You’re probably familiar with the concept of six degrees of separation, whereby you and everyone on the planet can be connected through a chain of no more than five intermediaries.

Most Inspirational Books
There are some books that you read through to kill time on a beach or on an airplane. Then there are other pieces of literature that change your life forever. Tales of loss, life, and empowerment are what make these novels some of the most inspirational books for women. Lean In offers advice on how to be a female leader in a male driven workforce, Prozac Nation is an honest autobiography about dealing with depression, and Americanah depicts a fictional story exploring race and identity surrounding a Nigerian woman in the US. If you haven't read these books yet, you're missing out on some wisdom and inspiration. These literary works of art have been given many honors from the New York Times Bestseller List to the Pulitzer Prize Award for Fiction. The stories in these inspirational books will (and already have) transcend through the test of time, connecting people and inspiring, one page at a time.

Charlie Sheen is the most recent celebrity to reveal that he is suffering from a very serious illness. On November 17th, 2015, the fifty-year-old visited the Today Show to reveal that he has contracted HIV. "It's a hard three letters to absorb,” he told interviewer Matt Lauer. “It's a turning point in one's life.”
