Default What book(s) are you reading?

I'm reading one from James Arthur Ray called Harmonic Wealth - The Secret of Attracting the Life You Want.

I'm on the second reading of it since I didn't do the "homework" the first time around.

It's a great book with a lot of great ideas on Manifesting the life you want. I highly recommend it.

I'm also reading Gregg Bradden's new book - The Spontaneous Healing of Belief. He's a super brain and writes like it sometimes so his book is a little harder to understand - its all about changing your beliefs in order to change the world.

Anyone else reading anything good?

I'm trying my best to get through Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, but it's not holding my attention much. I'm also rereading The Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer and I'm reading two books on the business of acting.

I'm reading The Architecture for All Abundance by Leandra Carroll. I am loving this book, and really getting a lot out of it. It gets a little draggy toward the end, but overall it's been very inspirational.

I'm also reading Busting Loose from the Money Game, on Angela's recommendation... I'm still not sure what to think about this one. It's very thought-provoking, and I'm having to process what I'm getting from it.

I think some of my reaction to it is colored by people's interactions with the author that I've read of, apparently at one point he offered money-back guarantees for his very expensive seminars, but people haven't gotten their money back when they asked. Then in this book he says he decided to stop offering the guarantee, and it was so *freeing* for him to not be tied down to what people thought about that, etc. For me, that's a lack of integrity. I mean, Steve has a money-back guarantee for what he writes on his site.

Also reading some Pema Chodron, always very grounding and real.

And Parenting a Free Child, written by an unschooling friend. Very, very deep and inspirational.

I'm reading 'Strategy in Japanese Swordsmanship' by Nicholas Suino.

Good book. I just need more practice.

Martial arts can have value.

A week ago I read Nassim Talebs "The Black Swan" and it is a really great and important book.

Hi ! I am reading :

Law of attraction by esther hicks : I dont like so much the way they talk, I have my doubts about abraham and that stuff in this one. I think the content is good but not inspiring at all.

Siddharta by Hermann Hesse : a story novel about "siddharta" and his thoughts, adventures, feelings toward life wisdom . Really entertaining, and short. I have to finish it.

The master key by Haanel,_Charles: It looks nice and inspiring. It helps to start with law of attraction. what do you guys think about this one?

I just downloaded a bunch of FREE books to my Kindle! Yay! Some old standards that it's time to re-read over Summer vacation in Vegas and Mexico:

Age of Innocence - Wharton
Beautiful and Damned - Fitzgerald
Persuasion - Austen
Walden - Theroux
Siddhartha - Hesse
(too bad they don't have Narcissus and Goldmund for free)

Any suggestions for stuff that's in the public domain (originally published at least 95 years ago?)

I tend to have motivating books as my bedtime reading, and I usually have them on repeat for a while and then move on to others. But right now, I've got:

'The Passion Test' - Janet Attwood and Chris Attwood
Good book on figuring out how to focus on your passions, what you really want from life.

'Notes from the Universe' - Mike Dooley (TUT.com)
Inspiring messages written by 'The Universe', about thoughts becoming things (essentially LOA).

'Dandelion' - Sheelagh Mawe (also TUT.com)
Thoughts becoming things in fiction form. Short and a great read.
