Book Review: Who Moved My Cheese by Dr. Spencer Johnson

Book Review: Who Moved My Cheese by Dr. Spencer Johnson Key takeaways from this book: 🎁 Change happens. Learn how to deal with it rather than worry about what has happened. 🎁 Anticipate change. There are always signs. Get ready as the cheese keeps moving. 🎁 Monitor change. Smell the cheese often so you know when it is getting old. 🎁 Adapt to change. If you don't change, you can become extinct. Time and tide wait for none. Staying in the comfort zone, dreading change gets you nowhere. In fact, it is fear that prevents us to see greater possibilities. Life is too short to complain or blame others for our misery. The clock won't stop. So does change.

Book Review: Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus By John Gray What did this book teach me? 1.All people(especially in a relationship) don't react or respond to situations in a similar way 2. You need to respect & accept the dualities (+ve, -ve) of ur partner, so that love has a chance to blossom 3. It gives Awareness about how the opposite sex behave (both ). What're the primary needs of men n women 4. How to give and receive unconditional love. You can do this by making small changes & without any sacrifice to yourself (character). There are many more and it's hard to express here, so better you experience your own. I really appreciate how John Gary has clearly explained the complex thing in a simple way(metamorphs, examples) Note:-No matter, who you're (single or married ) I suggest you go through this book at least once in your lifetime.

Book Review - A Love So Special: A Tale of Love and Determination

Image
A Love So Special: A Tale of Love and Determination One of the best books I have read so far. It is close to my heart now. While reading, I would just get lost in the imaginary world of Nikhil and Raghu. Nikhil's character looks real-life father who may not have superpowers but can do anything for his kids. Love has many forms and the writer (Deepak Srivastava) has done justice with all types of love father-son, mother-son, sister-brother, love from unknown people, etc. He has captured the real emotion of a father-son relationship. Kudos 👏👏 People of every age can connect to the story. I told it to my mom and she liked it. 3rd chapter is best, my 6yr old son ( GATIK ) liked it very much. Few chapters made me cry as well. This is really a good book. Good movie material. Click to buy
