  1. How to Win Friends & Influence people by Dale Carnegie.
  2. 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell.
  3. Become what you are by Alan Watts.
  4. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.
  5. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
  6. The New Psychocybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Dan Kennedy.
  7. The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.
  8. Cultivate an Unshakable Character by Jim Rohn.
  9. As a Man Thinketh by James Allen.
  10. Emerson: Essays and Lectures by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

The above are some of the generic recommendations by people well versed in their field.

If you want to learn to talk in an elegant way, and be perceived as having wisdom above your years, the best way is to find books written by those same people or by other experts.

Another way to seem wise in a very elegant way is to memorize some deep and meaningful quotes, maybe even by those same experts.

People well versed in their field, the ones with a lot of years of experience on their back, and those that are often defending/talking about their discoveries or experiences are your best source.

Find books written by people that have that passion and obsession about their subject.

Pick the subjects you enjoy.

And then just read.
