Do you want to read something that could potentially change your whole life? Then read on for my top 10 best books to read if you want to make changes. I have read all of these books and many more that I had to choose from, which was tricky! I have linked all the titles through to Amazon for ease if you wanted to purchase any of them or read more about them, that's the only reason for linking to Amazon, not because I think they are the best place to buy from! These are not in any particular order by the way, they are all good (in my opinion) but some will suit some more than others...
1. If you want to redefine where you are going in life read...
This is a classic and I read it at a very uncertain point in my life. It gave me the clarity of thought that I needed and it gave me a way to find a clear path through all the myriad of choices and dead ends. I went away for a weekend on my own and rented a cottage in Devon for a weekend. I locked myself away with a whole host of books and resolved not to leave until I had got a plan for what I was going to do next. This book stood out above all the rest and inspired me to make the next steps. It also quotes my great great great (not sure how many) Grandfather Samuel Smiles who wrote 'Self-Help' the first British look at having a positive mental attitude, this is not why I love it though, to see that you will have to read it yourself!
2. If you want to bring more money into your life and enjoy meditation and a spiritual approach read...
This is a book I have read twice, highlighted and followed up with purchases of their meditation MP3's. If you are into the law of attraction this will help you to take things a stage further and really open up to the spiritual laws that sit behind this. It is channeled book by Sanaya's guide Orin. It contains some great exercises for you to follow and work through. Read this if you are remotely interested in the spiritual side of making money.
3. If you like a chatty tone and enjoy hearing from someone who has followed their own advice read....
4. If you want to discover a whole other pathway and a radical approach to life read...
A very interesting book that is the most personal Coelho has ever written. It is quite 'out there' so you need to be open minded and it's difficult to know how much is story and how much is 'real' but it makes for a mind expanding experience that can really allow you to think different and think bigger than ever before.
5. If you want to start a business and/or turn a business around read...
I would recommend this whole series in fact. I have read all of them and really enjoyed their practical advice and overall view of how hard it can be to set up in business and take on a quest to make lots of money.
6. If you want to learn more about the way the mind works and how you can use this to your advantage read...
I loved this combination of magic techniques, psychology and NLP. It gives you enormous insight into how we operate as humans and why we are influenced by certain things. If you want to learn more about why we do the things we do, learn a little about magic and a LOT about psychology then definitely have a read.
7. If you always wondered how the successful think read...
This classic is a must read if you want the insight into how the law of attraction has been around for eons (it is not named as this in the book but clearly it is about this) and how very successful people throughout history have used it to their advantage. This is a series of interviews essentially, learning the techniques of the greats.
8. If you have questions about life and death and what it all means read...
This is a beautiful series of books that many people have avoided because of the 'religious' title. I can assure you (if it puts you off), that this is not at all religious, in fact it is almost anti-religious in some ways. It is a work of philosophy that will blow your mind and you will want to read many times. I recommend starting with 'Conversations with God book 1' and working your way through. However, if you want just one of the series that will change your view on life and death completely then read Home with God, stunningly beautiful in every way.
9. If you want to be inspired after a loss or want to read a moving story read...
A spiritual story about a man whose daughter is missing, it is suspected that she has been murdered. Her father goes to the shack where they suspect that the murder may have taken place and he has a spiritual revelation that won't fail to move you to tears.
10. If you want to know more about the science and psychology of happiness and how it can be applied to your own life read...
A wonderful book on the science and psychology of happiness. It is an easy to read book with lots of insights into what Psychological studies have to say about happiness and how we can achieve it by following certain steps. The final chapter is a life affirming gem of an insight - if you read no other part of the book, read this last part on 'meaning and purpose'.
And now for the lucky extra book on the list!
11. If you want to be luckier read...
A look at the science and psychology of luck. Does luck really exist Are some people really more lucky than others? Its seems that yes, maybe some people are, there are reasons for this though, reasons that you can emulate and in turn become more lucky yourself. A book full of interesting examples and studies that will have you bursting to give it a go yourself!
Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? What are your favourite inspirational reads?
