What “self help” books are you guys reading? I just read Untamed by Glennon Doyle and wow, I want to start from the beginning again, but feel like I should read something else. Would love any suggestions.

Nathaniel Branden’s Six Pillars of Self-Esteem was so good that I turned it into an ops model for my own life and still use it today. Made a tremendous impact.

The Power of Now was great for me in the past.
Now I'm older, I should read it again but am terrified

SC1, exactly.
I worry that an authentic & fearless me, would be nihilistic and detach from all society. Maybe it's true, probably isn't. But that's the fear. That I'd actively tear down the life I built... and that may be exactly what I need

I’m in the process of reading “Finding Your Own North Star” by Martha Beck - it’s really fantastic, but definitely not a leisurely read.

like

- The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck
- Hyperbole and a Half (not self help but a great read to know you’re not alone - I wonder how the author is doing now)
- How to Change Your Mind (great book to explore alternatives to get out of depression)
- Mindset by Carol Dweck
- Man’s Search for Meaning

Some books that also inspire me to make the most of my time on earth:
- When Breath Becomes Air
- The Unwinding of a Miracle

You described me before I read that book. I’m a very scientific person, so I was reading that book to try to get more info about psychedelics before trying them. I don’t know if it’s a book to “enjoy” per se,but it’s a book to learn about this topic. And I did learn a lot.
