Counldn’t help myself… books are good. Especially ones that help to feed a little need and some desire for self improvement. I consider those tools in life and worth a little spurge now and then. The wisdom, knowledge and enjoyment that you get from good, good books are worth the cost. And these are both keepers… no doubt. I could hardly wait, so I’m reading both at the same time!!!
Well, read one for awhile, then read the other, that kind of thing.
One is called Coop. And it’s about this fellow and his family and their move to a little hobby farm homestead and all. Very entertaining and not just about chickens! Although, they do figure prominently in there. So far, very good. Written by Michael Perry.
The second is called The Success Principles by Jack Canfield. He’s the fellow that wrote all those Chicken Soup for the Soul books and he’s also a prominent postive thinking kind of guy, and was featured in the Secret and other good books. This is a book all about the principles of successful people and how to adapt these things into your own life. Yes, I am pretty interested and working on some of the positive thinking aspects of life… I’m not so caught up in the wishing makes it so, sort of visualization is the only way, but I do see that positive thinking is the way to go. I have been seriously reading, learning and applying a lot of the principles in my life this last year and I had the best year I’ve had in MANY years. Unbelievable. And I very much believe that it was a total rehash of my thinking and actions that creating this new paradigm in my life. So, yes, I am really enjoying this book. I plan to follow and attempt the exercises in the book as well as enjoy the stories and examples of others who have found success.
Just a little update on a couple great new reads!
