I like Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad so much but I'm still unable to finish it. However, the book is so powerful that it stays in my mind everyday. I believe the book is really a strong encouragement specially for those who are striving to hit a pot of gold and I'm one of them

Yes, crisrosales, some books leave a big impact on us even after finished reading them. I think you are referring to one of such good books.

As of now the books that influenced my life are the books of Robert Kiyosake and T. Harv Eker. It is about financial education , about what we think of money. How it change our thoughts and believes. It helps me to change my thoughts and believe that everyone can be wealthy. It gives me hope of getting rich. It really influenced me. But the learning will be put into waste if I will not put it into action. I am doing my best to apply it with my life.

Hi vijayanths, My life has been greatly influenced by books that I have read as well. The Bible has always been interesting to me and I've received a lot of help from it. Other books include Dale Carnegie's How to win friends and influence people, Norman Vincent Peale's The power of positive thinking. In more recent years the has been the writings of Neale Donald Walsch and Eckhart Tolle to name a few. Blessings.

I like memoirs. One of my most favorite, off-beat memoir was "Wasted: a memoir of Anorexia & Bulimia" by Marya Hornbaucher really has been helping me battle through some of my own inner demons. It's such a good, and relat-able memoir; and I would suggest anyone who has "dabbled" in eating disorders to check it out. Otherwise, I love memoirs. Whenever I read anyone's memoir or a fiction book that is arranged/written LIKE a memoir; if it's well-written, it pretty much changes my life. lol.
