The Greatest Miracle In The World
Author: Og Mandino

http://www.flipkart.com/greatest-miracle-world/p/itmdr8dksbywbgkk



Offering priceless wisdom to those searching for a higher meaning and purpose in life, this spellbinding narrative reveals exciting new secrets for personal happiness and success.

The Greatest Miracle In The World is a series of conversations between Og Mandino, when he was editor of Success magazine, and a fictional neighbour, Simon, an elderly gentleman, who turns out to be a ragpicker. Not the poverty-stricken and often juvenile ragpickers people encounter in their daily lives, but a picker of human rags - people discarded by society and dejected by their own lack of self-worth.

The narrative that follows culminates in Simon laying down four rules to a miraculous life, through tenets like Count Your Blessings, Proclaim Your Rarity, Go the Extra Mile, and Use Wisely Your Power of Choice. The underlying theme of Mandino’s book is that every human being is unique and because of this, no human being should feel like a failure.

Best known for his bestselling book, The Greatest Salesman in the World, Mandino stays true to his form of storytelling in this book. His books have strong Christian connotations and are written in biblical style. However, the content surpasses organised religion and may be construed as universal principles that help one lead a fulfilling life.


My View: Great affirmations which can form a habit of positive thinking.

The Disciplined Trader: Developing Winning Attitudes
by Mark Douglas (Author)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/01...ASIN=0132157578&linkCode=as2&tag=thebclblo-20



One of the first books to address the psychological nature of how successful traders think ~ The Disciplined Trader™ is now an industry classic. In this groundbreaking work published in 1990 ~ Douglas examines the causes as to why most traders cannot raise and keep their equity on a consistent basis ~ and brings the reader to practical and unique conclusions as to how to go about changing any limiting mindset. The trader is taken through a step-by-step process to break through those queries ~ and begin to understand that their very thoughts may be limiting their ability to accumulate and succeed at trading.

My View:A summary of the book in a page.

----

This list only partial... instead of grouping knowledge by books...
I would like to group ideas by authors... we can absorb ideas from youtube/article/books/talks etc etc.
In my mind I group knowledge by authors and their key ideas so the book list is partial.

Here is a grouping of knowledge by authors and ideas:

Nassim Taleb : randomness, antifragility, risk management (and for his anger and style!)
Ayn Rand : individualism and capitalism
Walter Block : Libertarianism

Henry Hazlit : economics, libertarianism

Robert Kiyosaki : investment and entrepreneurship

Van Tharp, Ryan Jones: Position Sizing and Compounding

Osho, Eckhart Tolle : About ego, meditation and mindfulness
Carl Jung : interesting psychological stuffs (such as archetypes, transpersonal ego!, dreams, synchroncity etc.)

etc etc.
