what i’m currently reading: self help books!
Some of my favourite books to read are self improvement books. Not because I feel like anything is really lacking in my life, but rather because there are always areas that you can improve on. I always feel happiest and most fulfilled when I am learning and growing. Self help/business books help me keep successful ways of thinking at the forefront of my brain, and continuously remind me how powerful my inner thoughts are. It’s easy to get swept up in the frivolous things in life, and I find these books help sort my thoughts out and realign what I’m prioritizing. I’ve found that by reading quite a few books like this, I’ve starting to pick up on a few similar and often repeated concepts – and when I read them over and over again, it helps engrain them further into my thinking.
And to invest in yourself is a great thing! So I thought for today’s blog post, I would round up some of my favourite recent reads.
See them below!
“You’re either a Purple Cow or you’re not. You’re either remarkable or invisible.”
The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck – Mark Manson
“In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be “positive” all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.”
You Are A Badass – Jen Sincero
“Identify and change the self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors that stop you from getting what you want, Create a life you totally love. And create it NOW.”
The Tipping Point – Malcom Gladwell
“The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life,” writes Malcolm Gladwell, “is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do.”
And because I’m always looking to improve and grow, here are few books that are in the queue waiting to be read. I’ll update this post as I finish these books to let you know what I thought!
Start With Why – Simon Sinek
A More Beautiful Question – Warren Berger
