Susan Milner - Favorite Reads

So, I received a MEME from the fantabulous Lenn Harley over the weekend about my 5 favorite books so here goes…..


james redfield

  The Celestine Prophecy – this book almost wasn’t. The author James Redfield actually self published it & it later became a New York Times Bestseller. It’s a fantasy book about the different levels of consciousness & how everything happens for a reason. It’s a great read & if you’ll let yourself believe in it some you won’t want to put it down.

 

 



Wayne Dyer

 

Next, I really enjoy The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. If you haven’t read any books by Dyer I highly recommend this one. I read it first about a chapter a night. It’s about how what you think becomes reality. My business literally doubled during the time frame while I was reading this book. I’ve read it 2 more times since.

  

 



For anyone in sales or negotiations, I’m sure you’ve heard of & read Zig Ziglar. I particularly enjoyed his Secrets of Closing the Sale. Sure, it isn’t real estate specific but it’s a great book. He’s not manipulative but he shows you how to help others in a way that is critical to everyone’s success. It’s all about win/win here.

 

 



Gary keller Gary Keller

 

The next one is kind of 2 part, The Millionaire Real Estate Agent & The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller kind of go hand in hand. If you are a real estate agent & not building up a real estate investment inventory you should be. Gary sets a plan to follow in both that is realistic & easy to implement.

 

 



Dan Brown Dan Brown

 

Finally, one that is more just for fun. The Da Vinci Code. I’m sure many of you have read it also. I’ll be honest, when I first looked at it I didn’t think I’d be able to read the whole thing – it’s THICK! But once I got into it I couldn’t put it down. Dan Brown uses such vivid descriptions you feel like you are there. By the way, I read Angels & Demons later & found it to be great as well but very similar.



By the way, I have linked these favorite books to my favorite online book store - Amazon.com.

If you click through my link I think I’ll earn a few cents. If not, go check these books out at your local library or buy from your favorite bookstore.

Happy Reading!

Susan:

 The Celesting Prophecy is by far, my favorite book. I seemed to have lent it to someone, and never got it back, but I would love to read it again. 

The millionaire real estate agent is good too. It was gift when I first signed on to Keller Williams, in 2005, another I would enjoy reading again. :)

The power of intention is right up my alley, I may click your link and buy that one.  :)

Thanks for posting this :) 

Good taste!

Susan, I am one of the last people on earth to have read Davinci Code.  I picked it up at the hospital gift shop and read it during my mothers chemo treatments.  It's a great escape.  Riveting.  I read Angels & Demons second and was really disappointed.

Scott, I liked the movie too - what didn't you like about it?

Bill, you should check them out. I LOVE reading.

Wendy, definitely buy it. Like I said, I'm reading it for the 3rd time.

Sandi, that's neat how you added everyone on one blog. Very fun to see what others are into.

Chris, I was late on that one too. And I thought Angels & Demons was good but not pretty much the same premise.

Susan.  You're very mystical.  What is more mystical than Dan Brown and Gary Keller. 

Reading good books is a pleasure that we never outgrow. 

Thanks for helping out.

I read Angels and Demons too.  Great story!  Those ambigrams were cool.  Some of my faves are the books by John Grisham.  Have you ever read them?  Great stuff!

Hi Susan,
Looks like a good list.  I wish I had time for reading but do not at this point in my life--business, divorced Mom with a 3 yr. old-it's just not in the cards right now.  But I can dream of the day....................
