Two great motivational and inspirational readings, two complete different kinds of books and of course two very different kinds of authors. I love both of them, I have no favorite because they can’t be compared.

The first book is not the latest news on the market and teaches a method or a roadmap that helps to learn during down times and above all it helps to evaluate-validate our experiences. The second book is an ebook which has been published in the recent months, is a short modern parable quick and easy to read, is irreverent and very instructive to inspire readers to live fully, to find their life’s purpose.

I love "Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn" by John Maxwell. He explains how to turn a set-back into a step forward by examining the eleven elements that make up the DNA of Those Who Learn:

1. Humility - The Spirit of Learning
2. Reality - The Foundation of Learning
3. Responsibility - The First Step of Learning
4. Improvement - The Focus of Learning
5. Hope - The Motivation of Learning
6. Teachability - The Pathway of Learning
7. Adversity - The Catalyst of Learning
8. Problems - The Opportunities of Learning
9. Bad Experiences - The Perspective for Learning
10. Change - The Price of Learning
11. Maturity - The Value of Learning 

I love "The Lamp and The Light" because I believe it's so valuable to understand what life’s purpose really is and means, where it can takes us. Umair Haque explains through the story of a little lamp who can’t seem to glow, that the truth of our life’s purpose is most probably hidden in plain sight, that we can find it where we least expect it.

As I said, I love both of these two great motivational and inspirational readings.
