These are books that have had a profound impact on my life in some way. Books I would recommend that others read at a time in their life when they are ready for them.

1. One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way by Robert Maurer.

I can honestly say that this book has changed my life. Since I read this book, I feel happy and excited every day because I know that I am moving towards all my goals (one step at a time).

You might liketo read about my experiments with the ideas in the book in the article The Kaizen Way – How to get past hesitation, fear and laziness to achieve your goals.

2. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

Another profound book that has helped change my life is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

The book talks about being in the present moment instead of the past or the future; about doing things for the pleasure of doing them, and not for the result. The path to enlightenment is very simple – Do one thing at a time. Don’t think about why you started the task. Don’t think about what will happen once you complete the task. When doing the task, focus on only the task and nothing else.

Eckhart Tolle convinced me that even washing dishes can be a path to enlightenment, as long as I focus on the task and learn to enjoy it instead of considering it a chore. A couple of months after I read the book, I had this amazing experience of happiness, joy and peace. This is one book I would recommend to anyone who is not happy and satisfied with their life and wants to learn to live at peace with himself.
