Books that helped shape your views and opinions and are they worth the read?

 

I was always an avid, even ferocious reader as a child. Whatever I could get my hands on. This remained until my late teens, and then just seemed to fade away when I had children and no longer the luxury of solitary bathroom breaks let alone book marathons.

 

Until I had the fortune of being on an E-TV reality show, by Nedbank, called Its My Biz. Here this 30 something girl from Benoni was put through the ringer. She was asked about TED talks. About Marianne Williamson, Sheryl Sandberg, Dr Spock. She was asked what she feeds her brain and how these feed her business.

 

Since then, I have feasted on Paulo Coelho, Donna McCallum, Tony Robbins, Stephen Covey, Don Miguel Ruiz.

 

I have spent days discovering Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, and Maya Angelou.

 

I bought every single book recommended to me until I had so many I didn’t know where to begin!

 

And what I realised, is that the books and the authors that influenced me the most were people I met, or saw live.

 

The power of interaction, and energy, once again, was palpable for me. And so I would say that Donna McCallum’s ‘Fairy Godmother’s Guide to Getting what you want’ has been the most profound for me. being able to read her book, go on retreats, attend live classes, and online sessions, has really assisted me in grasping everything she teaches.

 

I am really a work in progress in all aspects of my life, but this one piece of writing really set me on the right path

 

Thank you Donna <3
