Burlar Al Diablo: Secretos Desde La Cripta (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
This book struck a deep chord and changed my life from the day I read it. Written in 1938, it was held back from publishing because of fear of the contents (ironic since this book is about fear). I do wonder if my generation is more ready to hear this, and act, than my grandparents? It's also interesting to note the societal problems from back then have only gotten worse today. Great read; I'm sure to reread many times. A very interesting book on the dangers of destructive and negative thinking, something very widespread in society today with catchy addictive headlines about disaster and promising more disaster.In order to avoid getting sucked into blaming the government, the banks, the rich, your parents, your boss etc... for your problems and taking control of your life essentially you need to:1. Have a definite purpose in life (to look after your family, accumulate wealth, help others..)2. Mastery over self3. Learning from adversity (don't give up after small temporary defeats, learn something and keep going)4. Controlling environmental influence (associations - avoid associating with people who bring you down)5. Time - giving permanency to positive rather than negative thought-habits and developing wisdom6. Harmony (acting with definiteness of purpose to become the dominating influence in your own mental) spiritual and physical environment)7. Caution (thinking through your plan before you act)All humans have free will, but we can't change the weather, the economy or much else. All we do have complete control over are:1) Our own thoughts2) How we spend our timeThink carefully, use your time wisely and see what a difference it makes
