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!

Few of the thought provoking and life changing books I've read are -
1. The Secret Letters of the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Letters-Monk-Sold-Ferrari/dp/006222607X . There are 9 vital points described in a profound way in this book. I would like to mention these 9 points here so to give a bird's eye view. It includes-
- The Power of Authenticity - Embrace Your Fears - Live with Kindness - Make Small Daily Progress - To Lead Your Best Life, Do Your Best Work - Choose Your Influences Well - Life's Simplest Pleasures Are Life's Greatest Joys - The Purpose of Life Is to Love - Stand for Something Bigger than Yourself
2. Jonathan Livingston Seagul by Richard Back https://www.amazon.com/Jonathan-Livingston-Seagull-Richard-Bach-ebook/dp/B000SEH506
3. The Alchemist https://www.amazon.com/Alchemist-Paulo-Coelho-ebook/dp/B00U6SFUSS
4. Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts https://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Insecurity-Alan-W-Watts-ebook/dp/B005YNPBH0
5. Khalil Gibran Books https://www.amazon.com/Prophet-Kahlil-Gibran-ebook/dp/B07FSLC3BZ

The Prophet is a brilliant book.
Wonder, Turtles all the way down and Harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban...even though they're fiction and don't teach how to deal with negative thoughts, the first two make me feel heard and harry potter comforts my soul ♥️
This isn't a self help book, but whenever I get a bit down I go back and re-read a few chapters fromThe Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Funniest book I've ever read. And re-read. And re-read.
I'd advice "The Choice" of Edith Eva Eger. That one who survived Auschwitz, she tells how to become free from inner prison we created for ourselves, how to live as more positive person and how to get through various life circumstances at best. Hope my advice would help someone.

I'm Okay, You're Okay
The book is about what the title suggests. Along with many psychological fundamentals, the book deals with why we turn out the way we are and why it's all okay.
Mind over Mood by Dennis Greenberger is an excellent read.
