 10 best motivational / inspirational books

10. The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.” 

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”


09. The Secret - Rhonda Byrne


“Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all the things in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at the never ending thoughts that come back to you of more things to be grateful for. You have to make a start, and then the law of attraction will receive those grateful thoughts and give you more just like them.” 

“There is a truth deep down inside of you that has been waiting for you to discover it, and that truth is this: you deserve all good things life has to offer.”

“You become what you think about most.. But you also attract what you think about most. (John Assaraf) ” 


08. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey

“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.”

“To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.” 

“Two people can see the same thing, disagree, and yet both be right. It's not logical; it's psychological.”

 Habit 3: Put First Things First
 Habit 4: Think Win/Win
 Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
 Habit 6: Synergize
 Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw”


07. Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill

“The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.”

“You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.”

“The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.” 

“Before success comes in any man’s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do. More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them.”


06. The Power of Positive Thinking - Norman Vincent Peale

“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.”

“The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.” 

“Stand up to an obstacle. Just stand up to it, that's all, and don't give way under it, and it will finally break. You will break it. Something has to break, and it won't be you, it will be the obstacle.”


05. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff... and it's all small stuff - Richard Carlson


“Something wonderful begins to happen with the simple realization that life, like an automobile, is driven from the inside out, not the other way around. As you focus more on becoming more peaceful with where you are, rather than focusing on where you would rather be, you begin to find peace right now, in the present. Then, as you move around, try new things, and meet new people, you carry that sense of inner peace with you. It's absolutely true that, "Wherever you go, there you are.” 

“Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness.”

“True happiness comes not when we get rid of all of our problems,but when we change our relationship to them, when we see our problems as a potential source of awakening, opportunities to practice, and to learn.”


04. Chicken Soup for the Soul - Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen

“Don't worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try.” 

“Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” 

“There is no right reaction. There is only your reaction.”


 

03. The Richest Man in Babylon - George Clason


“Advice is one thing that is freely given away, but watch that you only take what is worth having.” 

“Where the determination is, the way can be found.” 

“As for time, all men have it in abundance.”


 

02. Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki

“Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.” 

“You’re only poor if you give up. The most important thing is that you did something. Most people only talk and dream of getting rich. You’ve done something.” 

“I’d rather welcome change than cling to the past.”
