Cherie’s Favorite Books: “Mastery” by Robert Greene

Here is another great book which will benefit those whom are searching for their true calling in life. In “Mastery”, Robert Greene speaks of “childhood inclinations” and how you can use them as signs that you are on the path you were meant to take. It also offers good history lessons and is chock full of stories of both famous and everyday people down through the ages, whom chose to follow their hearts and their own true paths…whom didn’t let life take their focuses off their goals and whom moved on to enjoy great success! I even plan to read it a second time to not only re-enforce the knowledge I’ve already learned but to pick up the things my brain might have kicked out since I read it!

“Mastery” is for everyone!

I highly recommend “Mastery” by Robert Greene!

Cherie’s Favorite Books: Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People”

I read this book years ago during high school and what was one of the lowest points in my life. It was a time when I had no friends and I was having difficult relationships with my family. Feeling fed up with the direction my life was taking and at my wits end, I needed some advice on how to go about making the necessary changes to better my situation and would often ask the people in my life what I should do. However, either no one knew exactly, or they would refuse to give me any advice.

I finally took it upon myself and began my own search for ways to improve my circumstances during my senior year and that’s when I stumbled upon “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie in a book store, while shopping at the mall with my grandmother.

After my grandmother bought the book for me, I read it…HUNGRILY! I also read it in secret, often neglecting my schoolwork to have the time to read it and with a school transfer less than two weeks away, I couldn’t have picked a better time to read it!

After transferring to my new school, I decided to use what I’d learned in the book. When I began to put Mr. Carnegie’s advise to work, I saw very significant and positive change! I was able to restore rocky relationships in my family and make an abundance of friends! I even used his advise to win over several enemies! I cannot begin to tell you what a huge difference this book made for me! I have the most rewarding relationships and a very rewarding life today…a life which, 30 years ago, I didn’t think was meant for me! I love this book and the only regret I have is not reading it much sooner! Thank you, Dale Carnegie for writing this book! I would recommend it to anyone, especially people with Asperger’s Syndrome as I believe it will benefit them too!

I highly recommend this book!
