Did you ever read any motivational books that help to improve yourself in your daily living? If yes, feel free to share with others and why did you find that book useful?
I also need some suggestions from you all for any motivational readings on improving ourselves in daily living.

I would suggest that you read "You Think If You Think You Can" by Norman Vincent Peale..It's good in boosting your self confidence to do things you normally don't want to do out of fear of failure. It's really great for career boosting or even your personal life.

In the case of motivational books I tend to dislike thoughs that are too "systematic" telling you step by step on how to be a better person. I'm not saying that they are not good but I just don't like following a sequence of suggestions. I like to get a large picture of what I really want in life and books that can give me that picture or give me a perspective to look at the picture that I already have would be most motivating and helpful.
If you haven't read Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, I'd recommend this book. It really tells you a lot about what's great in life. Other books by Mitch Albom also has the same effect but I'd like Tuesdays with Morrie the most. Happy reading!

Thanks for your suggestion.
I agree with you about the 'systematic' step by step books. Because in the case of life, it is subjective. Sometimes from point A, you can jump to point D and sometimes straight to point M. So the steps can't be applied 100% in real life.

comprehend what you are reading. do what you read. if the book told you to stop drinking liquors because it is bad for the health given some proofs, then do some actions about it. follow what you read and of course what you think is really necessary.
