Life Changing Books

[NeverlandClub23]

Anyone read any good life changing books? I love a good inspirational book and January is such a dismal month for me that I really need something uplifting to read.

I'd recommend "Freakonomics". I don't think it will change your life, but it might just change the way you think about life.

I've always liked "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. It's not inspirational but has very good advice.

Not life changing, but I really enjoyed the new Mitch Albom book "One More Day". I cried. It's an easy read and an interesting premise. The main character is given one more day with his mom.

How about the Left Behind books by Jerry B Jenkins? They are great books.

 

[Cindy B]

I'd recommend "Freakonomics". I don't think it will change your life, but it might just change the way you think about life.

My husband likes this book. He has it on his Ipod.

Why Bad Things Happen to good People by Rabbi Harold Kushner... Yes ,he is Jewish but this is not a *Jewish* book..It really makes you look at things in a different way.

The five people you meet in heaven.

What's happening to me?

Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a good one too!


The book I remember having the most profound influence on me was Mister God, This is Anna by Fynn. It's not overly religious and it's actually written for young readers (young adult maybe)...but it was really enlightening for me.

The five people you meet in heaven.

I second this!

But inspirational... Tuesdays with Maurie again by Mitch Albom yep I just love this author!

A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson was life altering for me. Changed the way I think about everything.

Spiritual Economics by Eric Butterworth probably the single best book I've ever read about Spirituality and money.

The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman - or really anything by Millman

Divine Intuition - A guide to Creating a Life you Love by Lynn A. Robinson

The Artist Way - A spiritual path to higher creativity - Julie Cameron

The Impersonal Life - anonymous

The Tao of Pooh Benjamin Hoffman

Laws of Love by Margaret Pounders

All of these are books that I have loved and find myself going back to frequently. Hope that you'll find one that you'll like!

Foolproofing your life
It is an excellent self help book

Thanks everyone for the responses! I feel like I'm kind of in a ball of confusion in my life right now and will definitely be checking out some of these books to get my life back on track and maybe bring some clarity to it all! Thanks again!

The Bible has changed my life.

 

[billythefish]

George Orwell's 1984.

There are so many parralels to what's going on in the world today, it's frightening.

I have to add to this, a book I've just finished;
Carl Jung - Modern Man in Search of a Soul.

It's the only book I've ever read that's made me question my atheism.

The Purpose Driven Life is thought provocing. But the Bible is the only life changing book I've read.

The Purpose Driven Life is thought provocing. But the Bible is the only life changing book I've read.

I'm glad someone enjoyed it. It disgusted me and don't get me started on the author.

Yeeesh, am I the only one who just did get into The Five People You Meet in Heaven?? I finished it and said, "Ooooooookay."

For me, the Bible was and is a life changing book.

I just bought, It's All In Your Head (The 8 Essential Secrets to Living a Life Without Regrets).

I like a good self-help book now and then, and this one just jumped out at me. I haven't started reading it yet, so I can't say much about it. I hope it's good!

Like other people have mentioned, I also enjoyed Freakonomics. Very interesting!
