The Keys by D.J. Khaled
5.0

In The Keys Snapchat sensation DJ Khaled shares his 'keys to more success.' It turns out getting at least 2 haircuts per week is just as important as working on your craft. Some of the most memorable quotes from the book:

- "When everybody's in a positive mood and everybody's just having a good time, that's called catching a vibe. Everyone who comes to my home knows about the vibe. Look in my fridge: There are delicious juices and smoothies. I have healthy snacks all over my house for everyone, the chef will cook up whatever you want, and you can sit by the fire drinking Ciroc or D'Usse or some Belaire and relax."

- "You can see my competitive spirit manifest itself in so many aspects of my career. From my collaborations to my sneaker collection - you can see testaments to my "Go harder" philosophy. If "they" say I can't get summer Jordan 3s, then I'll make sure to get summer Jordan 3s. And don't even get me started on the Eminem 4s."

- "I'm a boss, so I don't ever get to just be the artist. Other artists might get to imagine themselves floating in outer space, making music, and that's beautiful, but I know what it takes for the whole team to take product to the next level."

- "Don't invest all your energy in one place. It's like financial investments - spread it around. Secure all types of bags. More rooms equals more success, so be kind to the people around you, like your team, and support them and let them cook, too."

- "If you want to be treated like a boss, you've got to look the part. Get a fresh cut twice a week. In fact, get three haircuts."

- "People always ask me why I smell so good, and the answer is Palmer's cocoa butter. I don't wear cologne."

- "So get a fresh cut twice a week and definitely before an executive decision. And when you're ready and you graduate to the next level, get a pedicure and a manicure once a week, too."

- "A lot of us don't have a lot of pillows. I didn't have a lot of pillows growing up. Let me tell you, I had no pillows when I slept in that Honda. Plus, when I got an apartment all I had was my music, and I had no pillows. I would have my one sheet and I'd rest my head on records. I don't recommend it. So you know one of the first things I did when the wire hit was get a couple of pillows. Everyone has a different idea of luxury when they first get a little money. One person might only wear brand-new sweat socks every single day. Another might eat Cheesecake Factory for every meal for like a month. Me, I got a lot of pillows, so I'm grateful for all of them . . . Pillows are like the angels of my bedroom."
