DO YOU NEED SELF-HELP? !!

As it is said, books are any day a man’s best friend. Well…to be very honest, there is no doubt in the fact that no source of knowledge can pay as much as books can do. Starting from the very basic lessons of life, to getting answers to the most complicated questions; books always prove to be the most reliable panel to look upon. Not only this, but books today are engraved with such beautiful words and provide such wisdom that they come out to be one of the strongest sources of inspiration besides departing knowledge.

And here, in this article, I’d like to discuss some of the best written and most read books that have had such an impact on people that they were moved and changed for life.

The first piece that comes up in my mind is ‘THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED’ by M.SCOTT PECK. Beginning by throwing light on a harsh reality, it says “life is difficult”; this book talks of various spheres of life, elaborating on topics like evil, romance, mystery, values, spirituality, illness, death etc. Though not a very happy one, this book is amazing in the way it puts direct thoughts on the way people adapt themselves to various challenges of the world without even giving a thought on changing the world.This forms the essence of the whole book where the author constantly stresses on never letting opportunities go unattended or letting yourself bow down before any disaster. The title too: The road less travelled talks of the never ending cycle of life to make you fall over and over again before you actually put up a head and stand high.

The next astounding book is ‘THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE’.The 7 habits that he talks about in his book are nothing but just a path; an introspection technique to realise how strong a single individual is and how effective his actions can be. Considering the fact that man is a highly reactive and proactive being, the book says that there is no stone that can be left unturned; what is required is only a small effort and a determination to alter things and conditions as they are desired. Here, the man is being highlighted as the most intelligent creature of God in the universe.

And the last on my list comes THINK AND GROW RICH– another personal motivation and self-help book by Napoleon Hill. Inspired by suggestions from some of the most successful and richest people of the world, this book is a must read for those who don’t just dream but even dream of fulfilling it. This book is based on the philosophy that anyone can succeed in any line of work if there is faith, a desire and an earnest to gain knowledge and go far. It portrays the man as the most powerful being on the planets who, with his persistence, planning and his sub-conscious mind can do anything and everything. Besides, this book also has an extract written by a Scottish-American businessman Andrew Carnegie who is one of those shining stars who started from a scratch and now hold the ability to rule the world.

Now….does there remain any reason to leave any of the above writings unread??Don’t take a chance!!
