What better time than now to gather all the techniques you’ve learned with us and start putting them into practice… with a few books that are not to be missed. In case you need a little help, here’s an introduction to speed reading . Today I want to share with you some that I liked and that may brighten up your summer since the Agile Reading team will also be on vacation.
1. The Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman
On many occasions we focus so much on developing extraordinary skills with which to be able to stand out, thinking that this will solve our problems, that we forget the big ‘why’. Having everything does not even remotely mean being happy.
This extraordinary book guides you through what it means to be human and how to achieve the happiness we so crave and that, on many occasions, we ourselves deny ourselves without realizing it How personal goals can both help us and distract us from the primary lesson: enjoying the only life we are going to live.
2. Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift
This classic, which has been adapted for the big screen, into television series, nd even into a radio format, remains a masterpiece suitable for all ages. Younger readers can enjoy age-appropriate adaptations, traveling through imaginary and surreal worlds . Older readers, in turn, can discover and appreciate the criticism and depth of a text that revrevolutionizede the 18th century as soon as it was published, with a satirical and funny touch.
Join Gulliver aboard the Antelope to visit Lilliput, Brobdingnag, and many other places, exploring the problems of a very conflictive Europe at that tie.
3. The Power of the Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy
What is the true power of an idea? Do you think your subconscious would be capable of carrying out anything?
Our mind absorbs thousands of ideas during a lifetime and executes them even if we don’t realize it. Even notions that are ‘false’, cause a result. Thus, with the appropriate ideas we could unleash an immense power that would help us achieve any type of goal or objective. We just have to understand how we work and the obstacles we put on ourselves.
4. The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo
An inspirational book about personal search and effort to achieve what our soul most desires and makes us human. It follows the adventures of a young Andalusian shepherd who, after a strange dream that he cannot explain, has a conversation with someone who claims to be the king of Salem. He is so intrigued by this that he decides to embark on a journey that will change his life as he tries to find his Legend.
5. Stardust Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman is known for his bizarre stories and tales for children and adults, usually with a realistic but unlikely touch. However, this short novel is an excellent example to encourage and stimulate the creativity of children and adults through a classic adventure story, but with a very different touch.
Experience a world where everything seems possible and where the plot does nothing but take unexpected turns in search of that happy ending that is always promised.
