As a little girl I found my escape from the demanding perfections of the world into books. The fragrance of and texture of paperbacks from the school library made my day.
With the passage of time and improvement in the available conveniences (mainly digital devices) the rate and frequency of reading has reduced a lot. Yet, the tranquillity that I observe in their shade is incomparable.
I have inculcated the habit of reading for at least 25 minutes everyday and that itself has enhanced the state of my mind.
If you are planning to achieve the same, here are 5 books that have affected the course of my life in the most beautiful way.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
All those who have read this book, would agree with me that this book has worked miracles with them too. If you haven’t read this book yet, don’t wait any longer! Purchase it immediately! The book helps you manifest your dreams, drawing you towards them.
The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
Do you believe in the law of attraction? If yes, you should read this book to get stronger on your opinion. The book will guide you to achieve what you want to attract. If no, then you should definitely read this book to observe whether it works or not. I assure you, the results will surprise you and bring peace to you from within.
The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
The book took eleven years to formulate into what it is now. You can imagine the level of in-depth observations that are presented in the book. The author has covered all the stages and forms of life with illustrated stories.
Ikigai
As the cover page depicts, Ikigai is “The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life”. The book is based on a Japanese concept ikigai, meaning “a reason for being”. The word Ikigai is derived from Iki means ‘life’ and kai means ‘the realisation of hopes and expectations’.
The book taught me how to do the littlest things with supreme focus and joy. It helped me fall in love even with the things I didn’t like to do earlier. You should definitely put this book in this month’s reading list to enjoy your own world better.

It guides you to understand the powers and energies letting you harness them leading you to improve the quality of your everyday life. After reading the book, you will observe peace within yourself in an aware subconscious mind.
