The book is quite captivating, implementing and written in very efficacious manner. Guys, reading books of different genres in this unpleasant time of worldwide pandemic is like revitalising yourself everyday. Let's have a quick dive into the extract of the book. He writes about excuses as diseases. Excuses, which he classified into four types:-            health excusitis ,age excusitis, intelligence excusitis and luck excusitis. The book contains the cures on how to overcome them as these "so called" diseases have crept into every walk of our life.What I liked the most about his writing was that he gives the checklist of ques

  "The Fault in our Stars " written by John Green is not just another love story. It is not real rather totally fictitious. So I would say, it's the great work of a human imagination.It is a love story of two persons who met at the Support Group, a group that is set for the wellness of cancer patients. Yes, they both were cancer patients. The girl named, Hazel Grace Lancaster was suffering from thyroid cancer and the guy, Augustus Waters was victim of Osteosarcoma. For them who don't know, Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer that begins in the cells which forms bones. They were accompanied by Isaac at the Support Group who miserably lost his vision midway in the story. Both of them knew that they were ill and not gonna spend much time with each other but they longed to live the moments they were together. There was a book, An Imperial Affliction, for which Hazel was quite inquisitive always for the author of the former, Peter Van Hueten, left the partial story. She

COPYCAT MARKETING 101 , is a less detailed but a very well written and I would say clearly written book, by Burke Hedges . It is worthwhile reading. Published in 1997,this book containing about 120 pages with 7 chapters aims at introducing "Network Marketing". In the first six chapters, he talks about the difference between linear growth and exponential growth, people following nine to five job track against the people following franchising, compounding and how process of synergism can lead to exponential growth. In my opinion it could be more detailed. If there is one thing every single person in this world is good at it's copycating. And he viewed network marketing as copycat marketing. Simply we have to just copycat our upline. In simple words,Network marketing, also known as multi-level marketing (MLM), is a direct selling method that uses a network of people to sell a product. How Burke Hedges describe it? It talks about network marketing as ultima

" How to stop worrying and start living "  is one of the most popular self help book written by Dale Carnegie , the author of How to win friends and influence people. This is not a book which can be absorbed in one go, exceptionally for those who read it for mere entertainment. To absorb the whole meaning one should read it at least five-six times. Even the author suggests it to have look at the underscores every month. I found it worth reading since I had my own blues. And solemnly uttering it helps me a lot. The thing is one can relate with the theories. Like, How to win friends and influence people  and Think and grow rich by Napolean Hill , this book is a consequence of experimentation and interviewing of thousands of influencing people who succeed in overcoming their darkest days and hours. This book contains a thousand impactful ways in which one can succeed in banishing worry. I would love to quote them here also. But I won't since it will spoil your r

Moreover, it has the highest ratio of centenarians in the world: more than 520 for every million people (as of September 2016). In this book, lies the secrets to a long and happy life.First time I came across Japanese(language) in Doraemon and second time in IKIGAI. So. Wait... Wait! You might be thinking the meaning of IKIGAI. IKIGAI means "a reason for being". This stresses on finding and following our own ikigai that is one of things common in all the centenarians of Japan. What compelled me to read , I heard about Okinawa known as the Village of longevity. This book talks about Okinawa and the

HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE is another self-help book written by Dale Carnegie , an American writer specially penning and sermonizing in self-improvement. Unlike other self-help books, this one is full of illustrations and real life examples. This book was written first in its niche. It is based on human interpersonal relations business and in daily life. Carnegie has done his humble duty to take out the best of this world. I had the great and joyous time reading it. Feels realistic. There is so much to learn in this book. Trying to implement the principles in it. Very well written. Let's peek into the Carnegie's principles given in "How to win friends and influence people" Don't criticize to appreciate be it anyone the senior the junior you never know how can that appreciate can be a beginning of a new and fresh life of someone. Don't criticize, condemn or complain. Do honest and sincere appreciation forget flattery. Arouse in other person an eage

 A QUITTER NEVER WINS-AND—  A WINNER NEVER  QUITS How one can attain riches? How one can beat procrastination? How one can overcome his fears? How one can transform his ardent desire into monetary equivalent? How can one harness and use the power of DESIRE? Instead of searching on Google and YouTube," How to be rich......?"  Follow your passion and start improving and investing in yourself. Hill published his first interpretation of this individual achievement philosophy in 1928 as the multi-volume Law of Success,exactly twenty years after the Carnegie  interview. Think and Grow Rich was a modern abridgment of that set, published in 1937 written by Napoleon Hill . I hear about this book from a YouTube video as a life changing book that's why I picked this one. Really enthusiast one!! The person who stops studying merely  because he has finished school is forever hopelessly doomed to mediocrity, no matter what maybe his calling.  Before we can accumulate riches in great a

Must and Should are personified. Reading it is like talking and meeting Oneself. Here are the blazing colour columns from the book. This book deals with reflecting to us the two paths in our life- Must and Should. We get to choose between them again and again. Should is how other people want us to live our lives.It’s all of the expectations that others layer upon us over the lifetime. Must is different. Must is who we are, what we believe, and what we do when we are  alone with our tru
