    I'm more of a nonfiction fan, and my favorite genre is biography/ autobiography. The three books that you mentioned are very intriguing to me. They may be exactly what I need to read to help encourage a friend who is in an emotional rut, and I'm sure I'll gain some valuable life lessons as well.
    I always enjoy hearing about what other people are reading, and it has encouraged me to read books that I otherwise might not have read or known about. Thanks for sharing! 🙂👍

      @@JasonAlcott I am also an enormous fan of biographies and have been reading them all of my life. I've never been much of a fiction fan. I guess that's because the old saying that "truth is stranger than fiction" holds up pretty well.
      I will have to think about biographies and the ones that I thought were the best. I have read so many.
      One book that had an enormous effect on me is essentially a autobiography and that is Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Talking about his time in the Nazi concentration camps and the people who did and didn't survive and why.

    Hi. I stumbled upon your video by chance. Thank you for sharing. I love that quote where there's hope in the future there's power in the present. That's lovely. I like it precisely b/c today I had a day where I set out to do a task, but the day took me in a different direction and ended up fruitless. Those days are in my opinion hardest to accept when trying to reach a goal; days where you've done something necessary but it was more of a process of elimination than visible results. My 3 favourite books which impacted my life are: POWER VS FORCE by Dr. David Hawkins. I don't read a lot of self-help but I've read this 5 times. The other two books are novels and while I know it feels different to read a novel, I've read both so many times and I've learned so much from the authors that I am grateful they were put on my path. The first novel is Catcher in the Rye and the other is Jane Eyre.

    The best place to start is with the classics. All this stuff is re-cycled babble which was written about 2500 years ago. Start with Marcus Aurelius “Meditations” , Socrates, Plato or any of the Stoics. If that doesn’t do it read the Bible, the Koran, Pali Canon and the Vedas. Shakespeare blows all these books off the shelf. Your book pile would be much shorter but stronger. The problem is nobody is educated anymore so these pop self-improvement types come along and recycle millions-old truths because no one has read the original stuff they are ripping off and rebottling as theirs. So you keep blowing money on these crap 1 idea per book books. If you aspire to do another, read the good stuff first.

    Hii Brother I'm new to this channel i observed that you are replying everyone hopefully i I'll get too. My concern is my mindset like i always overthink about people who is doing bad like having affairs with other people , my negative mind always bothers me like will u get the good one like who doesn't have any bad past with others . Also i want to be confident in the public by ignoring what people thinks about me. I want to improve my mindset . My concern might be little funny but for me it's big hectic. Please tell me which books or something can help to get out of this .

    What you are trying to say here is all about material values and egocentricism or individualism. Hence your personal definition of changes of life is confined within merely changes of materialistic life, such as getting more material values to serve your goals of materialistic life, and your subjective belief that priorotising whatever you want is the only way to realise such goals. Emphasising your personal choice means that you consider yourself or whatever you want as the centre of the universe or the centre of your life, but not other people in your life
    It's a dangerous misconception because it promotes selfishness and egocentricism. It is also so poor because life is not all about material values, while they are merely a part among so many other values in life, such as true friendship, love, family values, social attachment or community spirit, patriotism and suchlike. You can be super- rich in terms of material values, while being extremely poor, severely lacking all other values in life. Big money can certainly buy you whatever of material values you want, but it can never ever buy you true friendship, true love, true family values and happiness. Although you can buy fake friendship and sham relationships, what people around you really want is your money, but not you
    Such books are suitable only for pursuing material values, but the application of such subjective notions can't guarantee any constructive change
