Hi Craig,
I’ve just remembered one small book which is a huge positive booster, always makes me smile: The Blue Day Book, Bradley Trevor Greive.
Also the others book from his collection are great.

Hey Craig,

Thought you would have "got" my recommendation - Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth written by God and otherwise known as the Bible. The one book I simply can't live without.

Have a good one
Cheryl

Hi Anne C.

Yes, I enjoy liberating the Lurkers. They once were lost (in Lurk-dom) but now are found.

Or something.

I must be tired.

Hi again!

This IS great. I love hearing about all the books that have impacted your lives. Here's another vote for "Love Must Be Tough". I'm with you Tami, you don't have to agree with everything in the book to benefit from it. As the saying goes: "Just eat the fish and spit out the bones".

It helped me enormously many years ago when I was taking my first tentative steps out of an abusive relationship. And it made me take responsiblity for how I had contributed to that situation, instead of just staying in the victim role.

I had been an approval seeking, people-pleasing chameleon for so many years (what colour would you like me to be today dear?). Didn't want anyone not to like me. Quel horreur! It's actually a quite a selfish way to live.

This post sure has been successful in drawing out the "lurkers" Craig. Are you pleased?

C'mon Ange. You've read books. Tell us about one!

Hi Craig,
I’ve got a few books that I love and can’t choose from them (after trying to settle from a HUGE list)
1. Confessions of a Reformed Dieter by Ajay Rochester. She’s been there, done that and lost the weight whilst keeping her sense of humor.
2. Fattitude – Yeah, it might seem like a suck up, but at least you tell us the truth, no matter how much we don’t want to hear it!
3. Never Tell Me Never by Janine Shepherd. Autobiography of Janine Shepard, Aussie, champion cross country skier and tri-athlete who was hit by a car whilst riding her bike. How she dealth with her injuries and how she showed the people who said she’d never walk again just how tough us aussies are!! I love it. Down to earth and inspiring.

As for my fiction choices, well… there is way too many to list!!

Favourite autobiographicals are “Lucky Man” by Michael J Fox. I literally didn’t put it down and read it in about 24hrs. “It’s not about the bike” by our friend Lance Armstrong. What an amazing story.

Fave non fiction is “Change Your Thinking” by Sarah Edelman. A book about Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, do-it-yourself. Simplifies things that seem difficult and made me realise my reality is all about what I believe, which might not necessarily be correct!
