Hello dear readers!

A large number of authors, a variety of publications, as well as the availability of books in free electronic versions make the process of choosing the right literature quite difficult, because the eyes run wide.
That is why we have compiled for you a small selection of what is interesting to read, for the benefit of ourselves.
Literature for inspiration
Books that help change your life for the better are not so common. Despite numerous promising titles.
The right book does not give advice on how to live on with clear instructions. It inspires a person to move towards his true destiny and realization.
Here is a list of what I like:
- Barbara Sher «Dream About» is about finding your true desires. And it will be relevant for those people who feel that they are not living their own lives or are acting according to some patterns. The special practical exercises collected in it allow you to overcome the invisible barrier of society’s influence on a person. With the help of which his thoughts, desires and goals are formed. It helps to understand yourself and return to your original, natural state. In which awareness of things that bring happiness happens automatically. It is aimed not at the satisfaction of petty joys, but at the search for deep meanings, deeds and passions of all life.
- Dan Wildschmidt Be the best version of yourself. It helps to understand the reasons why you are not in the position that is most beneficial and safe for you. Why the best goals are delayed. In addition to searching for the causes of negativity, this publication helps to bring new opportunities into your life for the realization of your own skills and abilities inherent in nature. By and large, this is about the ability to build your path according to the most successful scenario. And the ability to see unique chances in any situation.
- Chip and Dan Heath «The Heart of Change» is a collection of specific patterns that change in a person’s life. All recommendations are based on the latest research in psychology, sociology, and neuroscience. This guarantees the effectiveness of the changes. In addition to providing the most successful templates, Heart of Change helps you identify and change the wrong strategies for achieving successful transformation results.
As practice shows, even reading such literature inspires and motivates a person. Makes certain changes in the usual course of life. If you also follow at least part of the proposed recommendations, you will get a particularly noticeable rise in personal development.
Literature for Development
Reading exclusively textbooks and scientific articles can be unbearably boring. A scientific language that is difficult to perceive or a specific style of presentation can significantly reduce the amount of information memorized, as well as the quality of its understanding.
- Mortimer Adler «Aristotle for All» – the author explains the main philosophical ideas of Aristotle in a clear and modern language. Which a lot of people don’t understand. Even after completing the appropriate course of study at the university. The benefit of this book lies in the fact that it was Aristotle who wrote about practical and relevant things, bypassing abstract ideas. According to the author, it is from the ideas of Aristotle that one should begin acquaintance with philosophy. Analyzing universal human concepts and givens, such as life and its finiteness, the infinity of the universe and the power of faith, as well as many others. Mortimer Adler introduces philosophy into the life of every person, presenting it as a practical science. And not just thinking about abstract concepts.
- Irina Chadeeva «Pie Science for Beginners». It will help you learn how to cook, and in an easy and accessible way. Of course, this is a collection of recipes, but its difference is that all dishes are extremely simple in terms of preparation. And do not contain rare or complex ingredients. That is, you can start cooking in almost any kitchen. And in some cases, you don’t even have to go out for additional products.
- Robin Landa Sketchbook that will teach you how to draw. Suitable for those who, for the first time in their lives, pick up a pencil to study the basic elements of a drawing — lines, shapes, textures, and so on.
Such series have their own continuations by theme or with an increase in the complexity of tasks. So if you liked the knowledge, you can continue the exciting learning with the help of the following editions.
