More inspirational books needed!
Hi all,
I can't remember how I found this forum but it's really helped me a lot this year! I found out about The Answer from here, and it's one of the greatest books I've ever read.
Anyway, I am starting to realise that harnessing the power of the subconcious is pretty powerful stuff. So where do I go next? What other books should we be reading to open up our subconciousnesses?
The Answer was great. It's obviously been written for busy executives, so it does a really good job of explaining the law of attraction. Actually I found out I was actually doing some of what it suggested already, but it sure as hell explained why I was having quite good success with my small business already.
The Secret is strange. It has some fabulous advice, but for such a popular book I thought the editing sucked. I really do doubt that the average person will believe much of it, even though I know that some of it really does work. The health chapter for example is full of potential, but you're far better off reading the MindBody Prescription by Dr Sarno, which does a brilliant job of explaining how to use the subconcious to cure health problems. There are dozens of people I know whose life would change if they read the MindBody Prescription, but sadly if I recommended it to them they would think I am some kind of crazy fool.
I've been reading Think And Grow Rich. Again, a great book, but sadly pretty dated. It's a film camera in a digital world.
The 4 Hour Work Week was quite good, but working in IT I already know about the outsourcing and stuff.
Hypnotic Writing is quite good - I've realised I'm good at writing pre-sales pages, so in time I'll probably make a good clickbank affiliate. I used to be a scientist and technical writer, so I really have to try writing less dull, robotic stuff!
Another thing I've been doing is memorising Chinese characters. I don't know if it's coincidence but I feel that it really has opened up whole areas of my brain that as a Westerner I wasn't using before.
