Books that have power to shape our mind - II

  1. Jivan Kanda Ki Phool :  Really, thought is a thing said by Napoleon Hill in his book think and grow rich. it's the most powerful thing on earth. I have been reading books that focus entirely our thought saying this change and shape our life in the long run and then I read this book which is the perfect example of how it its the most important part of our life. She lives that life in real.This is an autobiography by a girl who suffered from cerebral palsy. Her name is Jhamak Ghimire. Living a life of a deaf, who could not walk and move her hands to do daily basic chores. She never went to school even for a day in her life. It's the story of a disabled young girl’s struggle, how she learned to read and write, how she got dignity first in her own house and then in her society and how she earned the nation wide respect for her strong voice through her pen. Never before in my life I have read a book which is filled with loads of quotable quotes. Reading this book will give us hope, courage, resilience and determination to face our troubles and pain. If she can live life on her term, then what should stops us to live ours ?

  1. How to Win Friends and Influence People : I was argumentative at one point of life but then realized it's useless thing to argue with those who do not get your point of view. I was fed up with those who indulge in criticizing, I knew it is total waste of time. Only fool defends a thought want to remain fool or change path in life ? That understanding just saved my time. I wish I had read this book long time back. This book has been one of the all time best sellers in the self help section. It was written by Dale Carnegie in 1936 and it has been staying in print since then as one of the most helpful book in human relations. All the example in the book is not pulled by here and there like Shiva Khera in his book but it was tried and tasted by hundreds of his students in his institution.



  1. Steve Jobs : This book is a story of a man who is not liked and loved by many yet he changed the entire world with his invention, computer, Ipad, Iphone and movie. People who never get tired to tell you to change so that you will be liked and loved by others should read this book. If you think faith in God will make people humble and polite in their dealing with other human being then you should read this book. You will be surprised that is not true. This book also tells you god believing people are worse in human relations than atheist, here I am thinking about Bill Gates who do not demean people like Steve jobs do. Anyway be yourself with all your flaw and strength, there is no one on earth who can replace you. Walter Isaacson writing makes this book a lot more readable and interesting. His life study lets you read the life of a man that tells us its nature, not nurture which shapes our life.

  1. Daydream : if you think educated people will understand what you say and will lend you their supporting hand to achieve your goal then you should read this book. This book is originally written by Gijubhai who is a revolutionary in Indian education system, mainly child education. It was he who had taught to Indian parents to respect child and try to understand their psychology. Indian society is very much like our society like the one Jhamak Ghimire has described her book who disrespects and devalue their own child. In our society children’s voice and choice are grossly ignored. However, this book is much more than that. If you want to understand the difference between leader and a jobholder then you should read this book. Just because you know your dream does not mean it's easy to get it.This is also a book that gives you clear idea about, you must have a dream, a daydream and must work hard to achieve it.  How tough it's to achieve your dream and who are the one who acts like barrier then you should read it to believe it. Sharad Chandra Wosti is brilliant in his work to translate this book in Nepali and due to his translation in Nepali it's easy to read and you can finish it in one sit down.




  1. An Autobiography of a Yogi : This is the only book I have read in Hindu philosophy and by a religious leader. Originally, the writer is an Indian but when he wrote it he had spent more years in America than he had spent in his own mother land [India]. Sure, this is interesting to read for its spiritual aspect more than what it has to teach about God or afterlife. It's also helpful to read it for how to lead successful life. This book also helps you to understand the power of mind. How our thinking will change our life in long term. How your strong determination has a way to shape your life. I have to say this is more than a religious book. This book do have a reread value in time and again.


All the above books do have reread value and help us to live and lead our life than spend it like mediocre life, like little people. These books have recharged me in life and I hope this will recharge you also.

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.
