What good inspirational books are there? I saw Dangdang Joyo. There are many. . Help me recommend some books ~ ~

When it comes to inspirational books, you have to mention the United States, so the authors are mostly Americans. Self-help books are very much like America, which makes people have an enterprising spirit. This is the case in the United States, which has become the world's number one power in just over 200 years. Of course, there are also places where they are "rich and heartless", but here we only talk about their enterprising spirit, putting aside other things and talking about problems unilaterally.

Inspirational is nothing more than teaching people to be positive, forge ahead, and even have the power to never give up until they reach their goals! To put it bluntly, it is to realize wealth and let yourself live a better life, which is what everyone pursues! But we must be careful not to create wealth just for the luxury life, but to be self-reliant; Then spare no effort to help others stand on their own feet; Spare no effort to expand and promote social progress, such as Bill, Buffett, Li Yanhong (if I remember correctly, being yourself should be Buffett's points in educating children, written by his son), and many people who do charity. This is the ultimate goal. These books all talk about this concept.

Here are some books I recommended to you. What I recommend to you is what I have read. I dare not comment if I haven't seen it!

The first book: think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill, who claimed to be the founder of American inspirational learning. As the title, this book is to help people achieve wealth. Many short stories (such as the invention of post-it notes, the birth of Coca-Cola, the origin of Wal-Mart, the birth of Sony Walkman, and the invention of supermarket trolleys) are all cases in which people get rich through an idea. It will be vivid and not boring. The author was invited by andrew carnegie, the first American businessman (the king of steel) to write this book, so his material collection is more authoritative and tends to the commercial field. If you are reading an inspirational book, this one is definitely worth reading! I am reading "think and grow rich" published by Machinery Industry Press, and the translation is good. CITIC hasn't read it. The translation by CITIC Publishing House should be good. Citic made its fortune in China by introducing western books, so it should be very authoritative. For example, the author of The Secret is actually deeply influenced by Hill's book, which mentions Hill many times and worships Hill. "Secret" focuses more on things above the mind, with stronger idealism, but it is also good-looking. I read The Secret first, but after watching think and grow rich, I personally think that think and grow rich is better than The Secret in both visibility and comprehensiveness. But it's all worth seeing. This varies from person to person. In Chinese, thinking is narrative and argumentative, and the secret is argumentative!

The second book: The Weakness of Human Nature by Dale Carnegie. The Chinese translation of the title is like this. Some publishing houses also compiled his advantages of human nature and the art of communication into weaknesses of human nature, giving 3 and 1. In fact, the content feels somewhat similar. If time is limited, read a book "The Weakness of Human Nature". I read Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences Press, which is not bad. Other publishing houses haven't read it, so they don't comment. It should all be the same. Unlike philosophy, inspirational classes are not difficult to translate. It's just a typesetting problem. Dale Carnegie is Hill's contemporary inspirational master, but most of his books are aimed at collecting civilian materials. After all, he doesn't have the support of the steel king, and there aren't so many important people for him to visit and collect information. It's all his own social relations. Therefore, his books are more popular, but they don't have the distinct concept of "getting rich" like think and grow rich. More is to teach people a positive and optimistic life, how to move from gloomy to bright, how to solve family disputes, how to love their wives, how to treat people, and more inclined to these contents. The weakness of human nature is the first inspirational book I read. At that time, it gave me a refreshing feeling, so the feeling was still deep. But looking back now, I don't think it was as enjoyable as think and grow rich. After all, the purpose of reading is to get rich first, and then help others get rich!

The third book: Rockefeller's Life Advice for Children was written by Rockefeller. This book is not well-known in the inspirational category, because it is not specially written by inspirational people. But with Rockefeller's fame (Forbes once assumed that he would be the richest man in the world if his wealth were converted into today's dollars). After all, he is not a writer, but an industrialist, so there is no doubt that his domineering style has a unique flavor. He began with a sentence: If I am stripped penniless and left in the middle of the desert, as long as a camel team passes by, I can rebuild the whole business dynasty in the near future. As the title says, this book is a series of books written for my son, and it is also written in combination with things. The article has something to say and character. He wrote down his life's experience in dealing with people. I am reading a book by China Overseas Chinese Publishing House.

The fourth book: orison marden's "Struggle Forward", I read an excerpt, so I feel that it is not completely written. The paragraphs may be compiled by the publishing house, and the publishing house can't remember them clearly. The author is also an earlier age, and it is a book that leads Rockefeller forward. That was a long time ago. But it should be after Franklin, because he quoted Franklin's example in his book. Let's talk more about Franklin here. He is the father of America. He could have run for the first president, but he gave up his seat to Washington. It also has the elegant demeanor of Yao and Shun in ancient China. He can face the throne without fighting and make sincere concessions! He built schools and hospitals, which really not only served the society, but also promoted its progress. In the eyes of Americans, it is a model of all inspirational. If the United States offers inspirational courses, he should be the father of inspirational courses, hehe. So his book The Wisdom of Poor Richard is also worth reading. He used to be a publisher. In his time (1early 8th century), he published a desk calendar every year. Every year, he arranges some proverbs and aphorisms and collects them in his desk calendar. This book was later collected from proverbs and proverbs recorded in the desk calendar for decades. I don't know whether this book was compiled by him or later generations.

The fifth book: The Lost Classic of Getting Rich by Waller Wallace was also very powerful at that time, and it was also a very idealistic book, but it was a bit extreme. I only remember that he wrote in the book: Don't read other books until you are rich. I can only look at philosophy like Schopenhauer who shared his thoughts.

The sixth book: Spencer's Who Moved My Cheese is also a classic inspirational book. It tells a very simple truth with a very simple story, but it is difficult for many people to do it. Moreover, its sales volume is very hot, all the rage, and it is also worth seeing in terms of inspiration. Moreover, the number of words in the book is not much, and it can be read in two hours, but it is not known how long it will take.

Just write some simple books first. The power you said, being yourself, knocking down the wall in your mind, is now lying in my bookcase. I haven't seen them yet, hehe. The key to reading such books is to do it. No matter how many books you read, you can't apply what you have learned. It is also disconsolate. After talking about American inspiration for so long, I finally want to mention our China culture. Our masterpieces, such as The Analects of Confucius, Historical Records and History as a Mirror, are actually inspirational books, just because we don't divide the subject matter into philosophy, history, politics, literature and inspirational as in the west. In China, there has never been a distinction between literature and history, nor between politics and history. What can write history is not outstanding literary talent and determination to move forward. However, great politicians and military strategists must also read through history, draw lessons from the past and be outstanding in literary talent. For example, the Spring and Autumn Annals written by Confucius and the Book of Songs. The Analects of Confucius compiled by his students is the truth of philosophy, being a man, governing the country, being king and being benevolent. Show Confucius' thoughts to the fullest. It can be called the world's first inspirational classic.

Then Chairman Mao, the founder of the new China. His knowledge, virtue and achievements are unprecedented. The paper, its poem, is magnificent; Its quotations are endless, classic and easy to understand. What is philosophy? Say something that 9 people in 10 can understand and 9 people in 10 can't understand. That's not philosophy, that's a riddle (don't get me wrong). On Martial Arts: When the President was studying in Changsha Normal University, he read the borrowed Minutes of Reading History and Geography under the street lamp at night, which is a masterpiece describing the rise and fall of dynasties and the general trend of geography, and talks about the history and geography of China. This had an immeasurable impact on his later military career. Ideologically, on the basis of Marxist thought and traditional cultural thought, he created a set of theoretical thoughts suitable for China, truly combined theory with practice, established a new China, and freed the people from exploitation and oppression. On personality, I use a sentence in his anthology to call it: if people don't attack, I won't attack, and if people attack me, I will attack. For some people, to work hard, Confucius' influence is useless to them. This is also called concrete analysis of specific problems. China people pay attention to you and give me a kick, and I respect you. They want me to give you a kick, you step in, you retreat, I will fall off the cliff and hit ya directly. Fight if you can, but fight slowly and use your head. As long as the national spirit is still there, it can't be defeated. Therefore, his anthology and anthology are also classics worth seeing.

After all, time is limited, and it's nothing from the west. After all, China's ancient books seem too systematic (systematization is bound to be long), and it takes at least a few weeks to understand an Analects. Books such as Historical Records and Zi Tong Zhi Jian should be read according to 1 year. It takes a lifetime to understand them, and it is even more difficult to choose books. Some publishing houses just mislead people. In the west, there are many envelopes of Christ, and the authors of inspirational books are mostly Christians, so writing books must be thoughtful and moral. And it is more suitable for the taste of modern people, short, flat and fast, but as long as it can teach people to stand on their own feet and establish a correct outlook on life and values, there is nothing wrong with speeding up. Extreme point can also be (it is the extreme of never giving up until you reach your goal, but you can only do it on the basis of meritorious service, and a gentleman loves money well), as long as it is not too excessive, do what you can. But it must be remembered that inner cultivation and temperament are definitely cultivated by unremitting study day after day, not by reading a few books or having money. Therefore, it is most important to form the habit of reading, read more books and read good books. Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous. And apply what you have learned. Get close to people who are stronger than yourself, learn from their behavior, surpass them, and then get close to people who are stronger than themselves. Finally, I wish you can choose an inspirational book that suits you, ending with a sentence in the chairman's anthology: "Read slowly to stimulate interest, such as watering sugar cane, the more you read, the better!"
