What book or talk has helped you?
Hello! We will be reaching out to people to see if they'd like to create a growth path playlist on 7 Cups. These can be authors, experts, or influencers. People that are well known and people not so well known, but have something helpful to say. Any and all are welcome! If a book, movie, or TED talk helped you, then please share here so we can figure out the best way to incorporate their work on 7 Cups. Links to talks or books would also be helpful. Thank you!

Here are the top 5 must-reads that have changed my life:
Mindset by Carol Dweck
The Body Keeps The Score
The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robins
Captivated by Vanessa Van Edwards
Are You Ok? by Kati Morton
ALSO if you want any really empowering content about stories of those who have done crazy amazing things with their lives, and actionable tips to help you execute on your dreams, check out literally everything by Impact Theory and their sister company, Women of Impact.

I like your choices! The body keeps the score by Bessel van der Kolk was so eye-opening for me. Also Wherever you go there you are by Jon Kabat-Zinn
@tealbutterfly22
Great list.
I'm sure that this book has already been listed multiple times, but "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman gave me, a brute guy, considerablee understanding of relationships.

A talk on Primacy of Consciousness. Had a huge impact on my journey

Games People Play by Eric Berne is a must-read in my opinion. It's not a self-help book per se, but it's helped me more than any other book of its type because it opened my eyes to the repetitive, destructive patterns in my relationships. It's short, dense, and truly enlightening. I highly recommend it. It will change the way you see people and interactions.
"Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life" (by Marshall Rosenberg) is a life-changer for me. It reframes the entirety of conversation, with yourself and with others, from hearing judgement and blame to hearing feelings and needs. It's like looking through a window to the soul.
Everything, Everything
Novel by Nicola Yoon
its the best book
The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk has been super helpful. I also really treasure Sharon Salzberg's Real Love: The Art of Mindful Connection and Ram Dass' Polishing the Mirror.
Get Out of Your Head written by Jennie Allen
Vital Friends by Tom Rath. Very view changing!
The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron has helped me tremendously. It's woven into every day of my life. It's marketed towards people who wish they could just do the things they want to do, but, for one or many reasons, can't. She talks about God as being one of her biggest motivators, but if that's not your jam, she always is sure to be inclusive of everybody's beliefs: whether it's God, the universe, fate, your family, or simply the belief in yourself. The book is not just for artists: it's for anybody who has a wish.
