All I want for Christmas is books...
maybe you do too?
Christmas is coming and maybe you need a book to read or you are trying to find a gift or stocking stuffer.
Here are a few that I have enjoyed this year.
If you are looking for an inspiration - Theo of Golden - “One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from…or why…”
An insane, true story - All That Glitters - “A dazzling insider’s account of the contemporary art world and the stunning rise and fall of the charismatic American art dealer Inigo Philbrick, as seen through the eyes of his friend and fellow dealer”
To improve your relationships - The Courage to Be Disliked - “Based on the theories of renowned psychologist Alfred Adler, this book guides you through the principles of self-forgiveness, self-care, and mind decluttering in a straightforward, easy-to-digest style that’s accessible to all.”
To be happier - Lost Connections - “There was a mystery haunting award-winning investigative journalist Johann Hari. He was thirty-nine years old, and almost every year he had been alive, depression and anxiety had increased in Britain and across the Western world. Why?”
To improve your performance - Chop Wood, Carry Water - A parable about a young man training to be a samurai archer and the lessons learned in the process of becoming great.
Solid curation mixing practical psychology with deeper philosophy! Lost Connections pairs really well with Chop Wood Carry Water since both tackle how modern disconnection feeds unhappiness, just from diferent angles. The parable format in Chop Wood makes those performance lessonsstick way better than typical self-help, which is probably why you grouped them the way you did.
