Books that have changed your life....

Lets make a list of those fabulous bokos that have touched us the most......

My top three:

The Bible
The Secret

Great idea...
1) The Science of Getting Rich (Wallace Wattles) - this is the book that the author of The Secret based some of the writing on.
1) Think and Grow Rich (Napolean Hill)
2) The Law of Attraction (Ester Hicks)
3) Body for Life (Bill)
4) Eating for Life (Bill)
5) The Attractor Factor (Joe Vitale)
6) Awaken the Giant Within (Anthony Robbins)

My books lean towards Financial success because that is kinda how I got introduced to personal development and it has paid off. However, the principals in these books are applicable in all aspects of life.

One of my goals for this transformation is to familarize myself more with the Bible.

Lets make it happen.

It's 94 pages with large print. There are drawings on every other page. It's about the size of two portions of protein and it changed my life. It's name is; Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson, M.D. It's a little book about change, imagine that!

When I was dating one very good book was 'He's Just Not That Into You.' I finally found my prince once I stopped wasting my time with frogs!!

I read a ton of great books many years ago by Og Mandino and I am re-reading them again. My favorite one of his was 'The Christ Commission.'

I am currently reading The Four Agreements because Denise T suggested it and I picked up Og Mandino's Secrets for success & Happiness also when I was at the library.

Body for Life and EFL have also been imporant books to me!

This one I bought for all my gal pals for Christmas; it helped me to train for and run a half marathon, host a wine tasting, and many other things so I can earn the badge! It was begun by a gal who died 9/11; her sisters finished it for her: Amazon.com: You Can Do It!: The Merit Badge Handbook for Grown-Up Girls: Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas, Vaughn Catuzzi Lohec, Dara Catuzzi Near: Books

Reading this now; already impacted me greatly: Amazon.com: The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, A Toltec Wisdom Book: Don Miguel Ruiz: Books

Highly recommend this one to all you men; it's improved my marriage greatly and I didn't even read it! Amazon.com: Every Man's Marriage: An Every Man's Guide to Winning the Heart of a Woman (previously released as Every Woman's Desire): Stephen Arterburn, Fred Stoeker, Mike Yorkey: Books
