What's One Book You Think Everyone Should Read At Least Once?
There's always that one good book that's so good that you can't help but talk about it whenever you have the chance 🔊💬 to me, the honor goes to "Emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman!
"Emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman is like the cool guide to understanding your feelings and getting smart with your heart 🧠❤️ It's all about how our emotions aren't just random feelings, but they've got some serious science behind them. Goleman takes us on a brainy adventure, explaining how our emotional and rational minds work together, or why sometimes they clash like a superhero battle ⚔🤺⚔
He shows us that being emotionally intelligent is like having superpowers for real life – it's not just about being book-smart, but also about managing those wild emotions, empathizing with others, and staying motivated even when life throws lemons at you, making this book sits on my top list of recommendations whenever somebody is asking for one.
How about you? What's the one book that's always ready for you to recommend? Maybe it's a heart-wrenching romance that turns on the waterworks 💧 or perhaps a get-rich-quick business manual that promises to fill your pockets 💰💸
What's the title that's got you hooked?
The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz ✨
The tools shared by Don Miguel are based on common sense and shared with such simplicity, that the universal message underlying his teaching is easy to apply on a daily life.
Becoming aware is about being responsible for your own life. You are not responsible for what is happening in the world. You are responsible for yourself. You didn't make the world the way it is; the world was already the way it is before you were born. You didn't come here with a great mission to save the world, to save society, but surely you come with a big mission, an important mission. The real mission you have in life, is to make yourself happy, and in order to be happy you have to look at what you believe, the way you judge yourself, the way you victimize.
Most importantly, it reminded me that love really is all that matters, and that the only sort that really nurtures us, is the love we find within ourselves ✨

@ElenaDeMonaco My goodness, Elena, that's the most beautiful thing I've read all week! 😱🤩😵 I LOVE, LOVE the way you described the book, it makes me want to add it to my wishlist! It seems like a wholesome, heartfelt book, and I'm all in for it.
How has the book helped you with your personal life? Does it help you improve your relationship with yourself? I feel like the best kinds of books are the ones that urge us to take actions, so I wonder how this book has shaped your life, if done so! I'm all ears to listen to your journey of self-love and acceptance 🤗✨
@sweetnutella
@ElenaDeMonaco Elena, I'm glad to hear that the book has helped you tremendously. After all, it's always good to have something that you can turn to as a guide in times of need 😊 And thanks for recommending another work of the author! I wonder what The Four Agreements is about? And why would you recommend it? 🧐

@sweetnutella I love Daniel Goldman!
I don't have a mental health-related book recco as of now. But I would suggest everyone to read Hunger Games. It's a great story about the resilience of people in the face of oppressive regimes. A pretty compelling read!
@AskTara Hunger Games!! 🔥🔥 I haven't read the novels, but I've watched the movies and I must say I'm hooked. And since some say novels are better than movies, I'm curious just how marvelous the book versions will be. Do you believe novels are > compared to their movie adaptations? 👀 I'm down to listen to some hot takes if you have any!
@sweetnutella Ofc!! Novels >>> Movies. My favourite was the first book in the series. I couldn't put it down. It was full of adventure. I still have to read the final book, but I feel hesitant to because then it will be all done. And I'm not ready for it to end. 😭
I agree, the hunger games novels were hauntingly amazing!! I couldn't put them down at all and when I got done I was so distraught (in the best way possible!)
I genuinely cannot recommend enough!
(read it! read it! read it!) 😂
@sweetnutella DO IT!!
Good Morning Monster

@Banana123123 Oh, what an interesting title! 🌺 In what way does it change your mind about mental disorders?
The sun ans the star by Rick Riordan it’s my favorite book of all time!!!!!!!!!🤩😍🥰
@forcefulShip4663 Oohh, care telling me why it sits on the top of your recommendation list? 👀✨
@sweetnutella, I’m not sure why exactly I just love Nico and Will so much and I think it’s a awesome book that just shows their love story perfectly and who they are and what they are for each other in the darkest of times. ❤️😍🥰
@forcefulShip4663 ohh, would you say it's a romance book? I do not typically read romance per se, but the way you described it got me wanting to check it out! 😮🔥
Yes it is in a way it also has a huge mission/quest in it. It’s amazing!😻
Yo I jus looked at this picture and wanted to comment and say that bag is proper good 👌💯🔥🔥🔥
Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
@navyTalker73 honestly I have read this one! It would also be one of the books I recommend to people, though it can surely be a bit depressing.... Why do you think this book is worth talking about?
@sweetnutella
Well I think we need to embrace stoicism in our modern society. Where we are struggling with a lot issues and internet yk is toxic. "Meditations" by the founder of stoicism "Marcus Aurelius". This book I suggest you all to read. Its all about accepting the wrong things that happens to you. And learning from these things to prevent it from happening again. I mean failure.
How to win friends and influence people
Night, by Elie Wiesel.
Millennials & zoomers especially need to read it. I would include gen Alpha kids too but from what I've seen thus far, most of 'em don't read.
