Gandhi's Autobiography "The Story of My Experiments with Truth" | TOP BOOK Reviews 🧠📚💭

Описание: In the personal development classic "Think and Grow Rich" it lists "Mohandas Gandhi's Autobiography" as a "Further Reading" recommendation.

Why would a business classic such as Napoleon Hill's book suggest reading Gandhi's biography, when Gandhi had no desire for money, riches, fame, or anything of the sort?

Well, if you're familiar with Think & Grow Rich, the book puts forth "the secret" - for growing rich, and achieving things in life - that everything starts with an idea.

Thought Power 🧠💭
The answer to anything and everything in life starts first in the mind.
Simple as that.

And Gandhi's story is one that drives this point home like non other.

His level of control over his mind and thus his body, is staggering, his diet is the most radical example of this, throughout his autobiography he details his experiments with diet at various point throughout his life.

Quoted from the book:

"I now pursued my dietetic experiments not merely from the vegetarian's but also from the brahmachari's point of view. As the result I saw that brahmachari's food should be limited, simple, spiceless and, if possible, uncooked."

"Fasting is useful, when mind co-operates with starving body, that is to say, when it cultivates a distaste for the objects denied to the body."

"Brahmacarya" refers to a lifestyle characterized by sexual continence or abstinence.
Which is another parallel with "Think & Grow Rich" - which advocates for "sexual transmutation" that is to say, converting sexual energy into energy of another nature.
