Summary Of The Book

How To Win Friends And Influence People is a book that had been published for the first time in the 1930s. This book has been one of the first self-help books to be published ever.

The author deals with the issue of long conditioning, and provides the readers with effective ways to deal with that stumbling block, while establishing relationships with new people.

Nice tread, I would like to recommend a book which really changed my life and helped me alot in my pursuit of a financially stable life. 'Intelligent Investor' Please read.

Einstein

Thanks for your feedback and suggestion.The Intelligent Investor is a Bible for Fundamental Analysis.

Yes , I have read it.Warren Buffet made most of his wealth after applying the principles outlined in this fantastic book.

 

[timepass]

This book was a sort of bible for me in my 20s..

Of course, Ayn Rand remains a favorite, as well as a host of others.

My take on this.

There are enough self help books available in the world to drown yourself in an ocean of knowledge.The only point is that there is fine thin line between addiction and good habit.

.Every person has his/her own triggers for motivation.You can never judge what book/idea/thought motivates a person and instantly change his/her life.

There are many people who even though have gone through countless books are still looking out for more.These are those people exactly described on those articles and links.A very few self starters and self motivated people do not require a single book at all.


Also the intention of starting such a thread is for the benefit of all members not particularly myself.

Hey Oilman, Thanks for your kind words. Always have appreciated your posts, experience and wisdom.... My attitude has been to give back in whatever small way that I can, as I have gained a lot from on from being in the forum. However, human nature being what it is, GENERALLY people will always try to get you down to a lower level. This is an unfortunate fact of life..... I had read somewhere, that you as (a person) is an average of 5 people that you know or relate to. Will be taking a long break from being here, as I will be travelling and have some plans.... Not sure, if I will want to be back here actively.... Need to have a fresh mind and a new perspective that will be good for self as well as for trading. I wish you the very best Oilman. Take care.... Amit your thread is greatly motivating and inspirational.... so thank your for that..... Sometimes, we need to move a few steps up to reflect on what we are doing and see if it fulfills our life's visions, purpose and goals, and to not let the busyness of life, stop us from attaining the goals that we seek and aspire to. So good luck to you as well. Will be on a break from tomorrow. Till when, let's see. Cheers.

Selef help books are good to read, but, i have seen so many people that are on top of the world as they get that EUREKA moment each time they read a new book,but, what stops them from continuously applying that particular technique to their excellence?

If you read this book, IMHO, you will not need an another self help book.

TraderPro

Thanks for your recommendation!!!

Again a wrong interpretation.

The title of this thread is Life changing books.A life changing book may not necessarily be a self help book.It can be any book , like a trading book, a book on finance,a novel, a short story book,even a small magazine or any article posted somewhere on the net.

You will find that I have posted books like "The Rich Dad,Poor Dad" and many such other books which are not self help books.

I have highlighted the reason for starting this thread here
http://www.traderji.com/words-wisdom/93353-life-changing-books-5.html#post958095

I fail to understand why people are against reading and they take reading as a medicine prescribed by a psychologist.

I have highlighted the benefits of general reading(not necessarily self help books) in the post below.Please go through them.

I think if that is what most members want I will stop posting on this thread
