Wake Up And Live!' By Dorothea Brande

Current reads: 'Wake Up And Live!' By Dorothea Brande

This book was written in 1936 and it's great to see it's still in publication.

If you're looking for a practical, easy to read book on how to find that all important happiness and success, this is a fantastic read, with writer's in mind.

The book states that it is the USE, not the quantity of your brains that counts most towards successful living.

It shows you to concentrate on the things that MATTER. Success means different things to different people. One might consider financial rewards as proof of success, where another may consider running a half marathon as their success. No one can really define success as any one thing, as it is a personal achievement.

Dorothea Brande teaches you how to not be overwhelmed by obstacles that grind us down and that success can be achieved by any one of us when we change the way we think.

I enjoyed reading this book and it's one of those that comes in handy as a little reminder on how to stay on course.

This book is available on Amazon in paperback at £5.06 (as of 04/02/2015).

Another book by Dorothea Brande that maybe of interest to anyone interested in writing is 'Becoming a Writer'. Also available on Amazon. I will be writing a review on this book soon
