The Book The eBook The Book on CD
There are books that are filled with wonderful insights and motivation. They inspire us to grow, to take steps toward greater courage or spirituality or optimism or human decency. Then there are books that are truly life changing. They transform us. They alter our perceptions and transport us to new perspectives. Man’s Search for Meaning is such a book to me.
The author, Viktor Frankl, was an Austrian Psychiatrist before WWII. During the war, he was rounded up with fellow Jews and shipped to the Nazi death camps. His story is riveting. But more importantly, while incarcerated under the severest of circumstances, Frankel developed a whole new branch of psychoanalysis he called “logotherapy” or meaning therapy. He discovered that those of us who have a purpose, something that drives us, we can endure almost any amount of suffering. This is a life-changing book that I highly recommend for serious minded people.

Two books (and a calendar!) that will add joy to living as you digest the ideas their authors write about with insight and passion.
The Happiness Project: Gretchen Ruben, who’s also a fellow blogger, made herself a project in happiness. She personally began a search of those principles others claimed produced happiness, tried them on for size, and cataloged that journey. The Happiness Project is a great read filled with warmth, humor and happy-producing insight!
Happiness is a Serious Problem: Dennis Prager is a social commentator, a radio talk show host and author. His book, Happiness is a Serious Problem, is a serious book that shares his insight into the topic he says he’s spent his whole life studying. His book is insightful and is an easy read. His thinking is sharp and witty and easily understood. He says his primary goal in life is for clarity. And he delivers here.

Hi Ken,
A great selection of books. You might want to consider adding Psychopictography by Vernon Howard. I’ve found the book very useful over the years.
