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!
Although not everyone's preferred topic... The Grace in Dying by Kathleen Dowling Singh, PhD., published in 2013. It illuminated some things I had not known about the process of death.
who moved my cheese by dr spencer johnson
is a witty&helpful book. i loved the way he gave a specific example to a situation
@GlenM
I find Inner Work by R.A. Johnson very useful to work with dreams and get an idea of what our unconscious is trying to communicate. I worked with it with my own therapist as well. I still have to apply the Active Imagination part, but I am very much looking forward to it.
Both of the books below I love:
The Untethered Soul by Michael A Singer
The Power of Now by Eckart Tolle
@GlenM
This talk by Brene Brown has really me a lot. https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_the_power_of_vulnerability?language=en It is about the power of being vulnerable. In addition I really like the children's book "The Velveteen Rabbit", and the book "Will I Ever Be Good Enough?: Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers" by Dr. Karyl McBride Ph.D.
Another talk that I find super helpful is this one on "making stress your friend" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcGyVTAoXEU

I'm with you on Karyl McBride. But I'm super curious about your thoughts on Brene Brown. What is it about her work that you find powerful? What does she say or write that speaks to you?
I've read some of her books and watched her ted talk on vulnerability but really found it challenging to connect with what she was saying. I certainly understand from my own experience, how important vulnerability is to the therapeutic process. So I understand the sentiment, but I didn't connect with her work. I know she is really popular, which is why I read her stuff, and I just felt meh, it didn't resonate. I've had a difficult time putting my finger on the exact issue that I was having.
I hope this doesn't sound like I'm confrontational. I am genuinely curious about what resonates with people?

The Ted talk by Brene Brown on vulnerability was really insightful!
I have to concur with The Body Keeps Score. Also, "It's Not Your Fault" by Beverly Engel.
The TEDx talk "Igen" by DR JEAN TWENGE
She tells how smartphone use has have many hazards and harmful effects.
I loved SuperBetter by Jane Mcgonigal. It changed my life.
7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Stephen Covey.
The Time Less Traveled.
I urge you guys to check it out and come discuss it with me. It is indeed life changing.
Have a wonderful day!!
