So funny...I have read most of the ones mentioned here. Love this web site! Dale Carnegie, Good, Rudolph Steiner Good stuff!, 48 Laws Good stuff, Alan Watts amazing stuff! P.S. Most of this stuff is available in audio form downloadable for free if you look long enough. If you want any of these in audio,  message me and Ill hook you up. I have a fairly good library of materials.

“How to win friends and influence people, by Dale Carnegie. In all probability, the best self-help book in the world!

Hello, here is the book i am currently reading "48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene this is an awesome book and recommend for every one to read.

Basically what this book does is distills three thousand years of the history of power (historic figures like Cesar) into forty-eight well explained laws.
this book is simply awesome! :)

How I Found Freedom In An Unfree World By Harry Browne

Is a self-development classic, which offers a fresh perspective on a number of identity traps and outlooks which result in us restricting ourselves, and suggests ways to free ourselves in terms of finance, governance, and relationships.

It's awesome. :-)

Zen to Done by Leo Babauta is a very useful and short book on eliminating procrastination and adopting a more productive way of life.

I recently finished reading George Leonard's book Mastery. It's very insightful and I think it's a must-read for self-development.

dealing with trolls

yesterday it was the eurovision song contest.I went into a newspapers internett site (dagbladet if anyone is interested) and saw they had a forum for discussing the results (the results where coming in at the time). much of the forum was covered with the comments of two people, both trolls, one in norwegian and one in english. they where claiming that norway lost because we sent an immigrant to the finals (the guy was born in Iran but came to norway when he was just over 1 yrs old), and other…See More
