Ervin Seale (1909–1990)

Several years ago I found Take Off From Within and Autobiography of a Yogi in a junkyard in Las Vegas. Strangely enough, both became favorites. Take Off From Within is an easy-to-read, straightforward, inspiring book that makes same point over and over again: It isn't what happens to you that determines if you are happy or miserable, it is what you think about what happens to you. This book made a huge difference in my life when I was right on the cusp of adulthood. Highly recommended.
