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!
The Velvet Rage by Alan Downs
"Many Lives, Many Masters" by Brian Weiss has helped me find enlightenment and find a purpose to life. This book is a nonfiction about a psychiatrist working with a patient in regards to her past lives she remembers and includes lots of wise quotes!
@GlenM Atomic Habits. And Dale Carnegie's books about stress,anxiety and success
Edit :currently reading -The highly sensitive person by Elaine N. Aron and is very good. It describes me when I was in high school and how other see me
Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine - I really connected with this book. And in the end knowing that we can make efforts and be happy before being 100% successful in overcoming our issues
@GlenM Think Like A Monk by Jay Shetty has helped me a lot. One should give it a try.
Empress Dowager Cixi: The concubine who launched modern day China by Jung Chang has helped me immensely.
There's nothing philosophical in it and there isn't even content related to mental health, but I found reading about this incredible woman and the trials of a turbulent period in Chinese history grounded me and reminded me that there is a present that reflects the past, and a present that promotes progress for the future.
I found "Just Peachy" by Holly Chisholm very helpful and relatable! It's a cute book with these cute and funny comics. The author talks about her experiences with depression, anxiety, and relationships. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it!
Women who love psychopaths. Inside the relationships of inevitable harm with psychopaths, sociopaths, & narcissists. By Sandra LBrown, M.A. with Jennifer R Young, L.M.H.C.
