    This is weird! I haven't read any of those books! Well, I have to say that I did read a book that inspired me. Only Emma! It tells you to believe in yourself, and don't give up when times get bad!

    I love brain rules, it's a good book. You also have a good lens and great resource.

    The two books that have literally changed the course of my life are: Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill and Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham and Don Clifton. Both lead to new and extremely successful careers of my own design.

    I've read both Snow Crash and Zig's book(s) - fabulous indeed, but not as earth shaking for me as the two I've listed. Brain Rules by John Medina was thought provoking and I look forward to seeing more from him in the future.

    Cool lens! I enjoyed reading it and would like to thank you for sharing the books that have helped change your life. Perhaps they can help change the lives of others as well. I'm glad that you found the courage to keep on going and find success. Congrats!

    Of course The Secret is a transformational book, but for me what predated it is reading all of the 12-Step Big Books. These books inspire whether you struggle with addictions or not. Hope you will check out my own journey to life change via The Eby Way too. Sincerely: Gary Eby, author and therapist.

    No textbooks...what a shock. My contribution is Budapest, a translation from the original but the lyrical prose was a change for me. I appreciated that the form and structure of a language was not a function of proper punctuation. Every broken rule helps to form the future norms.

    The Tao of Pooh written by Benjamin Hoff. Read at a very stressful time of my life. I open it's pages often to find great wisdom and insight into our life here on earth. I also love, The Power of Myth by Joseph Cambell. After reading that book you will never be the same.

    Only Darwin - but will add the others to my list. I received a pair of leather moleskines for Christmas last year - a fabulous gift!

    Seth always delivers fab content in a near-haiku style. I'll be lifting his quotes and reading these books on the double!

    Now I've got to go make one of my own like this!
