As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
This book is a prayer to heart of our existence: to thought. If I ever want to suggest a book to someone, it would be this. I read this book no less than a 50 times, and I keep listening to the its audiobook every day. Starting with the Bible aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." the book devotes to sing the song of thought. It is one of the books that unconsciously tried to answer the question, "Who are we human beings?" James Allen said, in his celebrated perspective, "You are your thought." He himself cites Bible for this thought, but I believe he is the one who spread it into people, by giving it that RIGHT perspective.

Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl
Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist, made enormous contribution to stretch the boundaries of human capacity to be resilient. He was sent to a Concentration Camp synonymous to death and through his belief and the techniques he own developed by stretching out his capacity, he survives it.
He popularized, through his later professional work and writings millions of people stuck in depression--and the modern day's self-made diseases of self.
Read this book. It's worth your time.

Think and Grow Rich
I'm presently in the second reading & first listening to the audiobook.
Maybe you have read many books on personality development and excellence, but without knowing this guy Napoleon Hill's Think & Grow Rich---you're not complete. Just read the introduction, and if you don't like it, throw it off. And I'm sure you will like it--because it is just true.
Hey, friends! Reading choosy books is like harvesting your favorite seed in the acres of your soil (your mind) It is a very commonplace in the corporate world to say, "Do you say you don't have time to read? I wonder if you have any time to live." So, friends, read. It doesn't matter if you can only pay 10 minutes of time. It's enough, if you do it committed.
Find why you should read books, and read. Thanks for reading.
