    Re: Your top 3.

    Hmm I wonder why nobody loves motivational books lol.. Being a freaking nerd my all time favourite is Anthony robbins 'Awaken the Giant Within' I will say it is a must-have-book for any human being. Why wait lazy bums, grab the book next time you pass by a store. I guarantee it is worth your investment.

    Cheers, Stay cool
