    I recently read the book Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand (?) and it was simply amazing. I was so inspired by this man true life story, that I often think of his life and what he overcame and accomplished to push me through my own.

    Be sure to read "Diet for a New America" by John Robbins. It's a classic and was very groundbreaking when it first came out. :smile:

    I just finished Jillian Michales Unlimited. It's pretty good. It covers the more mental aspects of going after what you want in life. I really liked how she emphasized the importance of meditating on the things you want in life down to every last deatail and how that will put you in a frame of mind to be able to pursue it. She made alot of sense in terms of defining what you want in life. I guess it would fall under your persnoal development category.

    Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver (and family) is a wonderful book about nutrition, and eating organic foods. It is written throughout the span of a year from three different family members, and includes recipes.
