If there was one book
that changed my life immediatly, it was Wishcraft by Barbara Sher. She gives
concrete advice, which is not only inspiring but exceedingly practical. What
really impacted me was her ability to make
me resculpt my life to include elements of the things I love. Her creative
compromising tactics can help people move from escape fantasies to
self-actualization. -- Rachel A.

"This is one that I actually use a
reference. I've read it cover to cover several times, but also find it
inspiring to read certain passages relating to current issues in my
life. Dyer has spotlighted many great minds of our time and eloquently
illustrated how their beliefs, quotes, works, etc. still influence our lives
today, and how we can continue to learn from them." -- Jennifer

Carlson

one of the most insightful books I have ever read. Dr. Carlson truly

NOT a finical guide or a get rich quick book. In fact, "Don't Worry,
Live Better" would probably be a better title. I can honestly say
that this book has helped me overcome fears that have plagued me my entire
life and the difference in my life is amazing!" -- J.W.

Psycho-Cybernetics,
by Dr Maxwell
Maltz
Recommended by: 2 TIP's
Subscribers
"I read this at a young age, in my late teens
& early 20's. I was in a dead-end job, no education, no family,
no religion, and on the road toward alcoholism. After reading
Psycho-Cybernetics, everything changed in my life. For the past 30
some-odd years, I have worked at night school, gotten AA, BS and Master's
degrees and started on my doctorate. Not only that, my business life
has prospered. I now earn twenty times what I did then. My
wife and I have successfully raised and educated four adult
children. And I can't wait for the next phase of my life. It is
going to be wonderful." -- B.K.

The
Artist's Way : A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity,
by Julia Cameron
Recommended by: 11 TIP's Subscribers
"This book is
useful, inspiring, and full of wisdom from cover to cover. It is not just
for artists, but for anyone who is creative, in any way. (Hint: Anyone in
business for themselves is creative!) The Artist's Way is a 12-week course
in discovering, recovering, and empowering the inner creative. (You know,
the part of you that yearns to learn photography, wear red silk ties, or
just plain goof off.) The tools given in Cameron's book can be used every
day, long after you've finished the book itself. Gentle, but not wimpy,
this book will help you discover fact from fiction, reality from fantasy,
want-to's from shoulds. I've done the 12 week course twice, and each
timetruly miraculous things have opened up in my life." -- P.C.
The
Road Less Traveled,
M. Scott Peck
Recommended by: 15 TIP's Subscribers
"I truly
enjoyed this book very much because Dr. Peck really tells the truth about
life. LIFE IS TOUGH! There's no doubt about it. No other authors, I know
of, have the courage to tell it like it is. I did not agree with all
of the author's views about Christianity, but that was easy to over-look
because the book is so real, so true, so helpful and so honest. A
refreshing and wonderful book of hope in the midst of real life.
Very inspiring!" -- P.K.
The
7 Habits of Highly Effective People,
by Stephen R. Covey
Recommended by: 9 TIP's Subscribers
"This
book is a master piece. I bought it because it's so famous, and my boss
wanted me to read it. I was skeptical, but the first 20 pages turned
me around! This book is far superior to most of the other self help
books in the market because he doesn't promise quick fixes or easy
solutions. He writes about living with principle, and practicing
what we preach. A must read for everyone." -- P.B.
