Inategemea na tafsiri yako. Lakini ukisoma The richest man in babylon anakupa kanuni 7 za fedha.. mathalani anakuambia tunza 10%, wekeza n.k... lakini ni wangapi wametajirika kwa njia hizo kiuhalisia 'sijui', lakini ukisoma Kochland ambacho kinamuelezea tajiri wa 11 duniani, na tajiri wa kwanza wa kampuni binafsi, unaona utajiri ni wa njia za dhulma, wizi n.k (unethical). So yaweza kuwa zote ni motivational, lakini katika uhalisia tofauti.

They take everything literally as if will workout for everyone and as if it was the only book out there.

There are questions like,Did the author became rich by their own teaching? . The few years before the book came out, he wasn't rich at all. He made his money from the book and his good marketing of the book. Even after being rich, Kiyosaki's company went bankrupt, this means his own teaching didn't work for him or reading only the book doesn't make you rich.

The concept like buying house/owing house is a liability cause many of his followers went broke and they are now homeless.

I enjoy reading Brown too. The Da Vinci Code is truly a fascinating story though the idea of the beloved disciple being a female is quite preposterous making the climax far from believable.

Who do you think was the beloved disciple Nowonmai?

"Christ loved her more than all the disciples and used to kiss her on the..." Dan brown~~ The Da' Vinci Code. The whole premise of the book is that Jesus was a family man and the beloved disciple was Mary, not John. Because if it was John that means Jesus was a gay.

But most important thing to remember it is a work of fiction. It's not historical accurate at all. The Da'vinci code contains a lot of blatant lies. I think it's fine if you are just reading it for fun.

According to The Bible, the book of John 21:20-25 ,The beloved disciple was the author of the book (John). I've attached the picture from my Swahili Bible.

You are welcome Mr, as you said "a lot to discuss" and not "to ask", I think I will also learn a lot from the discussion (our discussion). The floor is yours Mjuni.
 
Yah, reading bore too much for most of us, till I came across " Society in the dock" by Prince Kagwema. I cant explain its taste. Always it is in my bag.

Hi,

I used to think that reading was boring until I found books that really sparked my interest. Reading became important to me because it’s fun and it teaches me new things. It keeps my mind active and inshape and it makes a difference for me if I go long periods without reading books, my mind starts to stagnate.

My favorite book of all the time is East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I liked this book and I loved every page of it. To be honest this is a masterpiece. To this day still is one of the best motivational book I’ve ever read. I enjoyed it for the massages it provides. I have been reading the book and just got to these quotes “And now that, you don’t have to be perfect you can be good.” And “ If you want to be straight allow yourself to be crooked” etc. Truthfully this book gave me a little inspiration to pursue my goals.

Another one is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. It’s the funniest book I have ever read. I’ve read the book many times, but still makes me laugh. I will share favorite part that I found myself re-reading, you know, Said Arthur,” It's at times like this when I m trapped in a Vogon...... And about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I’d listened to what my mother told me when I was young”

“Why, what did she tell you?”

Arthur “ I don’t know, I didn’t listen”.
It’s so insanely funny and It reminds me that you shouldn’t take life so damn seriously.

Do you have any favorite book(s) you real like? Tell us about it, based on how good the book was, and why you think it was the best, what is the favorite part in it?

For those who don’t like reading, y'all should know that reading is the good way to learn new things, to see things in another perspective and to expand your creativity and linguistic skills.

Welcome guys.

G’day.

Kogut, have you found any actual proof in there? Or it just some man describing his brain's projections when nearing death?

I am considering reading this book out of curiosity.

PP, you have asked a tremendously valid question. It is impossible to say that, one can find any proof of heaven after just reading this book, nevertheless, it's a brilliant book to read.
Sceptics are accusing the author Dr Eden Alexander of writing his experience while he was in a medically induced coma and his comatose state was not due to E.Coli septicaemia as the author purports.
They go further by asking him to change the title of his book from "Proof of heaven" to "Proof of Hallucination".
 
reading has always being a hobby of mine.it helps me escape the reality and dwell into someone elses mind even if for just a while..ive read over a thousand books......nakumbuka mama alichoma novel zangu kama mia na ushuzi hivi when i was not perfoming well nikiwa form 3...sasa hivi inakuwa ngumu kidogo ukiconsider nipo pori na majukumu mengi but najitahidi kusoma once in a while.....favorite book ni African child by Camara laye

The 5am club by Robin Sharma.
All of a sudden I've became fond of his books. With due respect, I recommend this author for his intellect, and simplicity of expressing it.
