I have always wanted to read Anthony Robbins books. Heard so much about him. He is THE NLP guru. I only have the thinnest book he has ever written - "Lessons from a Friend".
Last Christmas, I got an Anthony Robbins book as a gift - Unleash the Power Within.
All I can say is WOW. He is really good. Whenever you need to achieve peak performance, just need to get into the state. And to get into the state, need to have an anchor, a particular moment of past achievements.
Perhaps will attend his seminar this year?

Confucius from the Heart - Yu Dan
In all honesty, as a Chinese, I have heard lots on Confucius. All I know is, he was a very wise man who lived during ancient times.
I kept procrastinating reading his books, as I find them too 'deep'
A few days ago, I picked up this book, and browsed through it. Doesnt look that bad. And indeed it wasnt too bad.
Finished it in a few hours. Thank Goodness, the author interpreted most of Confucius works and makes 'reading-between-the-lines' simplified.
What I learnt from this book
- conquer yourself first (meaning, find inner peace), then conquer the world
- nothing has meaning to it, until you attach meaning to it
- dont be attached to anything. nothing is permanent
- there are friends for different seasons of life
