Books that have power to shape our mind - I

One of the most toughest job perhaps is to shortlist the books to top ten then when you have read hundreds of books. It's really tough in so many ways than just one. Because I am picking the books based on its reread value and how it will help an individual to shape their life. Rather than its literary importance or rich in language or which helps you to kill time. These books offers answer to the some perplexing problem of life. Tells you be be bold, strong and resilient in life rather than rant, cry or complain or take pride in art of criticizing. I am listing the name of books as I like and as it has intention to help the human race regardless of your caste, creed and culture.





  1. The Fourth Dimension : This is a book written by a Korean christian religious leader leader, who is known to the christian world as the one who has the largest members in a church. Let me tell you this very clearly, me and religion won't go side by side. However, I do not see any reason whatsoever to run away from its true impact in every society or the good books that have come out from Christians leaders. There will always be people who put their faith in this or that god or religion and there will always be a true leader who would like to solve the perplexing questions that grip every society. I have not read a bible but I keep read people who read bible, teach bible, preach bible, breath bible and sleep bible. I always find it interesting to read Dr. Paul Yonggi cho, Norman Vincent Peale and Loren Cunningham or Sri Yukteswar the famous nineteenth century Indian sage who see so much similarities in what is taught and preached by top religious leaders; be it Hindu or christian or other saints regardless of their believe in religion. What is very interesting about this book is its more than a religious book. Its motivational and inspiring and it's helpful to read when we feel so low in our life.  If you read the book the magic of big thinking this man do not believe in god but he believes in the power of our thinking which do have power to shape our life. This is what this book tells you in so much easy way. Should this surprise me then Dr. Cho is also world famous in inspiration speaking than just religious preacher.


  1. Rich Dad Poor Dad : If you think you have to work hard to earn money then you better read this book and this will change your entire thinking, saying that there is  no direct connection between hard work and rich people. This book is all about financial literature which has power to change our thinking on money or how to make money. ‘Let the money work instead of working for money’ is what main thing this book teach us. The world is divided by two kind of people one believe money is power and another believes love of money is root of evil. This books allows us in the mind of those who ask questions, how can I afford instead of I can't afford it. Its interesting how rich people see those lines and how poor people see those lines.  I remember Ralf Smart at this point, who is a spiritual  speaker on YouTube. He said, “money is something poor people work hard  so much to hand it over rich people.” Robert Kiyosaki shares his life time experience in this book and that makes the whole difference.



  1. The power of positive thinking : I have heard about this book long before but read it only couple of years before. I must say this here, I regret it reading it so late. This is one of the most influential book I have read. Although, this minister teach us to respect Christ but I became huge fan of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale than the man he worships devoutly. Its really worth appreciating his desire to help not just Christians but all the humans who suffer from this or that kind of problems in life. He have covered almost all topics that ails human being and tried to answer in details one by one of those problems. This sure is one of the best self help book by a religious leader. He do have that power to make me respect christian leaders by the kind of service they give to help people at large.

  1. Think and Grow Rich :  Poverty is bold and ruthless and it's everywhere but rich is shy so you have make a proper plan to attract it. This is the line from the book that gets my full attention. Napoleon Hill is the writer of this book and it  was published in  1937. This is a book which came out after 25 years of study of big money makers in US. It's not just about the study of those who made money but this also talks about what is that quality which makes you successful in life regardless of odds staring at your face. For me this book is the perfect example how our thought have power to shave and change our life.  



  1. The Magic of Thinking Big was written by David J. Schwartz and published in 1959. The writer of this book tells you with his years of experience that  you don't have to be lucky to be successful in life. This is one more self help book. Yes, it's your belief and thinking that shapes your life. You know what is so interesting about this book ? He do not tell you to put all your faith in god to be healthy, happy and successful in life, instead he tells you put your faith in you and yourself more than anything on earth. This is the part which I life most in about this book. This is the compact version of book by religious leader and motivational speaker.
