Yesterday while taking my usual walk I was listening to the audiobook As a man thinks. I couldn't wait to finish it. I couldn't see a way to get home to remove my headphones. What's more, it damaged my ride.
It is one of the most important books on motivation. However, there is a small detail. It is a book that was published in 1903. It is true that there are old books that do not lose strength over the years, they even gain in virtues. As a man thinks not that it has lost strength. What happens is that it has been "plagiarized" by almost all books on motivation.
In my life I have read many self-help and motivational books. After so long, very few books would stand out. This is why after hearing As a man thinks I found it repetitive ad nauseam. It is very well written and says very important things but the main idea of the book, with our thoughts we can change our lives, has been the leitmotif of psychology during the second half of the XNUMXth century with the appearance of cognitive psychology. The rest has been more of the same: the power of our mind.
Surely As a man thinks He was the pioneer in this world of motivation. The rest has come in addition.
We must allow ourselves to be helped since this way we will advance more in life, at some point in our lives we will need the help of someone it is in us to reject it, so we must listen carefully to the advice they give us along the way because there will always be a moment to put them into practice, ..
only we have the power to sink or to float, the life preserver is the teachings and experiences that we have lived which will help us to emerge in life to advance every day step by step without haste but without calm either, the Power of the mind is something very strong and thinking positive is that we are going to do well and we are going to attract things and people with good vibes and positive, accepting someone's help does not make us less capable of solving our problems, it is up to us to reject it or accept the good that they offer us either through an experience lived by another person or through advice or anecdote ……………
Do not let your mind dominate your body, try to find balance in those moments and you will see that it is incredible how with your mind you can heal many ills that sometimes we associate with health problems and it turns out that they are fears and fears hidden in our subconscious that we reflect and symptomatically illnesses, headaches, fever, among others and if we do not control it in time they can really turn into health problems, so control your mind and focus on positive and productive things ... the joy of your environment that people seek to share with you, not that they flee and evade you, that rather they are the ones who keep you a while longer by their side….
The best help we can receive is the spiritual help that comes from above, God is the one who moves everything
God does not exist, all religion is invented by man. If there is a god, it is beyond our understanding in the same way that a worm is not aware of the universe. (it's a parable). Many people live without believing in God and are doing very well. And many say they believe in God and are hypocrites and false. In all my years of life I do not know a single person who fulfills all the precepts of a religion.
God does not exist? God is love we will choose the way to go and do good or evil that he will always love us God equal to love is what it means we must respect each idea of each but it seems to me a lack of respect for what has come life and then seek help in these places people like you will not exist for you but whoever has love all surgr

Hello Ninoska, if I had to choose one it would be this: "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl.
A greeting.
