You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay

I picked this one up thanks to the smart people book club. Right off the bat I can recommend it as the best stepping stone to self-awareness, improvement and getting to know yourself better. It’s got all the important tidbits from all the books and audios I’ve listened to so far. She covers all aspects of our lives, past, present and future. You get to understand a lot of your problems have something to do with things you’ve not got closure on or not feeling deserving. That was one of the biggest message in the book, so simple but so neglected. The table of contents will give you a better idea of what the book as to offer.

Notes:
- She talks about why would someone spend so much time writing a book. It becomes part of them and similarly why we spend so much time reading certain books.
- When theres is a problem, there is not something to do, there is something to know.
- Lots of self talk, self-analysis, affirmations and visualisations.
- The chapter where she connects the dis-ease/symptoms to the problem didn’t settle well with me. I need proof of research!
- Something about the next time I get a migraine I should masturbate even though I wont be in the mood… so I might get back to you on that one.
- Chain of events e.g. When you smoke you might be smoking because of the relationship you’re in. Soon as you stop smoking you realise it was a way to ‘ignore’ the relationship problems… etc etc.
- I found her story a bit too frou-frou for me.
- The day the book club met, Ester talked about her experience which gave me a missing piece in one of my puzzles so yay to that.

The White Tiger: A Novel (Audiobook) by Aravind Adiga

Story of a poor unique (like a White Tiger) Indian living the poor Indian life and how he became a success through murder.

It’s an ok book. You have to have an idea about Indian lifestyle and culture to get some of it but the book does explain all the different worlds pretty well.

Now theres 2 things that bugged me. 1 – Kerry Shale read the book in an Indian accent… why not just get a well spoken Indian… there are tons of them! 2 – Every time he said River Ganga he would pronounce it Ganja… which leads back to my first point!

So overall not the most impressive book but not bad. Big up Bratul Uncle and Nirav for the recommendation.

Born Standing Up (Audiobook) by Steve Martin

I got this because Dane Cook mentioned the book in his talk with Google. The audiobook is read by Steve himself and it’s like a memoir about how and why he go in and got out of stand up comedy. The thing is, when Steve reads the book he sounds so boring. It’s like he didn’t have the energy to do it, nothing like how you see him in the movies. So while it was the hardest audiobook to focus on, I got to know parts of Steve that I didn’t know existed. And because I was so disappointed with the narration I thought I’d go through his standup albums and works before doing this review. Well his stand up is not only funny… the guy plays a mean banjo. I mean proper banjo skills! His act has lots of props and gimmicks, lots of magic, music and the tempo is all over the place. And his heckling skills are great! Some other works of his include a couple of music albums where he mostly plays the banjo in the band. So the audiobook was the not the most entertaining. Big up Dane Cook anyway, I got to see another side of Steve Martin.

The Common Denominator of Success Speech by Albert E. N. Gray

Nutshell – The denominator is forming the habit of doing things that failures don’t like to do. So while the successful don’t mind going through the discomfort knowing that it’ll produce results, the failure gives up if it’s too much for their comfort zone even if they know they’ll get the results.

Some other points connected to the denominator are forming the habits mentioned. The success habits of achievement fall into 4 main groups:
1. Contacting habits.
So contacting those who need what you’re offering, instead of just contacting those that already want what you’re offering.

2. Calling habits.
So calling on people that can do what you want them to do but unwilling to listen, instead of calling on people that are willing to listen but not able to do.

3. Persuading habits.
So when you call on the right people you have to be able to make them see why it’s in their best interest to take the course of action, instead of letting them convince you that it’s ok if they don’t.

4. Working habits.
Once you handle the top 3 this one is a synch. It had more to do with study, prep, time management, analysis etc.

Habit and purpose play a major part it in too.

Acres of Diamonds Speech by Dr. Russell H. Conwell

Originally started as a speech delivered over 6000 times world-over.
Nutshell: Guy was living happily until he got the diamond bug planted in his head. This made him unhappy and so he gave up everything to look for diamonds. He ends up in rags and commits suicide while the person who got his land found the diamonds. So basically the diamonds are where you are, you just need to dig deeper around you and no go elsewhere to find your fortune. One part of the speech that really hit the nail on the head was when one person comes to a small town store asking for a certain product and the kid manning the dad’s shop couldn’t care less so he’s like we don’t have this product. Another person comes in asking for the same and again. So that should have been a hint to stock up that product in the store but kid didn’t care to know the customer or what was in demand. Anyway it’s a quick read otherwise and lots more knowledge either to reinforce or enlighten you.
