The best motivational book I've read in my entire life might not fit into the normal category one would consider a motivational book, but indeed, it is if you learn how to use it properly. It's called the Bible and has instructions for how to conduct business, how to treat customers, and even gives clues to what things a person should connect themselve with to become prosperous. Interesting concept huh?

Newbie or not girl, it's the best book out there. I wouldn't worry too much about being a newbie. Just discuss and respond in honesty and you won't have a thing to worry about. There will always be people who don't like some of your discussions or answers but as long as you are true to yourself you don't have a thing to worry about You're doing great already!

I don't think this technically is a motivational book, but I'm putting it because it's the one that motivated me to make changes in my life - it's The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. The book helps you re-discover your creative side. By going through the exercises I totally revamped my life. Since then I learned to play guitar, taught classes at colleges on this book, and have started my own business as a writer. It really was worth reading!

The Artists Way is a great book for inspiring creativity. Another is Bird by Bird By Anne Lamott, it is written specifically for writers.

I have never heard of that book, but the title sounds interesting. Thanks for the recommendation! I will look into that! As far as a motivational book I have read, I would have to say Tuesdays With Morrie. I think it's one of the only motivational books I've read. Lol. But it is very good. It gives you a different outlook on life, and it realy makes you want to live each day to the fullest. I would highly recommend it if you haven't already read it. And if you have, I would recommned reading it again!

I haven't heard of that one yet but my fav has always been The Trick to Money Is Having Some! by Stuart Wilde. It's an interesting book meant to change the reader's hang ups about money. Highly recommended :)

I have to agree that The Bible has given me the most inspiration and the best advice out of any book in the world. I also really loved "The Purpose Driven Life," by Rick Warren. It is a wonderful christian based book on dicovering what purpose God has for our lives. I have just started reading "The Secret", by Rhonda Byrne, so I can't advise on how that one is yet.

Regarding investments and getting rich the best book I read is Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. It is written as simple as possible so even people with no finance background will not find it difficult to understand. There are simple illustrations too as to understand his point better.After reading this book you start to look forward in putting your money to work for you. Regarding following ones dreams the best book I read is The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho. The most famous quote from this book is: "When you want something all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it." This is a very simple book that tells the tale of a young shepherd and how one should follow his dream even if he meets setbacks.

If you find that very interesting, it's because the book has inspirational motives and motivates people in their everyday life. I'm sure that one is a good book! I also recommend angel books like Where Angels Walk by Joan Wester Anderson and Angel Letters By Sophy Burnham. They are true stories about angels saving mankind from danger especially when people believe in them.
