General Business Books that Apply to MLM

1) Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
This is the #1 most recommended book by entrepreneurs.

It’s a little hard to read and it took me 3 times to finally starting to get it.

Now it’s become a classic that I reread every year.

2) How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
This was one of the top 5 most influential books that I’ve read in my life and taught me to work smart instead of working hard.

It’s a must read and especially for a shy quiet Asian kid like me.

3) Compound Effect by Darren Hardy
One of the most recommended books by guests featured on MLM Nation Podcast.

Everything counts!

We may not see our results immediately but over time every activity we do grows exponentially. (Applies to both good and bad)

I teach my boys the Compound Effect everyday.

4) 21 Irrefutable Laws Of Leadership by John Maxwell
The classic book on Leadership.

You know a book is good when it becomes a book you review once a year to make sure you stay on top of your game.

Books on Network Marketing

5) Your First Year in Network Marketing by Mark Yarnall
This book on network marketing saved me when I started my journey. It’s a little dated but many of the timeless principles still apply especially the “Rejection Torpedo”

6) Mach 2 With Your Hair On Fire by Richard Bliss Brooke
Inspiring story and goes in depth of what most distributors fail to do; they don’t have a mental movie of their life.

A game changing book if you apply it

7) Building An Empire by Brian Carruthers
A complete A to Z list of how to recruit and train your team.

A timeless MLM book.

Network Marketing book by Jordan Adler titled Beach Money. This is one of the most recommended MLM books

8) Beach Money by Jordan Adler
Awesome title for an amazing book on MLM. Inspiring and educational.

Towards the end of this MLM book, the author, Jordan Adler gives the best explanation of MLM that I’ve ever heard of by using an analogy with vending machines and distribution centers

9) Game of Networking by Rob Sperry
A relatively new book on MLM but is a classic already.

It’s basically “How to Win Friends and Influence People” but customized for direct selling professionals.

Eric Worres Go Pro is one of the best network marketing books. Highly recommended MLM book by leaders

10) Go Pro by Eric Worre
The #1 most recommended network marketing book by guests on MLM Nation Podcast.

Worre’s 7 steps make it simple to read and follow.
