Over the years I realized how different perspectives coming from different people can change our own perspective about everything, and, therefore, our life. The most important part is that we don’t even to know those people or directly interact with them, but we can interact with their perspective through their writings. Throughout my life, whenever I was in a tough place, the only thing that … Continue reading Top 5 Books That Changed My Mindset
I should say that I’m currently working on a new book, but if I’m honest, I must admit that I’m not working on it at all.

The bibliotherapist … Continue reading Bibliotherapy – The therapy through reading

Provided by Reginald Spittle from carryoncouple As I read Fighting the Inside Dragons, I was half a world away from Bogdan Ignat, but his book made me feel like he was sitting in my living room, sharing his wisdom in a casual, conversational way.
