The book that changed my life

I read "Gone With The Wind" by Margaret Mitchell 5 years ago and I still love that book. I love it and I really influenced by the book. It changed my way of life and it changet the way I think about something. I opened my mind and started to believe that a woman can be stronger than man.

Some books can only be understood when you are old enough,when you have accumulated enough experience, even if you have came across the book earlier,you may also throw it away because you can not fully understand it.

Hi erik319, Welcome to myLot, I hope you will enjoy your time here and make both friends and money. I have never read the book that you mentioned but one of the books that helped me was The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. This book was written more than fifty years ago but is still popular today. Another was The Magic of Believing, I believe the author was Claude Bristol. There are of course many more such books on the market today. Thanks for posting this discussion. Blessings.

hello erik319, welcome to mylot! i hope you are enjoying your stay out here. anyway to answer your question my most favorite book of all time is "the alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. i was in College (18yo) when i first read that book. i have always longed for ways to be happy and when i read it, it guides me and help me find what i am looking for in life and i can honestly say that i am on my way for fully finding it. the best quote for me is... "‘The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.’” i remember writing about it on my diary and here it goes (to summarize it all) people think im smart (a$$... lol!), intelligent yet witty, snob, poor, pain, name it... well,, i guess they already named me... but despite this name-calling, tag, label that sticks on my name,,, one thing i am sure of,,, with any of those,,, i prefer to be called WISE,, having WISDOM is not only having a brain,, but most of all... HEART have a good one!

This may seem a weird book to choose; i've read a great deal of books but the one that affected me most is the classic Roald Dahle book Mr and Mrs.Twits which i read when i was about 8/9. Lol opended me up to the great world of reading and explored the sides of evil and how it's represented.

For me, the motivation books sometimes change my mind setting... Therefore, it changed my life in some ways around...

Hello! I don't really know the name of the book in English, but in Portuguese it is called: "O Monge e o Executivo". I can't remember the author's name either, since I never keep record on them. By googling it you will find all information, I'm sure. It talks about leadership, and the advices in there are really valuable. Now, I liked the title of the book you said. I should try reading it and seeing what can I learn from it. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

For me the answer is obvious.... God's Holy word the Bible... John 3:16 sums up it's impact on my life...

I think the secret has had an impact on my life. i wouldnt say it changed my life but it had an impact. It is a book that talks about focusing on and visulaizing what you really want out of life. It gained alot of popularity by being focused on by Oprah Wingfrey. It is a really uplifting book however.

for me its the book "TAO OF JEET KUNE DO" written by Bruce Lee. It really changed my life and it really has some very good points that will change anyones life after reading it. And also a short book (a kind of a report) called "JEET KUNE DO TOWARDS PERSONAL LIBERATION" is really a good read that has turned my life so much. hope you read them at some point if you find some time.

Its none other than the HOLY BOOK/BIBLE, its got a big on my life and the way i live i always try to reflect my life on the sayings the HOLY BIBLE contains. No other book can beat its influence on my life.

I've read a lot of books which affected my life but The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey has helped me a lot.

gone with the wind,madame bouvary,siege,ordinary world

The book that matters most to me in life: The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. Good book. Makes you see who's the power hungry and who's not.

I have read lots of inspirational books by authors like,Mac Anderson,Norman Pearle,Napolean Hill etc.I loved the chicken soup series too.In some way all the books helped me cope with life whenever I faced a problem.The latest among these is "The secret"By Rhonda Bryne.It really helped me focuss my thougths and to see things in a positive manner.I have not come across the book you have mentioned I would like to read it.

I'd have to say that the Bible is my favorite book and it has had the biggest impact on my life. It's God's instruction manual for us, and His eternal love letter. When I am down, I can turn to the Psalms and discover that the Psalm writers often got angry with God and yet ended up praising Him. When I need a touch of wisdom, Proverbs is full of timeless truth.

The Bible. It's the only one book that changed my life. It is the best book ever written. It is the word of God. It's God's way of communicating with people like me. And I wish to share the lyrics of this beautiful song which will further explain why I love the Bible so much. The Bible is the best book, The book we hold most dear, A story book, a picture book, A book of songs to cheer. The Bible tells of Jesus, Who watches from above, The Bible brings the message sweet, That God is Love. The Bible, too, has letters, That bring good news in them, The Bible tells us Jesus said, "Let children come to Him." The Bible teaches lessons On what we all should be, The Bible came from God above, For you and me.

i read "five people you meet in heaven" by mitch albom and it really made me reflect on my life and how i affect other people's lives
