 For anyone who has been studying personal development for any length of time, the name Jim Rohn will be very familiar. He is a legend in this area! Browse the non-fiction bookshelves of Amazon for any length of time, and you’re bound to come across at least one of his books.

 “Man vs Money” is just over 200 pages long and gives you a brief explanation of everyday economics. The book is designed with a number of illustrations (these were not to my personal taste; I didn’t find much value in them) along with various graphs, charts, etc to help the author explain the various concepts.

 Today’s book lesson is inspired by the book, “The Happiness Track” by Emma Seppala. This book had a huge effect on me when I read it, and I scored it very highly in my review. “The Happiness Track” contains lots of valuable lessons that helped me understand that I don’t need to be quite so much of a workaholic. Instead, the book looks at “How to Apply the Science of Happiness to Accelerate Your Success,” and here’s one of the key takeaways that I found to be the most helpful.

 “Eat That Frog” is an international bestseller. Even before I began reading and reviewing books, back when I owned the grand total of 2 paperbacks, I’d heard of “Eat That Frog” – THAT’S how famous this book is. What’s the concept? There’s an old saying that if you get up in the morning and eat a live frog, you can rest easy, knowing that’s probably the worst thing you’ll have to do all day. In this concept, the frog is symbolic of your biggest and most important task. By ‘eating’ it first every day, you’ll always get your key tasks completed, which will ultimately make you more successful ..read more

This book has been cited as “The most inspiring book on wealth ever written,” it has sold over two million copies, and it has a rather interesting back story… Originally, it wasn’t meant to be a book at all. George S. Clason wrote a series of Babylonian parables for banks which were made into pamphlets and handed out to customers. The stories were designed to help teach customers how to better manage their finances. These parables were a great success and were later combined to create this best-selling book. The most famous parable is that of ‘The Richest Man in Babylon,’ hence where the boo ..read more
