What's Your Favorite Inspirational/Motivational Book & Why

These are so typical for my sign but here it is

Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki: I love the story telling of the book, lots of great anecdotes that make finance education interesting. It really helps put in perspective how you think about money and different ways to make money not just the "rat race" get a job and buy retirement investments. Makes it feel like it is attainable for most people. I still use some of these principles.

Think & Grow Rich by Napolean Hill. @Tiziani recommended this in one of his posts so I thought I would pick it up. It definitely is a classic. Essentially think about what you need and what you want and opportunities will arise. My favorite section what the part that discusses using sexual energy 😉 I thought it was very forward way of thinking for the time it was written and still makes a lot of sense.

@channingtatumsneck Aww that looks like a cute book. I shall get that for my daughter 🙂

I'm sure you're being sarcastic but I usually read around 20-30 a year 😄

I thought of another great one "The Untethered Soul." HIGHLY recommended.

Changed my life forever.

You said: ... & Why

That man understands (or rather, understood) the Neptunian side--

as well as my love/hate relationship with it.

“If someone is determined not to risk pain, then such a person must do without

many things: [...] - all that makes life alive, meaningful and significant.”

“There is no virtue inherent in un-constructive suffering.”

There is a difference, and he breaks it down beautifully... that's only the tip

of the iceberg, but it's pivotal.

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
Haruki Murakami

"For me, running is both exercise and a metaphor. Running day after day, piling up the races, bit by bit I raise the bar, and by clearing each level I elevate myself. At least that’s why I’ve put in the effort day after day: to raise my own level. I’m no great runner, by any means. I’m at an ordinary – or perhaps more like mediocre – level. But that’s not the point. The point is whether or not I improved over yesterday. In long-distance running the only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be."

"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."

He's a Capricorn Sun Gemini Moon.

Love Haruki Murakami.
