nycsunshine wrote:A good friend of mine loved Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom, so I decided to read it the other day and I fell in love as well. This book is about a man named Eddie who dies and encounters five people he knew in his lifetime before he is sent off to heaven. He learns things about these people, people who he thought were insignificant to him, but turned out to have a greater impact on his life than he could ever imagine. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to read a short, quick read, that's sentimental and inspirational.
Other Mitch Albom books I would recommend are: For One More Day, and Tuesdays With Morrie. He also has a new book coming out in some time September this year, Have A Little Faith, about a rabbi and pastor and their devotion to their faith. He gives a preview of this book in this YouTube video I came across the other day, which truly moved me, and I hope you will be able to enjoy it as well. You can find it on Mitch Albom's official YouTube page.
Another book I would recommend if you enjoy Mitch Albom, would be Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth. I hope this review helped!

For many of us it represents just a fascinating word but it is now a matter of general interest in several life spheres as ecology, political science, psychology, and it is the ability to withstand impact. At a time of economic crisis and market uncertainty the world of business is looking at it with growing interest.
Whatever you think, the question certainly implies more than a reflection and a lot of questions. Why does a person or a system react to shocks better than others? According to the authors, it depends from what has been '' resilient ''. Many of the examples discussed in the book explain what the negative or positive result depends from adopting or not this strategy: the US banks crisis of 2008, 4636 Mission born to respond to the humanitarian emergency in Haiti in 2010, are just an example of what authors quote.
The book does not give a recipe to become more resilient but it tries to explain which are the factors at the base of this capacity on more levels.
I think reflections it pushare really have a present value.

I don't recommend "The Secret" or anything about the so-called Law of Attraction. Yes, vision and focus can play a role in helping you to get what you want, but you have to work for it - visualizing won't work on its own. Set goals and work towards them - that's it. Save your money and your time for better things than books like that.
