Since I was a child, I've loved books and I feel really sorry for all people who don't read - they have no idea how much they're missing. No matter if you read some relaxing literature or psychological book, reading always brings just positive things - our vocabulary is expanding, our concentration is better, we can get rid of stress ... And if you choose the right book, it can completely change your life attitude. It may be pretty hard to find a book like this - that's why I made a list of few book that affected me the most and which you should read too :)
The Four Agreements
The Four Agreements are based on philosphy of rhe Toltecs. They are the agreements we conclude with ourselves. Some of them destroy us, disturb and complicate our lifes. Four agreements and the fifht agreement break those old agreements and return naturalness to us. By observing these principles we can start enjoying our life without the prejudices which other people or our past experience learned us. The four agreements are simple: Be impeccable with your word. Don’t take anything personally. Don’t make assumptions. Always do your best ... All those agreements are described in the book and also there are some ways or methods how to use them in real life. The fifth agreement is a bit more complicated: "Be skeptical and listen for the truth." Basically it contest everything you have ever belived in ...
Books by Robert Fulghum
When I was reading a book by Robert Fulghum for the first time, I fell in love after few lines and nobody was able to break me away for hours. There are books which are somewhow special, you can#t even describe how, but you feel how they enrich you with every word you read. You're able to read them for hours and you and anytime you open the book on random page, it makes you smile. I've read one novel by R. Fulghum (Hold me fast love me slow) and four books of short stories. They are stories from the writer's life with some reasoning or just funny point. The beauty of his books is in the fact, that altough the writter is an old man now, he still thinks like a child - with all the pure joy of small things, the enthusiasm and joy of mischief ...
Who Will Cry When You Die
The first book by Robert Sharma that I've read, was "The monk who sold his ferrari". That book is full of interesting thoughts too ... but I was quite disappointed by the style in which the book was written. There is no story, I was looking forward to, it's basically about a lawyer who used to live stressfull life and who went to India to find peace. Then he comes back home and he shares what he learned with his former colleague. There are many things to think about and I thiunk that the book enriched me somehow .. but it's written in a bit "injecting" style - all the "you have to do it this way" and "only this way you wil ..." and I don't really like this style.
"Who will cry when you die" is absolutely different type of book. There are 100 short stories with motivational advices and practical ideas how to improve the quality of your life. Everyone can find something that will help them and personally it changed my opinion about many things. I was reading the book every day righ before I woke up and before I went to school, and I had much better mood all day long.
