SELF HELP & DEVELOPMENT

Autobiography of a Spiritually Incorrect Mystic- Osho

Osho was one of the famous Gurus in the 1980s who took the west by storm and was owner of 93 odd Roll Royces. Though his image was tarnished in the US and Indian media, he has not been given the due credit he deserves. He simplifies extremely difficult concepts in easy to understand manner. He has some thought provoking suggestions such as Communes that might not jive with everybody. It is up to the reader to filter the information. I strongly recommend this book and his main message is to MEDITATE.

Cured by Nature: How to Heal from the Inside Out, Find Happiness, and Discover Your True Self- Tara Mackey

I find Tara’s story very compelling and authentic. She talks about her journey from having various mental/medical issues to having a healthy prescription drug free lifestyle. It is indeed remarkable for someone, who was overmedicated and popping nearly a dozen pills through most of her adult life to make such a drastic change. It reiterates that Change happens when one hits rock bottom and accepts that failure is no more an option and makes a shift for the better with positive beliefs

She is the founder of Hay Publications, which publishes many famous authors in Self Help and Personal Development.

A Search in Secret India- Paul Brunton

Paul Brunton is an Englishmen who travelled to India in the early 20th century. He writes about his fascinating accounts of spiritual experiences and interesting people and healers he met along his path. He was a follower of Ramana Maharishi who know for his philosophy for self discovery- probing and asking yourself ‘ Who am I ?’

The Alchemist- Paulo Coelho

This is one of the best spiritual books told in non spiritual story telling way. Paulo was rejected initially by his publishers but then it just went on to become a global best seller. People like Julia Roberts, Bill Clinton and Madonna indirectly promoted the book as they were photographed with it. It is a fun read and highly recommend this book.
