A book that changed your life?

I agree with you that every book I read changes my life a little bit here and there. But yes, there is a particular book that changed my life the first time I read it and continues to affect me every time I pick it up and thumb through it again. It is Centering in Pottery, Poetry and the Person by M.C. Richards. In a nutshell, this book drew a thread through my very existence and connected it everything I have ever done in my life.

Oh.. would I say changed my life? wel not really it made me a better person and made me to see a new approach to Leadership and Power. I still carry the book in my Travelling Bag! its Paradox of Power -Pat Williams. It a delight.

well, besides the Bible of course, i would have to say the book called 'bird by bird' by anne lamot (i think) its a very good and encouraging book for beginning writers. i would recommend it highly to anyone who wants to start writing!

I guess one of the first inspirational books that I read, changed my life more than anything. It was "The Power of Positive Thinking". It not only made me try to think positive, but it also got me to reading that type of book more often. It seems like whenever I am reading something really positive like that, things just seem to go so well for me. I guess it is probably because I have such a short of a memory, that if I am constantly pounding it into my brain I do better. LOL

I will never forget reading Anne Frank's diary. That book has changed me a lot. It made me read more about what happened in the past what people did and all those lifes lost. It made me value life more and things in it. To respect and see people as individuals and not see colours, race, religion, age or gender. I have read the book so many times and each time is like reading it for the first time. Plus I have many Anne Frank related books as well

Hi Lovesummer :) I think every book is changing our lifes a bit. Do you agree with me? Each of them tells us something new though we usually don't see how it makes our lifes but it does. I'm from Poland and in my opinion many Polish (but not only Polish) writers influenced on me.

It would be Stranger in a Strange land by Robert A Heinlein I read it when I was 13 and it amazed me, opened my eyes to life, and to how we soo little see whats around us even if we actually look at it.

I am not sure if a book changed my life, maybe "Go ask Alice" but not in the way people think. I would give credit to the writers that changed my life, Poe, Twain, Frost, only to name a few. I have many that I read that are important to me. All the books, as I mentioned before, have affected me one way or another. Ainge

It's the purpose driven life that i had read and after forty days it changes my life. I learned a lot from that book after I read such.Well I am so lucky that I was given the opportunity to read such book because there are a lots of lessons that all of us should learn and we can find it there. After I read such I felt that I am complete and all of my questions regarding life was all answered. If you want to experience the same as I had experience, read that book.
