These 14 Books Will Completely Change Your World View
Imagine what your life would be like:
- If you no longer had to be afraid of mistakes and defeats?
- If you knew what great achievements you were capable of?
- If you no longer saw obstacles and problems around you, but only opportunities and possibilities?
- If you spent your precious time exclusively on essential and meaningful activities?
- If you knew how many assets and resources you have without ever having used them?
- If you knew how the world really works and what principles and laws govern it?
Two people under the exact same circumstances can achieve completely different results, depending on how they interpret and perceive those particular conditions and situations for themselves.
Ultimately, it is solely our own subjective perception and the resulting reaction towards people, situations and events that shapes our reality.
Accordingly, a person’s individual perception and worldview has an enormous influence on the results he or she receives in the various areas of his or her life.
Therefore, in this article we have gathered some exquisite masterpieces that will positively influence your view of the world.
After reading them carefully, you will enter a new universe of wisdom, knowledge and enlightenment and never think and be the same again.

13. To Have or To Be?
– By Erich Fromm
“Having” is a form of being in which a person defines himself by his property and his possessions. It is characterized by lower attributes such as egoism, greed and avarice. This way of life is dominated by the constant fear of a possible material loss. This is because those affected believe that they will lose their identity along with their possessions. “Being”, on the other hand, is free of such worries and fears. Those who live in “Being” know that the objects and things they have are the result of who they ARE. And this is something that cannot be taken away from them. Through “Being” we are able at any time to reproduce the material riches and successes once obtained, after a loss – probably even to an even greater extent. In his amazing masterpiece, Erich Fromm enriches his readers with the precious knowledge and procedures of how a person can evolve from “Having” to “Being.” This book is a trustworthy companion in difficult times when we feel that we have lost everything.
