Which book we may read for change our life positively?

Post by Nancykhan »

It is not possible to read all the books publishing in the world. So we must cut our reading list in our busy life. I want list of some best book that I may read for my improvement or some best book I should read.

I don't ordinarily recomend books for this purpose, however; I just read a new book by Susan Ann Langford called Bringing Down Goliath, Based on a true Story. A friend of mine recomended it to me and I loved it. It is a sad story but also very uplifting and inspirational. The protaganist, Mercy Grant, is someone that I can look-up to. What this women went through and what she was able to accomplish in her life was just amazing.

I found the book on amazon as a kindle and I have heard it will be out on Amazon in trade paperback soon.

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did and find it as informative. Anyone who wonders why our country is in the state it is in, should really read this book.

The Monk who sold his Ferrari by Robin Sharma may be a good beginning, if you want to read books for motivation. Though, I believe, if you wish to begin a reading habit, opt for a funny, light book, that may amuse you, and at the same time, broaden your outlook. Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard by Kiran Desai, can provide a good start.

I am new to this web site. So, hello everybody. I just read The Law Of Attraction by John Richlove. I found it to be redundent and using of the word "manifest" way too often.
He also has typos of using little letters instead of capital letters on the LOA. He misspells many words, also.
He was not telling the reader anything new.
I give this book two stars.

I suggest the non-fictional book Start by Jon Acuff. It has a positive message about everyone being able to learn, work through, master, and later guide others through their desired career.

Well I think I had a lot of change in my thought process after reading'Only love is Real'
What is the most special thing I did today- I was MYSELF. Happy and in love and unapologetically myself.

How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

This is a very easy and fun book to read. The author tells of many personal incidents and stories in which the difference between little details can make an enormous difference in how people see you and react to you.

It was published in 1936 but what it has to say is just as relevant today. I would encourage you to read it. It is light reading but very profound in wisdom and helpful in advice.

I think true stories are probably the kinds of books you want to read to change your life positively. Those help because someone actually lived through what you are reading instead of someone holed up in her bedroom thinking up a story.

I recommend 10% Happier by Dan Harris. He takes concepts that may turn off many people and filters it down to something that is digestible for mainstream culture. Inspiring without being ridiculous or pretentious.
