Good Reads

I read a lot of self help books. I like them. They changed how I perceive things and definitely made me a much better person. I think the following books are going to help through this weight loss jouney:

1. The Will Power Instinct
2. The Power of Subconscious Mind
3. The Master Key System
3. The Obesity Code
4. The Fast Diet

The above books are from my library.

I would like to read the below books in the near future
