I have a treat for you today, I want to give you a little bit of insight into my library. I've got a bunch of books up here and I've got another shelf over there with more books.

And the reason why I am doing this is because I want to share with you some of the books that have had a really big impact on my life.

I would like to be able to say okay, these are the books that I have the biggest impact on my life. I don't think that way, I have a hard time choosing favorites and quite frankly, I love a lot of things. My taste in music, for example is very eclectic.

So when it comes to books, it's the same thing, I couldn't decide on five or ten so I just took like fifteen. I won’t go into many details, but I will just whet your APPETITE a little bit. Okay, so here's a few to start with.
Books on Mind and Spirit
Think and Grow Rich
One of them is Think and Grow Rich. I have a rather new edition, I don’t have the old edition, but the title says it all. And this is one of the books that is really, one of the earliest books in PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT that really taught people how to think and how to access the resources that we have inside ourselves. (Read Think and Grow Rich)

As a Man Thinketh
Now the next one I have on my list is As a Man Thinketh. It's not on this list here, I do have my Kindle and I have been downloading and I have a lot of these books on my Kindle. So As a Man Thinketh is really just gold when it comes to setting your MIND right and you know, you become what you think about. That's really the basics of it. It's similar to Think and Grow Rich, but it's kind of an easy read, it's very short and easy to assimilate. (Read As a Man Thinketh)

The Power of Now
The other one that I have you on my list is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Now Eckhart Tolle, he showed up on Oprah TV explaining a lot of this and this is one of the things that really pushed his book forward. But even without Oprah, you will find that he really landed on a really important secret here and that is the ability to be present detaches us so much from the confusion that comes in and just ruins our lives, and fear of the future, remorse over the past. Anyways, a great read. (Read The Power of Now)

Books on Communication, Relationships, and Love
The next ones is actually on relationships more than the first ones. The first ones are more, I guess on spirituality.
Men are From Mars and Women are From Venus
Men are From Mars and Women are From Venus changed my life in that it just helped me to relax about a lot of issues between me and women and my wife,
