    Val has read a lot of nonfiction books and they have helped him throughout his life.
    It's quite an impressive list.  Take a look.

    Hi Val...
    It's great to see you.

    It sounds like you have definitely earned bragging rights.  Reading that many non-fiction books is quite amazing.
    Yet you went a step further and utilized the words within them into your every day life.

    Mind over body medicine & touch healing spark my interest.

    You also mention Erhard Seminars Training, which seem to be quite inspirational.

    Trust me,Val...we are all good at different things in life.

    The fact that you have read this many books and understood them enough to use them in your daily life is quite impressive.

    You have earned bragging rights.  So by all means....tell people about your accomplishments.

    Just like a mechanics brag about fixing cars and Writer's love to mention their latest book and the list goes on and on.

    Thanks for sharing this with us and letting us know a little bit more about you.

    I posted a link in the Word Prompt Article.

    Have a great day.

      A very impressive response by Val. A lifetime well spent reading a plethora of books to expand knowledge is evident.

      Oh, I see. I missed that point, Brenda. It was in response to your word prompt "Books". Now, I will go through it.

    Thank you, guys. Brenda, dear, you seem to have missed the part where I said how I was not really "bragging". Bragging would point at an ego's need, and I have satirized my articles and especially my "poetry" enough to hint at an absence of ego. And yes, I do trust you when you say that "everybody is good at something". It's all about where we are placing our priorities, and mine happened to be about advancing the quality of my life and my coping with challenges of living. A car mechanic may be an alcoholic, a chain smoker, and an overall miserable human being -- but he is great at fixing cars, where I am an ignorant.
    It's all so relative, and no one can really brag about anything, just be good at being themselves.
    Thanks again for calling others' attention to my article. Have a great day everyone.
    John, your words of praise are much appreciated. I wish I had your talent for writing, then I would have some more things to brag about, lol.

      Hey Val...
      I actually did see where you said it was satire and you were not bragging.

      You said you were being open and honest about how many books you've read.

      That is quite an accomplishment & worthy of bragging....just saying.

      Yet, I know you do these things for just yourself and do not need the recognition.
      You are humble.

      I posted the link this time.   It was late last night and I was tired...sorry I missed it.

      It's great to hear that you read so many books, Valkaras. You went through so many psychological and neurological volumes of books. They are much beneficial for improving our brain power and control on all life issues.

    Vankatrachari, thank you for such a nice comment. Yes, those books have made the whole difference in ways how I am processing inner and outer reality.

    Sorry,  Venkatachari, I realized too late that I had misspelled your name.

      No Sorries, Dear. It doesn't matter. Even I can spell names wrong.
      I am late viewing your comments. I didn't realize I had notifications when I was browsing HP. My best wishes to you.

    Hi Val,

    Yours is the best reason for reading: education about what is of interest to you.  It seems you have done a good job of it.  Thanks Brenda for your word prompt, and the many interesting responses.
