Kim,
I haven't read "Take a Peak at the E-Myth Revisited", but you asked me to review YOUR BEST LIFE NOW by Joel Osteen. I think it is an awesome book of encouragement and positivity. He makes you believe that your dreams can come true and helps you think the best of yourself. "As a man thinketh, so he is". I forget from where that quote comes, but I do believe in the power of our thoughts and our words. Joel has a portion about that. I think if we are feeling bad about ourselves or something, we need to lift ourselves out of that feeling into a positive one.
Another book LOVE IS LETTING GO OF FEAR by Jerry Jampolsky says that we have a choice about our feelings. My favorite way for lifting myself up is counting my blessings, which Joel addresses in Chapter Two of YBLN. He also says we must let go of the past and live in the present moment. In another part, he mentions gaining strength through adversity. Our greatest learning comes from our mistakes and disappointments. I also like the chapter on giving. Jampolsky, whom I mentioned earlier, says that to give and to receive is the same thing. With that perspective, it is much easier for me to give.
