Books By Byrne

The Secret and The Power by Rhonda Byrne are my favourite books. They teach very simple things in life with beautiful stories. “To create anything, to change anything, all it takes is just one thing, the power!” This thought is enough to motivate anyone.

Brando’s Story

I like reading autobiographies and though I have read many, I especially love the one by Marlon Brando called Songs My Mother Taught Me. I also like edgy books. I am not reading as much as I’d like to.
