I just realized I read alot cheesy

Lol I've read no. 1 'How to win friends and influence people'. It has helped me become less socially akward and introverted. I've learnt the kind of topics to discuss with what kind of person or people, how to do it, bla bla. I was also able to make friends with two influential people with that knowledge.

For no. 6 'why you act the way you do', my ex gifted me that book 3-4 years back when my head was catching fire anyhow, lol til today I've not finished it. But it helped me understand my temperament better, and how to handle situations calmly.

No 9. Rich dad poor dad was gifted to me by my sis I think. It's a must read.

I've also read 5, 'Tough times never last, tough people do.' If you're suffering from depression, that's the book for you.

Read 7 too. And the rest I have as pdf but never got around to read them.

I'll also refer 'Battlefield of the mind' by Joyce Meyer, I've reread that book every year since my sister gave me in 2014 and Lord knows how much my mind has developed since then.

As usual,they're all American books and same moderators and @seun who won't promote Nigerian books unless you pay nairaland for advertising will quickly do free ad for American authors by pushing it to FrontPage and even promote it as if we don't have Nigerian books that deserve frontpage and are better and richer with life experiences we can better relate to as one growing up and developing in Nigeria.
Please,dear OP, when are you doing our own Nigerian-authored books sir?
