Early last year I decided to expend my knowledge and start reading self help books. I guess one reason for doing so, was as I commute to work by bus and the subway and there is no better way of doing so other than by reading a book making your journey to work educational and enjoyable. Another reason for doing so, is that I find it difficult sometime and I guess in speaking for many other people, is to keep motivated and have a positive attitude on a daily basis after experiencing the daily life obstacles that one has to face.
One of the first book that I read was “The Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale considered to be a classic and read by millions of people all over the world. I actually got to know about this book by reading first Donald Trump Book “How To Get Rich” wherein one of the chapters he indicated that one way of keeping a positive attitudes is by reading self help books and he recommended to his readers to read “The Power of Positive Thinking”. I took Mr. Trump advise and read the book and liked it. This book gave me some great ideas on how to keep positive attitude and look at life differently. Norman Vincent Pearl strongly believes that by praying daily you will have a better attitude in life and a better way of keeping a positive attitude.
After reading the "Power of Positive Thinking", I carried on and read over 10 books by different authors such as Dale Carneige, Napolen Hill, Eckhart Toole, Richard St. John, Stepehen M Pollan and others. I can say now, with confidence, that reading these books helped me to assess some difficult scenarios that I faced last year both in my private life and work and helped me to resolve these issues with great success.
I also learned a lot of key words from these books that I try to think of them often and adopted them. For example, For success you need to go the extra mile, attitude is more important than facts, you can if you think you can, its all in your head, keep on believing in yourself and the power of now.
Once you read a self help book, it is hard to remember every single point made, but if you keep and try to remember the basics and keep on reading more of these books eventually these ideas can become a second nature to you and a practical way in solving problems and keeping a positive attitude.
I therefore, strongly recommend for you to pick up any self help book that you can get either from the local library or book store and read it. Because I can assure you that it will make the difference for you in living a better life for yourself and to the people that surrounds you.
