In times of desperation, you may feel like giving up and in severe situations, people even
consider claiming their own lives due to thoughts that living another day may not be worth it.
Here are five motivational books you could read and quotes from their authors when you feel so low.
5. The Magic of thinking big
David J Schwarts in his book elaborates the essence of thinking big and far beyond your current
situation as the best means to ensure that you make it. Here is one famous quote from him
“Those who believe they can move mountains, do. Those who believe they can’t, cannot. Belief
triggers the power to do.” It is among the top motivational books to read.
4. The 4 Arguments
Written by Don Miguel Ruiz, this book comes in at number four. From his best quote, we learnt
that he teaches us to live in this moment and stop hoping that things of the past and come and
change the current situation;
“If you live in a past dream, you don’t enjoy what is happening right now because you will
always wish it to be different than it is. There is no time to miss anyone or anything because
you are alive. Not enjoying what is happening right now is living in the past and being only half
alive. This lead to self pity, suffering and tears.”
3. The Art of Happiness
According to this book which was written by Dalai Lama, happiness doesn’t entirely depend on
the situations that are surrounding you but rather your state of mind. Attune your mind
towards happy thoughts and automatically, happiness shall be part of you.
“Both these illustrate the essential point that happiness is determined more by one's state of
mind than external events.” It is among the top motivational books to read.
2. Screw It Let’s Do It : Lessons in Life:
Richard Branson reminds us of the essence of joy in our lives and he says once you no longer
feel the joy from doing certain things, it may be the right time for you to move on and try
something different.
“As soon as something stops being fun, I think it’s time to move on. Life is too short to be
unhappy. Waking up stressed and miserable is not a good way to live.” It is among the top motivational books to read.
1. Awaken the giant within
Anthony Robbins reminds us of the fact that we are more than we let ourselves be. It all
revolves around the decisions we make on a daily basis. These decisions will either nurture us
into being better people or only make us the same we have been all along.
“You and I have that same power at our disposal every moment of the day. At the moment,the
questions we ask ourselves can shape our perception of who we are, what we’re capable of,
and what we’re willing to do to achieve our dreams.”
From the pieces of these books we were able to gather, you can surely tell there's so much to
them that you wouldn.t want to miss out on. On those gloomy days when you feel sad, be sure
to check out one of them. It is among the top motivational books to read.
