Bookish thoughts of an ENFJ Giver who loves books with beautiful & mysterious covers.

The Prophet

The Prophet - Kahlil Gibran Whew, this was such an incredible and such a wonderful ride filled with so many different beautiful emotions. There aren't that many books that you can truly fall in love with, but, my friend, this book is definitely one of those books, for the author's reflections within it are nothing short of amazing. Some of them will make you shed tears of joy, some of them will make you smile, and some of them will remind you of your past memories, your present hopes, and your future dreams and desires. You'll definitely love it, for there's so much love, so much inspiration, so much knowledge, and so much wisdom in it, some of which you can truly learn from and some of which you can teach to others or share with others, the ones you care about and love. It's true that this book is short, but the author truly said and wrote everything he knew about faith, love, death, time, life, prayer, and many other vastly important things in all of his beautiful reflections. I strongly advise you that you get yourself a copy, read it with a peaceful mind, put it on your bookshelf, and read the author's truly timeless reflections every once in a while. I have no doubt that your life will change and transform in a truly beautiful way.

As a Man Thinketh

As a Man Thinketh - James Allen Incredible little book that teaches its readers about the importance of human thought, about the importance that human thought has on us as human beings, our health, on our bodies, and on our achievements in any areas or aspects of our lives we choose to be.

I have to say that I firmly believe in everything that's written in it, for I know that thoughts are truly powerful and that good thoughts eventually bring good results and attract good things into your life and bad thoughts eventually bring bad results and attracts bad things into your life.

That's why our thoughts have to be as pure as possible if we truly wish to attract success, prosperity, happiness, and remarkable achievements into our lives. For if our thoughts are not pure, we can't attract any of that.

What we do instead is invite anything and everything
that's bad for our minds into our lives,
and live a life that's never truly
been meant for us to live.

The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself - Michael A. Singer This book will teach you so many great things about your life, and this book will teach you so many great things about your beautiful and extraordinary mind, you'll start to see the world with different thoughts and different eyes. You'll learn so much reading it, at first you are probably going to be reminded of some things you knew previously, but at second, you'll also learn things you've had no idea before. This book was recommended to me by a friend who's said to me that knowledge and wisdom in this book isn't just life-changing for those who fear change and discomfort but also enriching for the peace within mind, peace within soul, and peace within heart of every living soul. Mr. Singer has truly captured the purpose, the meaning, and the essence of mind in this beautiful little book, so it's no wonder to me that it's been accepted the way it's been accepted by millions of wonderful and beautiful people, and that there's so much praise and truly wonderful truly honest, and truly heartfelt reviews surrounding it. Wish I could say more of it, but I don't really want to spoil the spiritual experience for you. I will say this though: Don't give up on it, even when you feel like you already know this or that, because I promise you what you'll learn as you'll progress, has so much potential within it, it can not only change your life from worse for the better, but also enrich your life and thus also your heart, your soul, and your mind with this incredible energy and thu create in you a truly very positive mindset.

Be Obsessed or Be Average

Be Obsessed or Be Average - Grant Cardone If you’ve always wondered or if you’re simply wondering
who the heck and what the heck is Grant Cardone, this book
will answer that question for you in the fullest detail possible,
for Mr. Cardone does not beat around the bush in this book,
and he tells it like it is, he tells it like immensely successful businessman
slash entrepreneur slash boss slash control freak that he is.

You will find some parts in this book immensely irritating
for you’ll wonder how the heck could a guy like him
become so immensely successful in life.

And then you’ll find some parts in this book immensely interesting
and you’ll finally learn how the heck could a guy like him become
so immensely successful in life.

The answer, the answer to his success,
he so often speaks about in this book is obsession,
for Mr. Cardone is simply put obsessed with success,

he’s the kind of guy who never gives up on anything
even after thousands of cold calls and
hundreds of cold hard rejections.

He suffered through a very hard addiction
at a very young age and risen like Phoenix
from the ashes.

I have to say that what I admire most about him
isn’t that he’s master of sales and immensely successful
businessman who runs five immensely successful businesses,

but the fact that he didn’t let the past get to him
like it gets to most of us,
and focused his entrepreneurial mind
solely on the present and the future.

And if his London Real conversation with the show's host
showed anything to me it showed that this man
has got insane drive and insane desire
to succeed and grow his wealth
and his companies further.

As someone who really wants to become
an Entrepreneur someday,
I have to say that I found his London Real
conversation very inspiring,

and this book has offered so much knowledge to me
that I willingly accepted and can’t wait to apply to my own life.

So I suggest you do the same,
for you will learn so many new things,
and you will get a truly insightful
and truly rich glimpse
into a mind of a
multi-millionaire
who’s by now probably
a multi-billionaire
if all of his goals
he set out for himself
to achieve
came
true.

You Don't Have to Be a Shark: Creating Your Own Success

You Don't Have to Be a Shark: Creating Your Own Success - Robert Herjavec I first heard of this man when I accidentally stumbled upon a motivational video featuring the story of his childhood and the story of his childhood dream, narrated in his very own voice and described in his very own words. I was immediately hooked and attracted to his story, and that's not because he was a child of an immigrant who fled from Croatia but because he sounded to me like a very successful and very confident businessman with incredibly rich mindset. I have heard of a television show called Shark Tank before, but I honestly had no idea he was one of the Sharks on the show, so that was kind of a pleasant surprise for me as I read it in this book, just as much as I was surprised by the fact that he's appeared on Dancing With the Stars. Which is really strange and funny, because why would such a successful businessman appear on such a show, right? Well, the answer to that question is hidden in this book in which he shares many other things about his successful and about his personal life, including his story of how he became successful and how be became one of the Sharks on that show.

To me, he's a clear example of a man who's had many dreams as a child, chose one and reached out for it, eventually touched it, and is now living it to the fullest, and that's all because he's never ever given up on it.

And that's something every one can take and learn from this book among of course many other important tidbits of business knowledge and business wisdom that are also very important for those of us who truly want to learn how to simultaneously handle
business and personal
aspects of
our lives.

Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear

Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear - Max Lucado So many people
are too afraid to
pursue their ideas,
their hopes, their goals,
and their dreams,

so many people are too afraid
to take that necessary action
and to make that necessary step
that would eventually approach them
to this point with which they could
eventually reach and touch
their craziest, wildest,
and impossible dreams.

But more importantly,
so many people are too afraid
and too terrified to be themselves
in this life and in this world,

because they've created this thing
they like to call fear
within their minds.

My question is: Why be afraid ?

Why be afraid of taking that action
and why be afraid of making that step?
Why be afraid of being yourself
in this life and in this world?

It's fear that prevents us from
living our lives to the fullest,
it's fear that prevents us
from reaching, touching,
and living our dreams,

it's fear that prevents us from
offering our truest gifts, our truest  values,
our truest worth, and our truest potentials
to the beautiful side of the world,

it's fear that prevents us from
reaching our greatness
and living our
undeniable
destiny,

it's fear that prevents us from
succeeding and exceeding
in every area and every aspect
of our lives,

it's fear that prevents us from
living that life we silently know
we deserve to live.

Don't be afraid and don't be terrified
of your ideas, don't be afraid and don't be
terrified of your hopes,
don't be afraid and don't be terrified
of your craziest, wildest,
and impossible dreams,

because you know what?

Throughout History, many hundreds
of immensely brilliant minds were once
afraid of something, but they've eventually
beaten that fear they've had and they've left
behind an enormous legacy about which
we still read and learn about today.

Don't be afraid to become that person
you know you were always
meant to be, because your life, your dream,
always was and always will be
God's gift to
this world.

The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness

The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness - Jeff Olson As far as motivational and
educational self-help books go,
this one has got to be
one of my favorites,

for it offers so much wisdom
and so much knowledge within it
to its passionate avid readers
it's incredible.

I barely finished it,
but for some reason
I want to read it
again and again,

and that's something
that I probably will do
in a very near and
not so distant
future.

The author of this book
has done an outstanding job
and trust me when I tell you this,
his brilliant writing, his wisdom,
and his knowledge regarding
what he likes to implement
in his life and likes to call
Slight Edge will have you
intrigued from the beginning
of the book all the way
until the ending
of the book.

And that's not the best part,
each chapter contains various
important parts taken
from the chapter
and personal stories of people
who have used knowledge
of Slight Edge to their own
advantage and somehow with
help of the principles mentioned
within the book completely changed
and transformed their lives
from worse for the better.

And because their stories seemed genuine
and not far-fetched at all, and because
the author has really done
an outstanding job
with sharing his
knowledge
and included his daughter's
wisdom in it,

I can't help but give it
the highest rating possible,
and I can only hope that
my own words and this truly
humble book-review convinces
you to give this truly
great book a shot
someday.
