=>Books and Novels for Self Help and Self Dependence -
=>Self-Help (by Samuel Smiles in 1859) - Indeed, "how NOT to do it" is of all things the easiest learnt : it needs neither teaching, nor judgement . Besides, readers do not care to know about the general who lost his battles, the engineer whose engines blew up, the architect who designed only deformities, the painter who never got beyond daubs, the schemer who did not invent his machine...
We often discover what will do by finding out what will not do ; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery .
=>The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success (by Deepak Chopra in 1936) - Imagine throwing a little stone into a still pond and watching it ripple . Then, when the ripples settle down, you throw another little stone .That's exactly what you do when you go into the field of silence . In this silence, even the faintest intention will ripple across the underlying ground of universal consciousness, which connects everything with everything else . But, if you do not experience stillness in consciousness, if your mind is like a turbulent ocean, you could throw the Empire State Building into it, and you wouldn't notice a thing .
=>How to win friends and Influence people (by Dale Carnegie in 1936) - Why not study the technique of the greatest winner of friends the world has ever known ? You may meet him tomorrow coming down the street . He doesn't want to sell you any real estate, and he doesn't want to marry you . Did you ever stop to think that a dog is the only animal that doesn't have to work for a living ? A hen has to lay eggs, a cow has to give milk, and a canary has to sing . But a dog makes his living by giving you nothing but love .
The Power of Positive Thinking (by Norman V Peale in 1952) - The vast tree of worry which over long years has grown up in your personality can best be handled by making it as small as possible . Thus, it is advisable to snip off the little worries and expressions of worry . Then with your developed greater power you will be able to eliminate basic worry ; i.e., the worry habit, from your life .
The Tao of Pooh (by Banjamin Hoff in 1983) - As anyone who doesn't have it can see, the Eeyore Attitude gets in the way of things like wisdom and happiness, and pretty much prevents any sort of real Accomplishment to life .
The Memory Book (by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas) - It's there in all of us . A mental resource we don't think much about . Memory . And now there's a way to master this power .

Sex uses every muscle group, gets the heart and lungs working hard, and burns about 300 calories an hour. "Regular romps this winter" could lead to a better body and a younger look, make hair shine and skin smooth.

Nigerians spend the longest time having sex — splurging 24 minutes on every encounter. In the global satisfaction stakes, India comes third — with 61 per cent of respondents saying they are fully satisfied with their sex lives, compared to a mere 44 per cent worldwide. Nigerians come up as the most satisfied too — 67 per cent, followed by Mexicans at 63 per cent. In contrast, the Japanese — at 15 per cent — are the least fulfilled. Indians on average make love 130 times a year, considerably more than the global average of 103. The Greeks, at 164 times a year, lead the most amorous life. Brazilians (145 times) clock in next, followed by the Poles and the Russians (both 143). Only 46 per cent of Indians report a regular orgasm. And two-thirds of Indian women say they are satisfied with their sex lives, compared to 58 per cent of men. While more than two-thirds (67 per cent) of Indians say their sex lives are exciting, 55 per cent recognise the importance of introducing a little experimentation, with telephone sex and massage included as new trial activities.
