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!
@GlenM There's a ton I know. Brene Brown's Shame book, the first one she wrote; "I thought it was just me (but it isn't)" And her TED talks about shame. Also a lot of books on the site deep-books.co.uk, theyre very spiritual and I understand if people aren't into that but they just might help. Also "Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway" by Susan Jeffers. Also The Teenage Liberation Handbook by Grace Llewellyn is great for teens looking to set themselves free from school and learn the hard old fashioned way that really works and is rewarding, in their own domain of interest. Also Wishcraft by Barbara Sher has been a lifesaver for me and is a self help book that I truly recommend, maybe my favourite of all time (it was mentioned in the Teenage Liberation Handbook). It describes how to find your path your inner genius and let him or her or them grow, to create an environment around yourself as an adult conducive to that growth. Also there's a ton of TED talks I recommend like the one about how stress isn't a bad thing, it's ony bad if you think of it as bad, if you think of it as good and use it it goes away and becomes adrenaline, and the vessels of blood actually dilate in your heart, taking away all the negative health effects of the stress like heart failure and diabetes.
@GlenM
A book I've been reading, called The Book of Awesome lists down a thousand different things that are awesome. It helps to appreciate the little things in life that we often forget, for example, drinking a cold glass of water when you wake up thirsty in the middle of night. It's funny and quite a good stress reliever.
A video by Mufti Menk on forgiveness has helped me stand up on my feet again, after I thought God was punishing me for a mistake I made. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/gFM4r5oO-3c
@GlenM "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie was a life-changing book for me.
"A Grief observed" by C.S. Lewis
He talks about a loss that he went through and compares
it to "amputation". Those of us who lost a loved one whould know.
He never meant to publish these notes that he wrote or
himself.
@GlenM Hi, one book that is helping me is Chameleon Aura by Billy Chapata
Happy: Finding Joy in Every Day and Letting Go of Perfect
Book by Fearne Cotton
The Happiness Trap - Russ Harris
Wherever You Go There You Are - Jon Kabat-Zinn
The Power of Now - Eckhart Toll
The Subtle Art of not Giving a F*ck
It is actually a very good book that makes you think logically. It has helped me focus on the things that truly matter and has boosted my confidence.
@PatBateman06 that's so cool! I tried listening to the audiobook but haven't finished it.:)
Children of emotionally immature parents by Lindsay C. Gibson. Really made me feel less alone, and helped me understand more about my childhood!
Cicero - On the Good Life
