I believe this book shows you the entire struggle of an entrepreneur from the ideation phase to execution. The personal story of the founder of Nike is an inspiring lesson for thousands of people around the world. Moreover, it teaches you to never give up on your ideas and how to turn your idea into a successful business. Coming from the owner of one of the largest shoe brands, this book gives you a complete insight into becoming an entrepreneur and encourages you to take a leap of faith in life. I read this book during my high school days but the struggle of Phil Knight has stayed with me during my entire life. It encouraged me to believe in my idea and turn it into a successful business while being an excellent leader.

This book is really relatable to most people no matter if the person reading has the same level of difficulties currently facing or has faced. It depicts the abyss and the paradise and how people are capable to climb up from their lowest of low to their highest of high. The book not only conveys situational events but also discusses how most people perceive them and how to get out of those situations. There are also exercises that can be done to improve our thought processes and how we view life as a whole. Eckhart Tolle teaches us how to live in the present moment and not worry about the future or past. He teaches us to stop thinking about our problems and just focus on what we’re doing right now. It also conveys the significance of self reflection in our lives.

It’s a tough book to read if you’re not used to academic text, but Camus’ quiet determination to enjoy life anyway, even if the universe is indifferent and defies human understanding, got me out of my lowest point. There’s no soft hand-holding about how it’s going to be better, The Myth of Sisyphus just shrugs its shoulders and vibes.

What do we usually do when we feel low? We turn to familiar things for the comfort they offer. It may be a movie, a book or an activity. Well, Life Of Pi is one such book that can lift your spirits when you’re feeling low. In addition to that it will teach you a few life lessons and also make you question the nature of reality and certain preconceived notions. So the next time when you are not in the right spirits, find solace with an Indian boy from Pondicherry, stranded on a lifeboat in the Pacific Ocean with a Bengal tiger. It will never fail to uplift your spirits.”

Sometimes upliftment can come from something rather eccentric and nihilistic. Jonny Sun’s graphic novel, Everyone’s a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too, deals with our society and its weird ways. The story is narrated by Jomny, an alien who is not good at spelling like humans. He is sent to Earth to observe their ways. As Jomny navigates Earth and researches humans, he experiences many precious things. The book is filled with quotes about friendships, love, loss, finding yourself, and more. The story provides comfort through the eyes of an innocent alien. You feel better and inspired after reading this sweet novel.

This book provides realistic concepts about life, and the first thing you’ll learn is that problems are inevitable. The book shares that we have to stop trying too hard and waiting for positive things to happen because as humans, we are bound to be wrong and make failures. Everything that happens to us has a purpose and meaning. What’s important is that we learn from them and improve. Out of all the things happening in our lives, we should figure out which ones matter and are important to us.

It’s about a woman who loses her job, and she goes through a lot of ups and downs trying to find a new one. It has funny parts, sad parts, and happy parts—but it also has that feeling of being uplifting even when things are going poorly. The main character is so relatable that you feel like you’re reading about yourself in some places, even though she does things like travel to Australia for work or have a baby at 38 years old (which I’d never do). It’s an easy read, but it doesn’t feel dumbed-down or overly simplistic. The story moves along quickly and doesn’t drag anywhere. And while it’s not something you’d want to read if you’re looking for something deep and complex, it’s perfect if all you want is something fun and lighthearted.

The Salt Path by Raynor Winn is one of the most uplifting true stories I have ever read and is a real tear-jerker because of it. Winn tells the story of how she and her husband lost their business and home in the space of a day, just before her husband was diagnosed with a brain disease. Instead of letting this crush them, they decided to walk 630 miles across the coast, and remind themselves of the natural beauty surrounding them. This is a book about hope and acceptance, and although it has some dark subject matters, it is very uplifting to hear her reminiscing.

Why? If you’ve lost faith in the American dream, and feel that the future isn’t as bright as it should be, or you thought it would be, then you need to read Steve Case’s book that explains and illustrates the way that a new breed of digital entrepreneurs have reinvented the business landscape and opened the door for others who want to pick up the baton to follow their lead. It’s an inspiring and uplifting book that reminds its audience that anything is possible, and if you can dream it, then you can make it happen.

You’d think I wouldn’t like reading books about weddings since I already get enough wedding-related stuff through my business, but I absolutely love them! One of my favorties that is a real feel-good story is The Christmas Wedding. As you can guess, it’s a bout a wedding that takes place during Christmas, but the family drama involved, and the way the plot unfolds, is really enjoyable, and will leave you feeling ready for the holiday season.

We live in dark times with climate change looming over us, and it is hard to find anyone to say anything uplifting about our current state of affairs. Notes From an A pocalypse by Mark O’Connel does exactly that. O’Connell puts his wit and comedic spin onto the situation of the world in a surprisingly hopeful and uplifting way.

It’s the definitive story of one of the greatest American entrepreneurs of all time, and Gabler tells his warts and all story without punching any punches or trying to brush over any of the less flattering moments of Walt’s life. It’s an inspiring story of a brilliant if slightly flawed man (and who among us isn’t slightly flawed) who proved that if you have a vision and you work hard enough, then you can make your dreams come true.

Varieties of Disturbance is a great, uplifting book. It is full of quick stories, which make it easier for you to read at least one every day. It’s also gorgeously written and really, really funny. You will find yourself laughing out loud sometimes. And even when stories get dark, you will still be laughing due to Davis’ incredible sense of humour and ability to explore the little things that make us flawed, special, and undeniably human. This is one of those books that will make you forgive yourself for being too hard on yourself. Some of my favourite uplifting stories are in this book..”

This book will show you how to enrich your life by viewing it through the eyes of a child. Children often see things with a clearer vision than an adult because their young age is not colored by prejudice and preconceived opinions. Adults tend to lose those traits as we get older, but it doesn’t have to be that way. With eighteen chapters (“secrets”), like, Be a Fun Seeker, Be a Beginner, and Be and Explorer, among others, Secrets Kids Know will help you get back to your unbiased childhood mind while entertaining you with joyous stories and fun-filled suggestions to lighten up your life.
