So before I google search and get suggestions from online stores, Im turning to the people of HAN.

I would like suggestions on books that you have read (or maybe heard that are suggested) that relate to the powers of positive thinking. We all go through funks and need to establish ways to re-focus and I believe reading might be a great way in doing so.

On that note, please post your suggestions. I really appreciate it guys (and gals, and both).

 

Takuan Soho's - The Unfettered Mind big time recommended
Sun Tsu's - The Art of War
Tao te Ching (I have 3 versions that I can loan you)

Obviously these are all Eastern books/training/etc. I find them to be an astounding way to feel better about yourself and your outlook on life.

 

The Tao of Pooh - puts everything into perspective and shows you how much we overcomplicate things...

The 5 People You Meet in Heaven - maybe not really what you have in mind but IMO the book just kinda shows that we all have an impact on people we never realize exist... its a positive read, flows pretty easily and definitely makes you think

 

The Holy Bible.

Just a thought. Book of John is a good place to start.

 

make sure they are not by Quixtar

 

As a man thinketh

 

I've read all his books and they are all very good. My favorite is Tuesdays with Morrie, but I think those are a sad look at motivational help etc.

 

randy pausch (sp?) i forget the title but its a inspiring good short readings

 

Someone recomended i read


If i can find it here i'll try it out.

 

The Way of the Wizard By Deepak Chopra. It's an amazing book on positive thinking. The person that gave it to me is really good friend. In the front he wrote, "The wizard who wins, isn't the one who creates the most magic, he's the one who creates the most wizards. I have an extra copy of it. I'd be happy send it to you.
