Hello Steemians,
I love to read books. And I have really read some books, though. But, I don't just read. I choose books that motivates my head—books that put my brain to work. I'll like to seek recommendations on what books may be helpful for my next read. But first, I'd like to share some of my favorite books that I've read, and what I like about them.
1. Why you act the you do — Tim LaHaye

This is, no doubt, my number 1 book. It touches on my fundamental self. I love the way Tim analyzed those 4 basic temperaments: Sanguine, Melancholy, Choleric and Phlegmatic. The book really serves its purpose—makes you to understand your strengths and weaknesses, and makes you to develop those strengths and leave the weaknesses behind you. You also get do the same for others. Well, after reading the book, I guess I identify my primary temperament to be melancholic.
2. Opposites Attracts — Tim LaHaye

My second book is also by Tim LaHaye. I think Tim has a way of winning my heart always. A friend actually recommended this book to me after I'd shared the joy I received reading Why you act the you do. The book seems to demonstrate the 4 temperaments identified in the previous book. It proves that members of a temperament are more naturally attracted to the opposite temperaments. For instance, a sanguine (who is a talkative and an extrovert) tends to be attracted to melancholy (who is more reserved and an introvert), and vice versa. However, they soon get fed up of each other, and the reason for attraction soon turns the reason for despise.
3. 48 Laws of Power — Robert Greene

Sincerely, since I've read this book, I seem to interact better with people. The book do not only made to understand people better, but also made me gain their respect. I bet, this book truly gives you power. I got to understand after reading this book that true power doesn't come from the muscle, but from the mind (the brain).
4. Thinking Big — Ben Carson

When you read this book, you will quickly discover Ben Carson isn't a good, or a trained, writer. He was a neurosurgeon at the time of writing the book. And, the book seems to chronicle his childhood, that it's possible you may get bored reading any further. Then, I bet you'll want to read his inspirational biography. Besides, the helpful point was made in the 2nd part of the book of 2 parts. I particularly love the way Ben made Thinking Big his acronyms from the words. Must Read I must say.
5. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People — Steven R. Covey

I love to call this book a monument from Stephen Covey. I've lost count of how many times I read this book, and still not tired of re-reading this book all the time. I have learned some new habits from this book, and they have really been helpful.
I guess I have connected to some book lovers here. Do you love these books too? Tell me other books like these worth reading.
