- @Pip Jamieson Great idea. I do think a book can be the catalyst of you changing your life. The book in many ways posesses the power to activate wisdom within you.Many times one book will lead you to another, so it ends up in a collective of books enhancing a similar idea in you.I have a number of books that I dwelled into this year that helped me pivot, some that I had already read before. It is quite hard to choose one, but studying *The Bible has made it that book.These books have to be in the list: *The Silva mind control method, *The power of positive thinking, *Think and grow rich.
- @Nikola Auterska This one really did change my life too -- it got me back into writing again after a fallow period.
- Pachinko by Min Jin Lee (a bit of a late reply!)
