James Hollis’ ‘Swamplands of the Soul’ is a very good - if dense - read on many crisis issues with mental health.

Thank you very much.

- Mindset by Carol Dweck
- Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl

Sign up for Scribd — unlimited ebooks and audiobooks for less than $10 a month, and most popular self-help / self-improvement books are on there (only ones I couldn’t find were Attached and one other). It’s been great for listening while running or waiting at the airport and has saved me so much money from buying individual books

My gf (who lives with me) quit her job due to mental health issues a couple of months back.
I’ve been super supportive throughout. She’s a winner and a super talented person but she is lacking confidence as she messed up a couple of interviews. She has lost confidence to an extent that she’s blocking me out and isn’t willing to accept any help.
I’m starting to stress out (major) as this is affecting our relationship badly.

PS: She’s looking for Talent Engagement, customer success roles.

What would you recommend a healthcare consultant to do to establish themselves as an expert and to have better exit opportunities? E.g., would you recommend presenting at conferences (quite difficult to do with < 3y experience), online website with industry insights, YouTube channel, linkedin network.... Many of these are really time consuming, thus not sure if they would be worth it.
