It's a given that people will face obstacles and have to overcome their struggles in the pursuit of their dreams. Become the Fire: Transform Life’s Chaos into Business and Personal Success is a self-help motivational guidebook by Elisa Schmitz aimed at helping readers to turn their inner conflicts into fuel on their path to success and fulfillment. Born to a Yugoslavian immigrant father and a Puerto Rican mother, Elisa always felt like an outsider. In this book, she demonstrates how being an outsider helped develop her situational awareness, leading her to become the director and executive editor for the Disney Interactive Media Group. She was a divorced single mother raising three children while battling health issues who found inspiration during her situation and built a successful company. The book also contains stories and interviews with ten self-made women from diverse backgrounds who carved their paths to success.

Highly driven people find motivation even amidst adversity. Elisa Schmitz's story of her own life and that of ten similarly empowered women is just the kind of book you need to read if you're an aspiring entrepreneur. Become the Fire teaches you to recognize the opportunities and seize them with both hands to fulfill your vision. You will learn how motivation plays a key role in manifesting courage in a person, just as resilience is the key to becoming friends with failure. Schmitz's writing style is crisp and concise, with the meticulous structural organization of the subject matter that makes for a smooth reading experience. A motivational and informative read.

Business author Paul L. Gunn Jr. looks at empathy as an important factor in business in his book, Succeed the Right Way: What Every Compassionate Business Person Must Know. This author has an ardent desire for you to see a pathway to success or change the way you handle business leadership. At the same time, it also addresses young or budding entrepreneurs to include the value of empathy in their business practices. As the recent pandemic has changed the way we do business, the book argues that connection becomes very critical more than ever. A mindset of caring while seeking success with empathy at the helm is at the forefront of this humble 199-page business book. It gives a solid rationale on the success of relationship-focused practices and how this helps to expand capacity and potential.

Empathy in business is an urgent clarion call. In an age where we are placed in isolation, it becomes incumbent upon businesses to harness creativity to better reach out to customers. Empathy is also the most important attribute of a leader to sustain their position of having people to lead. Of course, for most people, it doesn’t come easily, and that’s where this book comes in handy. Paul L. Gunn Jr. helps you to rewire your perception of this virtue. Contrary to some popular beliefs, empathy is not for the weak; it is simply an undervalued skill that Gunn Jr. wants you to tap into to better maximize your grasp of leadership. A definitive source on the use of empathy in business, Succeed the Right Way serves as an excellent reference guide to anyone who has experienced setbacks in business and management.

The Scar of a Miracle by Monica Gonzalez is the heartbreaking story of a young pilot, Martin, who survived a plane crash after suffering multiple burns that saw him undergo a physical transformation and later on led him to a positive transformation; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It is a story of love, faith, trust, courage, forgiveness, persistence, and healing, and will touch the hearts of all readers. Martin dreamed of being a pilot since childhood but the fire from this plane crash not only consumed his body but also his entire life. The book chronicles the various stages of his recovery along with his life story, how he survived the harsh consequences of the tragic crash, and how ultimately forgiveness, faith, and gratitude gave meaning to his entire existence. Martin's connection with an angel helps him over a difficult moment, which ends up making him a hero in the eyes of many people.

His angst, pain, recovery, and healing will leave readers teary-eyed, and the author gives glimpses into the spiritual aspects and realms that can actually help someone come out stronger from any challenges, adversities, grief, and pain. The story also helps readers to understand the meaning of immortality and soul transcendence, and the significance of the number 7. Martin also speaks about how the angels taught him that death brings life and pain brings possibilities, that absences bring company, and how they taught to be grateful by appreciating his family, friends, and acquaintances. The manner in which The Scar of a Miracle unfolds is fascinating. The spiritual undertones and Martin's experiences will leave readers awestruck. The fact that the narrative is based on a true story makes it even more inspiring. Martin's story is touching, positive, spiritual, and amazing. Martin's experiences and journey will help readers perceive life with a new outlook and realize how pain, struggles, and challenges are tests to self-discovery and connecting with the higher power and higher self.

Pay the Price by Steven N. Adjei is a book that inspires entrepreneurial success. The story provides statistics and stories about individuals whose businesses may have initially failed, but the entrepreneurs shifted their focus and tried again or pursued another avenue. It covers the importance of a potential businessperson’s mindset, recording successes and challenges, and things that are controllable and uncontrollable.

Pay the Price gives examples from Steven N. Adjei’s life and the experiences of other successful people to motivate readers to pursue their dreams and opportunities throughout their lives, even when it seems that all hope is lost. The author’s story is truly inspirational, as he was faced with financial and personal setbacks that have caused him an immense amount of stress. Adjei includes books, songs, and shows that inspired him along his journey, and he uses them to illustrate his points. Each section is followed by a set of questions to aid in retention and purposeful reflection.

In some parts, the book encourages readers to look more closely at seemingly failed business ventures and see the effect the businesses have had on the people who used their services. It proves that an individual may have numerous failed attempts at a long-lasting company, but they can still develop a fully self-sustaining business. Pay the Price would be a good book for ambitious entrepreneurs and students in business college. In addition, the information can be applied to most businesses across the world, so the text could be used in other countries besides the United Kingdom.

We all have areas in our life where we feel we have limitations and want to improve and some books make the process much easier for us. Surf the Seesaw by Scott A. Davis is one such book that has made the strongest impression on me. The book is divided into five sections that explore interesting themes: misconceptions about human nature, relationships, decision-making, parent-child relationships, and the meaning of life. In each of these sections, readers will find stories from the author's personal life and the lessons he learned along the way. They will also discover new perspectives on topics they might already think they knew.

Surf the Seesaw is not one of those books you only read once and forget; rather it is an inspiring guide you should reread often. I liked how Scott A. Davis wrote it by drawing on his own experiences, giving an original and unique perspective on the topics he describes, which offers readers a realistic starting point that makes it easier and more enjoyable for us to follow his reasoning. Many of the concepts are mindblowing and deeply surprising, especially the chapter about our species' superpower which completely changed my point of view. Reading Surf the Seesaw has been an invaluable and inspiring journey and I am sure many other readers will be curious to discover and read this incredible book.

The Courage to Stay: How to Heal From an Affair and Save Your Marriage by Kathy Nickerson, Ph.D., is a detailed guide to helping couples heal from infidelity. She immediately dives into this painful process of healing from the very beginning to the end. She offers clear guidelines and questions to ask throughout the process, individually and together, to reach healing. It was so easy to follow for both partners, as she labeled it the straying partner and the hurt partner. The questions she shared were very insightful and deep, pushing each person to be honest with themselves and their partners. The subject of cheating is always treated with sensitivity and great care. Many explanations of why cheating occurred were introduced, making the behavior easier to understand and forgive.

The step-by-step instructions by author Kathy Nickerson are meticulously laid out as if holding your hand to take each step as it comes, slowly and thoughtfully, through such a raw minefield of explosive emotions. There is so much emphasis on kindness and compassion that it makes this excruciating journey somehow better and easier. I love how Nickerson is kind and reassuring to both sides of the marriage at the end of each chapter as she takes time out to encourage each person. I learned much about how pain is the root of many bad behaviors. The Courage to Stay: How to Heal From an Affair and Save Your Marriage is an important must-read for anyone who is dealing with infidelity.

Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation by Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati is a real-life story of one woman’s courage as she embarks on a journey to a new place, a new language, new people, and a new culture. Getting out of one’s comfort zone is not always easy for some, as was the case of this Stanford-educated spiritual teacher who came from a well-to-do Jewish family and was raised in California. The author explains her experiences in a down-to-earth and relatable manner, opening up without hesitation as she talks about her life in India and how her husband became a fundamental part of her journey. She talks about the travails of her marriage and how she found enlightenment in Rishikesh.

Hollywood to the Himalayas is a deeply personal and honest book about being a spiritual woman in a progressive, spiritual land cleansing itself on social, economic, and political levels. Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati writes in such a profound way that you immediately feel a connection as if she is right in front of you. In a world filled with stress, pressure, and anxiety, this book encourages you to take the road to spirituality to find answers. Women will find plenty of common ground with Saraswati as she talks about her marriage, wanting to have a child, menopause, and empowerment. This book has no boundaries. It not only caters to spiritual seekers but also to those who want to read about practical self-help. This book will leave you inspired long after putting it down.

Embracing God In The Right Perspective With The Right Foundation Of Faith In Him by Chris Tham is a faith-based work of non-fiction that serves as a companion piece or study guide to the Bible, also known as The Word of God. The author seeks to share the words and meaning of Jesus Christ, also called in this book The Gospel of Light. The author explains how truth, power, and wisdom can only be achieved by realizing and understanding that people have a purpose in life, and it is to know who Jesus is and what He wants for them--salvation. The author explains that he doesn't want to disrespect other religions, but wants only to show how much more fulfilled they will be if they follow Jesus.

Tham encourages readers to find out their true identity, which is shaped by God and the gifts He gives them. When one fully realizes his or her purpose, according to the author, things like faith, power, peace, and love, can enter that life, as it has been ordained by destiny--God Himself. The author likens God's relationship with us as a father-and-child relationship, as He is the Master and Creator of all. Tham reasons that it is logical to find out what God wants for your life, instead of trying to figure it out on your own, or going in a direction that isn't meant to be. Whether or not you agree with all of the author's ideas, he does succeed in getting his points across. The Bible can be interpreted by those who read it, and if they read it for themselves, they can decide if they line up with Tham's book. I do like how the author places emphasis on self-study, faith, healing, and compassion toward others, regardless of their religion. If you've been looking for a book to help bring you back into the Word of God, or help lead you to it for the first time, put Embracing God In The Right Perspective With The Right Foundation Of Faith In Him by Chris Tham on your reading list.

The Financial Mindset Fix: A Mental Fitness Program for an Abundant Life by Joyce Marter is an important lesson that teaches you about the intrinsic relationship between mental health and financial health. It is a holistic program that aims to enhance your mindset around finances and transform the way you think, feel, and act, which greatly impacts the way you achieve your goals that ultimately lead to your success. Each chapter focuses on a particular mindset that you can study, analyze, and then adopt for yourself. As everyone’s financial situation and life conditions are different, empirical support is provided for you to analyze as well as exercises and tools to assist you in your mindset development journey.

Does the world need another book on mindset? If you ever wondered how financial success and mental well-being are correlated, then yes, because not all books on mindsets are created equal, and rarely do you find a book that addresses the connection between these two things. Joyce Marter sets the bar when it comes to addressing traits and ways of thinking that are relevant to how much financial success you can achieve. She writes in a manner that invites you to the idea of openness, of being welcoming to new experiences.

As The Financial Mindset Fix challenges you to analyze the possibility that what you have long believed to be true is detrimental to your success, it similarly guides you to re-align your internal control to steer you back on track. If your intellectual curiosity is pushing you to openness and embracing the idea that you can learn new things and abandon beliefs that don’t work, then this is the right mindset book for you.
