I like motivational books, because I like the go-getting American spirit - your destiny is in your own hands, life is what you make it, don't accept your limitations, jump before you're pushed, leap before you look.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things as well.
My favorite books are psychology, self-help, and I'm fascinated by Jung, by dream work.
I want to inspire through example. I hope my books motivate others to open doors and windows that will help them to embrace their own truth, light and joy.
The only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves.
Books are challenging and inspirational to me.
One of the things I have tried to do with this book and with all of them really is avoid that simple, easy, reductionist view of motivation and to show we do things for a complex net of reasons, a real braid of reasons.
I like the weight, look, and feel of a book. I enjoy turning the pages, and frequently scan the spines of my many books on the wall, each title a reminder of the stored information and creative thoughts contained therein.
Sometimes a book influences me because it winds me up. There'll be something that gets under my skin and makes me think that I can do better.
I'm not a guy who needs to read motivation books.
I like books that don't give you an easy ride. I like the feeling of discomfort. The sense of being implicated.
