#ErnestHemingway has always been my favorite, his Old Man and the Sea, has touched my soul and always filled me with new hope, while #HermanHess and his works have always made me question life and its purpose. Works of #OgMandino grips my heart and as he gives a powerful message in these times depression and frustration, while #RichardBach describes the miracles that happen to men and women in all walks of life, the power of our subconscious mind and creating our own destiny with it. #DanMillan is equally inspiring and he guides us through examples and techniques that he himself follows, while #PauloCoelho makes me believe that everything is possible through the power of perseverance and prayers. #RobinSharma is also a writer that I enjoy reading; his words are simple yet powerful and have always motivated me in my life.

Well, in life we all desire and pine for health, wealth, happiness, security, and peace of mind. But the elementary question is how many of us have achieved these goals? The writers represented in this book write to share with us different techniques, processes, or modus operandi that heal us as well as guide us in becoming whole and perfect

The seven writers belong to different creed, colour, race, and nation but ultimately show the same path. The philosophy presented by all seven writers is universal, indicating the oneness, wholeness, and universality of the path that is easily approachable as well as applicable to all human beings. Even though the opinions, views, and interpretations expressed by these writers are based on different spiritual traditions, they seem to have a pronounced value to all who have a spiritual outlook on life and its problems. Moreover, all these novelists have a wider appeal for today‘s generation, as they are works that penetrate the mysteries of man‘s inner reality and truth. All the discussed novels seem to have an undoubted and indisputable power to quicken the soul and inflame the moral zeal of all who look up to it for aid and guidance.
