Lately I have been randomly receiving books, movies and CD's that have been very enlightening. It started about 6 months ago, my friend came across a copy of "The Secret", which is now publicly known due to Oprah - which is wonderful. But since then I have been given a copy of The Celestine Prophecy, The Millionaire Mind and a set of Tony Robbins CDs. I guess I'm at a cross roads because I haven't stumbled upon whats next. So I'm asking you...What do you reccommend?
