books

[Guest guest]

"where the heck do you find the time to read all

these books? "<br><br>Well I can't claim that I have

read all the books I mention on my website or that I

have on my shelves. I keep them coming and I do feel

overwhelmed sometimes. But I think of my books mainly as a

reference library. I have "spent some time" with most of

them. I once mentioned here an interview with a hand

surgeon I found on the

web.<br><a href=http://www.links.net/vita/corp/manu/markison/full.html

he reads a book a day. I don't have that

much time, but I think we all have more time than we

realize. I always like to point out that there are 168

hours in a week.<br><br>I did just finish a book (cover

to cover!) called The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by

Robin Sharma. Its kind of a motivational, positive

thinking book but I liked it a lot and highly recommend

it. After aquiring tons of books in the quest to

figure out how to have a healthy body I realized that

you can also feed yourself info on how to improve

your mind.<br><br>I'm excited about Caroline Myss, who

I have just discovered. She has a couple of

best-selling books which are already classics in the field of

self-healing - Anatomy of the Spirit and Why People Don't Heal

and How They Can. And she has a new book on the way

in a few weeks. You can read more about her books on

Amazon and she has a website here:

good books should be read more than once.

(and then STUDIED!) Reading and rereading carefully

selected good books was one of the ideas in The Monk Who

Sold His Ferrari. The book also mentions that there

are 168 hours in a week (which I've been saying for

many years).<br><br>I think its good to read widely

and get lots of perspective on things. And I think

its good to watch lots of good documentaries. I don't

have cable but I find tons of good stuff on PBS. I'll

be watching stuff on PBS and thinking "all kids

should have to watch this in school".<br><br>There's a

reason we have minds...........
