Must-read books (PART 1)

Reading good books is the best thing that a person can do. It is one of the best ways to learn about things, it is also one of the best ways to knowing how life moves in the minds of the writers and it is also among the best ways to increase our own understanding of life. The art of reading good books is slowly dying out today and we blame our busy schedules but each one of us really needs to make time to read up on the things that interest us and intrigue us.

A book can paint pictures in the mind like nothing else and it is really the best mode of transmitting knowledge even today. We don’t only get knowledge from a book but feelings also permeate from the writer to the reader through books. Reading for me is among the most pleasurable things to do in life, I’m sure that there are a few like me out there, but more people need to pick up good books and read. With that in mind, What’s Up Human welcomes people to share their books and their reads with us.

Here are three books which I feel must be read by everyone. This is going to be part of a really long series of articles on books and books to be read, readers please do suggest your own books through comments or email.

Conversations with God, An Uncommon Dialogue: Neale Donald Walsch has written this series of books wonderfully well. The books in their entirety have conversational dialogues where the writer is involved in a conversation with none other than God. The first book of the series, Conversations with God, an Uncommon Dialogue was released in 1995 and since then the author has written 8 further books in the same series all of which have done fairly well in the markets. 

We all have had these little conversations with God once in a while, as a child or even as a frustrated adult but what we miss out usually in such conversation is the two way flow of the conversation, these books illustrate that fact well and also go on to address some of the most important issues that concerns us as a humanity. The first book, An Uncommon dialogue is one of the most well known books in the series and has literally helped change and gives shape to thousands of lives the world over. A MUST READ for everyone.

Chariots of the Gods: This masterpiece by Erich von Daniken is among the first books I read which opened up a whole new world of possibilities for my mind. The author’s lifelong studies of the ruins of ancient civilizations around the world come alive in a thought provoking book which really forces you to think about how aliens have visited our planet since hundreds and thousands of years and that these aliens are none other than our true ancestors. 

Facts that clearly point out that there were extraterrestrial beings on our planet hundreds of years ago and that they could be the ones who have been depicted by our ancestors as the gods who looked like men but performed miracles that they were unable to comprehend. Think about how if we went back in time with even the simplest gadgets and how they would think we are gods too. This book is the source for many science fiction stories and has hard hitting facts that are hard to ignore. A MUST READ for anyone who wants to know.

Who moved my cheese: This short book is a really interesting and absorbing read. Written by well known author Spencer Johnson, this small three hour read leaves behind impressions for a lifetime. This book has often been credited to changing lives instantly as it has very simple yet strong messages for everyone to follow and understand.

Change is always something that we are afraid of, even the smallest changes in our life take us the greatest efforts to make, and this book explains the joy of change and brings to life a story that we are all a part of at some point of our busy lives. This book is for everyone, even for the people who don’t like to read books as it is short and tells a wonderful story of how changes are important and how changes are good. 

A MUST READ for everyone!
