In the top list of the psychological books is
«How to stop worrying and start living» by Dale Carnegie. It should be mentioned that this book can be suitable both for teenagers who are in the bewildering road of their lives and for the adults. In the preface of the book, the author says that he has written it because he «was one of the unhappiest lads in New York». He tells us that he was sick with worry because he hated the way he lived and his position in life. The book is aimed at leading the reader to a more beautiful and happy life and to throw away cares. 

«One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off leaving. We are all dreaming of some magical Rose Garden over the horizon — instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today», says Carnegie in his book.

The next book to be mentioned in this list is, of course, «Shantaram», by Gregory David Roberts. The novel is based on the real-life events of the writer. The main theme of «Shantaram» is freedom, love, and friendship. The novel also introduces the intercultural contact and controversy between Australia and India. «But the soul has no culture. The soul has no nations. The soul has no colour or accent or way of life. The soul is forever. The soul is one. And when the heart has its moment of truth and sorry, the sorrow can’t be stilled.»
