Don't Sweat the Small Stuff -- And It's All Small Stuff
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff--and it's all small
The author of the book had passed on and he left us this legacy. Richard Carlson outlines the small stuff in life and help us get over our pet peeves. It's an entertaining and revealing read. The chapters are short and it's a great book to bring along the way to work, especially if you are travelling in subways.

The Bridge Across Forever: A True Love Story
6F303FB42C28148DB427DD470F944F6
This is a novel but it's packed with a lot of Richard Bach and one of the greatest romance I've ever read. This one is a true love story. Must read & highly recommended.

What Dreams May Come (movie)
What Dreams May Come
I saw the movie first and then read the book. Some prefers the book but I do believe I like the movie best. What Dreams May Come entails not just love story but also parent-child relationship and teacher-student relationship (or mentor if you please). It is one of the greatest movies if not the greatest one I've seen!

Whoa, Sharrie!  Do we have a relationship expert in the house or what?! :P  I may have studied human sexuality in college, but I don't think I read this many books on the topic (I read mostly textbooks).  I've been meaning to check out the series that #2 and #3 come from, so I'll give that a look-see.  Thanks for this list! :)

#2 & #3 are great to start with. I've read #2 countless time but to really apply it in your life, it takes more than 3 readings. I think we are wired so differently that we tend to react instinctively that many a time we didn't realise how that affected our behaviors & others (esp. the opposite sex)! Well, I did major in Psychology in college and I've read more books than I can remember (including those by the Dalai Lama) if they are of interest to you. Self help is my forte, lol...
