Books that inspire

So well said the Nobel laureate Ernest Hemingway that there is no friend as loyal as a book. Books are those good friends that not only are loyal but also inspire you to become a better person. Reading books increases your vocabulary, command over the language, improves thinking power and gives you enormous ideas and emotions. It is so that the publishing industry has taken a big shift in the last decade.

While fiction ruled the literary world earlier, recently writers and publishers have shown interest in publishing inspirational books for readers. Be it America, Europe, Asia or Africa, inspiring books are being published all over the world much more than before.

Like the rest of the world, India too has seen a big change in the publishing industry. A lot of biographies and autobiographies are being published to inspire people. Good is that many of these books are being adapted into movies to reach to a wider audience, which further increases the reach of such inspirational books. Calling Sehmat to Raazi and Accidental Prime Minister by the same name are few of the many recent examples of inspiring books.

Few authors like Rashmi Bansal and Robin Sharma write books on people from various walks of life who have inspired the world. The stories of these people not only inspire many more but give wings to them to fly, especially the youth of our nation. Publishers like New York & Jaipur based Maneesh Media have also taken the front to come up with inspirational books to motivate the youth. This publishing house, in fact, recently started their newsletter in which they have featured two personalities of tomorrow, AananyaSinghvi, an impeccable dancer, and Suchita Vashisht, an emerging sports star.
