Q. Do you have a favourite smart thinking book (and why that book)?
As a Man Thinketh by James Allen. I think James has captured timeless wisdom and if one lives their life by that way of thinking along it can have a hugely positive impact on their life. I think that there is not another book on the planet that can have an impact on someone thinking so much in so little words as this book. Every line has golden nuggets in it.
Description from Bookshop.org:
Originally published in 1903, James Allen's As A Man Thinketh reveals the fundamental truth of human nature: "A man is literally what he thinks." Allen's deceptively simple principle has changed the lives of millions of readers, making As A Man Thinketh a classic bestseller for decades.

As a Man Thinketh
Allen explains that our character, identity, ability, and success are all determined by the thoughts in our minds. Instead of finding ourselves victims of the world, there exists within each of us the ability to shape and define our own destinies. Finances, health, social status, and success are all external manifestations of the thoughts that populate our minds. Allen offers his readers an opportunity to seize control of their minds and in doing so create the lives they've always imagined.

Q. What's the most recent smart thinking book you've read (and how would you rate it)?
Young Forever by Mark Hyman. I’d give it an 8.5 as it explains the topic of living for longer in a way that is easily understandable, practical and enjoyable to read.

Aging has long been considered a normal process. We think disease, frailty, and gradual decline are inevitable parts of life. But they're not.
Science today sees aging as a treatable disease. By addressing the root causes of aging we can not only increase our health span and live longer but prevent and reverse the diseases of aging - including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and dementia.
