Think and Grow Rich

It would be great to just think and then grow rich, but unfortunately that is not the case. However this book takes the art of growing rich to the full term, having spent years putting this information together, the author created an all time bestseller.

Think and Grow Rich


Napoleon Hill





















A truly fantastic book, everyone should have a copy, and not only that, this is what should be taught in schools because if it was the world would be a different place.

This is not a short read and some of it needs to be studied rather than just skipped over, but it is worth every word that it contains and has the power to change anyone that takes it seriously. This book was written over a 25 year span and the author painstakingly interviewed the top business people over those years to discover if there was any pattern to success and fortune.

That long journey was worth the effort and time it took to produce what can only be described as a work of art. The likes of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison are among those that the author spent time with and learnt from for the purpose of sharing with the world how these kings of industry made their fortunes.

First published in 1937, this book is the ultimate bestseller in this field and has put many a person on the road to riches.

As A Man Thinketh

This is a book that will touch your heart, it's not a long read, in fact it is pretty short, but it packs a punch and is not bulked out with information that does not need to be there.

So What is the book?

As A Man Thinketh


James Allen






















If you want a book to be direct and to the point, then this is a short read that will leave you thinking about your life and how you can change it for the better, it carries a timeless message. The message basically tells us that how we think can influence our lives, and what we believe deep down in our hearts is who we actually are.

The book although short can be a slower read than most books because the language it uses, being old style language which is present even in the title. But don't let this put you off, because the message is worth the little extra work of re-reading sections that at first may not sink in.

This book is an inspiration and you could even say a guide of how to think and live your life for optimal fulfillment. This book serves well as a foundation to learning more about how our lives work and what part we can play in the happiness and success of our own futures.

A book that deserves to be part of anyone's collection, and worth reading again and again to keep things in perspective.

The Book Picker


The Book Picker is a simple blog that picks books and then reviews them, to give the reader an insight into the book in question.

It is a blog that will expand over time, but there is no rush to get as many books on here as possible. It's about quality of content not quantity and this will of course take some time. There will be different genres that are explored and there will be reviews from different team members, so there should in time be a good choice of books to pick for your own reading.

The books will be picked from Amazon as it is just such an easy place to go get them, and you have a choice of a physical book or electronic book, our team are split half and half as to which format they like best.

When a book review goes up here on the site we will place a handy link to the book on Amazon so you can get it straight away if it is a book you fancy reading.

The Power of Books


The power of books is more than most know, we read them when we were younger and at school, but how many people continue to read books. They educate and they give us insight into life.

Just because we finished education, it does not mean we should stop educating ourselves, in fact once school is over we can choose what we want to learn as opposed to being told what we will learn. This can all come from books, from the old philosophers of ancient times, to the modern day thinkers that push the boundaries.

Whatever the subject you will find a book that has the information you want, and they will enhance your life. The more we learn about life the more we understand it, and the more we can embrace it and change it to our own design.

Reading keeps our brains active and expands the mind, it is good for our health and well being, and you never know where reading will take you, from fiction to fact, the possibilities are endless.

They say knowledge is power, and books hold the knowledge which should show you just how powerful books are and how they can enhance your life.

Have you ever heard anyone say that they regret reading so many books? I don't think so.

It is time to commit to reading more books and finding just how much there is still to learn and how that knowledge can have a powerful impact on your life.
