Now we all have had different experiences in life and these experiences have one way or the other impacted on the way we do things. One of the things I do that have had very positive impact on my life is reading. I used to be pessimistic about life and easily give up on my dreams until I came across a book by Napoleon Hill and Clement Stone titled “The power of positive thinking” when I read this book something like a bulb switched on in my head and I have never been the same again. Anyone here ever read a book that caused a change in your life?

This is a great book that has been around for a few decades! It is really good to think like this! I wish more people would be positive and not so negative!

Maybe there could be a television show based on this book, since it makes good reading over and over again! There is too much negativity out there and it can get to us without us realizing it!

Purpose Driven Life was the first book i've read that changed my life. i am a pathetic girl way back then but when i was ready to give up with life, a cousin reminded me to read this book. The feeling was amazing, as if the author was directly speaking to me like he knows all my struggles but then again i realized we all have different paths to take but it all leads to one.=)
