What book(s) has/have inspired or influenced you?

List one or list all..

For me it is:

1) Success through a Positive Mental Attitude

It was my first business or self help book that I ever read. I read it once a year from age 14 to 25.

2) How to Win Friends and Influence People

Helped me get out of my abrasive personality and learn how to comunicate better in my college days.

3) From Good to Great

Made a big difference on how I ran my companies.

I like it because it feeds my imagination and curiosity about parallel worlds and how we can access those worlds in order to achieve success and live the life of our dreams. Packed with lots of exercises to help the reader to access the mind and emotions that will enable us to become masters of our destiny. One of the best books I've read this year about quantum reality and consciousness.; ▶ Reply to This

Being a lifelong Montrealer I was really happy to find ''Real Estate Investing in Canada: Creating Wealth using The ACRE Syetem'' by Don R. Campbell. It is a marvelous book and I highly recommend it to everyone, especially my fellow Canadians on this site. Best, G.

It's about learning wisdom from your life experiences and knowing that no one can take those things away from you. We've all gone through different expereinces in life that have helped to define who we are and the wisdom that we possess. It's a great book.
