Ive read a lot of them. Recently bought Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. Ive been reading a little of it here and there. Its not easy reading, kind of like the bible, but full of good wisdom

I finally got it after seeing it recommended over and over by so many people . I might try reading it in this squashed version instead lolQuote:

Most definitely dale carnegie. He was one of the early self help gurus. How to win friends and influence people!!! I found that book when I was 14 years old and read thru it with a fine tooth comb. One time I told my friends at school about the book, they all laughed. So from then on, that book was my secret weapon. Changed my life at 14 years old. I bet my old friends who laughed wish they had read that book now. lolQuote:
