Author - John C Maxwell. I read many work created by this author, John is one of my favourite author in Self development Area.

This book is very focussed on Attitude and its applied values in our life. He explained what is attitude, what it can do and what it can't do. There are quotes from many succesful people noted in appropriate chapters and context.

He took 5 major obstacles to attitude (Discouragement, Change, Problem, Fear, Failure), explains with easy steps to avoid them in our life.

50 things that really Matter

I am always attracted to small books with few pages but full of inspiring stories about others life and that leaves some good feeling in my mind. This Book is one of that kind.

This is the collection of 50 things that really matters to life based on the incidents of different people they have seen in their own. Each of them are explained with nice story behind it, explains how author believed they are important by experiencing it. That makes us believe we need to slow down in our life and observe little things that going around us really matters a lot.

I read one topic a day and it was nice to start the day thinking about, either i can experience that at that moment, or think about past occasion when I enjoyed that.

"Good starter for a Day!"

Few topics that touched my soul - Family, Motherhood, Friends, Quiet Time, Contentment

Talent is Overrated

Book Title - Talent Is Overrated
Author - GEOFF COLVIN

"What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else" - Caption is really Catchy and main reason for buying this book at first place. I would recommend this book for any Young Achievers who are starting their Carreer in any field. This book talks about the different Fields (science, Sports, Music, Business etc) that makes this book applicable for any body who is looking for some direction to design their own plan in work.

This Books starts explaining about innate Talent and unexpected facts about Talent, talks about world class performers in different field, what really made them achieve that high class performance.

Deliberate Practice - is the back bone of this book, talks about how to design ur practice, monitor and achieve results out of that. I recommend don't skip any chapters and also don't jump chapters.

Being in the software industry some of the ideas, methods are not applicable to my work, but still you can apply most of them in ur work.

Author Designed the Chapters in interesting way that makes you continue reading chapters one by one.

This book is one of good Self Improvement book I have read.
