Old Book vs. New
I'm in such a dilemma for a while which books to study. Time tested material from 1900's seems more legit to me because after the popularity of The Secret too many so called "gurus" popped up and they have no idea what they are talking about.
When I realized that, I understood their e-mail bulletins, news about their next books and next seminars which claims it will expose the great "secret" will never end. And I'll be looking for the next stuff they are selling to learn the "secret" to "change my life" - Then I decided to stick with several books and study & apply the principles of them till I get results.
However, I can not help if I'm missing anything. I recently bought a brand new book Compass Of The Soul - Lynn Robinson (at least its new in my country) but its like a rehash of Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life and Shakti Gawain's Creative Visualization which are published on 70s and 80s.
Some people saying that Think & Grow Rich and Magic Of Thinking Big are too old - and there are books out there which surpassed them. Honestly I couldn't find those books which surpassed the classics.
Even Maximum Achievement from Brian Tracy is a combination of Think & Grow Rich, Write Down And Make It Happen, It Works, How To Win Friends And Influence People, How To Stop Worrying And Start Living, and The Master Key System.
I'd like to hear your opinions. I'm a bit upset myself of becoming a book collector... Some people buy one book and read it over & over and it change their lives. I was just reading one book after another. Which books you guys sticking with and get measurable results in any area of your life?
