This book takes you on a journey of understanding that you should not take things too personally.

It encourages you to not perseverate so much about what your feelings are as this helps you to see the “bigger picture”.

This was actually written by a psychiatrist and his daughter, which makes for a more interesting read!

3. David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell

This book helps you to understand that nothing is too big for you to handle.

It shares with the reader the ability to see things as they are, and not focus on the difficulties or circumstances, and look inward to see the “giant” within.

When a person has emotional intelligence, they can understand how important they are to the world around them.

They can define their paths in life by being “aware” of the way they feel about things that are happening or have happened in their lives.

This is a popular book that details the account of how Chris Gardner experienced his rags to riches story.

7. The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks

This book talks about the many teachings of Abraham in the Bible.

It shows within its beautifully written pages the things that we bring to ourselves from the Law of Attraction – whether or not they be warranted.

One of the most important things that you will learn is the “Omnipresent Laws”, as well as how to make these particular laws work for you.

This book is very engaging!

Another one of Gladwell’s books that captures the human spirit by assisting the reader in understanding true and lasting success.

This book inspires you to keep going, even when you have become successful.

This is so you can stay on the road to greatness.

In its interestingly written manner, it shows that there are things among great and successful people that we don’t really pay attention to.

He helps the reader to understand that it is not always the person’s level of intelligence or their passion that drives them to win.

This book takes you on an emotional journey that helps you understand the “lion within”.

Dr. Thomas teaches you that your thoughts create your success; or the lack thereof.

This is an all-time favorite because it is my book!

This book helps the reader to understand that you should not wait until later to complete your goals or a task because often, ALL YOU HAVE IS NOW!

The book title says it all.

It will assist you in understanding that when a person says they are going to do something, yet they procrastinate, they have become a liar.

This is especially true if they had a small window of opportunity and their desire to want to “do it later” caused it to pass them by.

It should help you consider to not take on more than they can handle, but it also encourages you to understand that when they give their all on one thing at a time, their “gifts” that they have inside of them will show the world that they are phenomenal!
