Re: Books that changed your lives - or at least made you think!
Like I say the first one kind of emphasises the whole positive thinking and how powerful it can be.
As an example I can be quite doubting of myself and abilities, however I can draw a bit. I had literally finished this book a day before my first art exhibition a couple of years ago (sold pics all over the world but never shown and certainly not been there to hear criticism!!!) There were 3 other well known Norfolk artisits exhibiting too and I was s*****g myself during the lead up - you know the whole I am not worthy issue!
I felt this whole wave of confidence in the way i'd certainly never had and believed it would be a success - I sold 3 pics at the preview and no-one else did.
Co-incidence? My style more appealing than the others? completely likely but I like to think that I had a hand in the positivity!

"Old man and the sea", an abject lesson in humility.

"Living and Working in Canada"
It has a lot to answer for.

In case you're serious I suggest that all you really need is a Yellow Pages listing a number for the firm Epstein Cole.

Have you read the other two? Playing the Modovans at Tennis (also brill) and something like one-hit wonderland. They are all hilarious!
