Mindset
by Carol S. Dweck Ph.D
World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea–the power of our mindset.
Dweck explains why it’s not just our abilities and talent that bring us success–but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn’t foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals–personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.
Eliminate Negative Thinking
by Derick Howell
If you’ve ever tried to overcome negativity, you know that just telling yourself to “think positive” won’t cut it. This book offers a comprehensive toolkit of actionable strategies and techniques that will help you eliminate the deep-seated causes of your anxiety, manage your day-to-day worries, stop overthinking in its tracks, and finally love yourself the way you deserve to be loved.
Untamed
by Glennon Doyle
Part inspiration, part memoir, Untamed explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet the expectations of the world, and instead dare to listen to and trust in the voice deep inside us. From the beloved New York Times bestselling author, speaker and activist Glennon Doyle.
The Growth Mindset
by Joshua Moore
If you’ve ever wanted to experience personal and/or professional growth, but haven’t been able to find practical ways to develop and implement this vital knowledge, this book has the inside track information you’ve been searching for! Co-written by a personal growth researcher and life coach, and a top business executive who also teaches and trains “soft” business skills, this book bridges the gap between personal and professional growth as well as scaffolding theory with concrete plans of action to ensure you are successful in your growth development efforts in all facets of your life.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
by Mark Manson
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope
by Mark Manson
With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.
Good Vibes, Good Life
by Vex King
Vex overcame adversity to become a source of hope for thousands of young people, and now draws from his personal experience and his intuitive wisdom to inspire you to:
– practise self-care, overcome toxic energy and prioritize your wellbeing
– cultivate positive lifestyle habits, including mindfulness and meditation
– change your beliefs to invite great opportunities into your life
– manifest your goals using tried-and-tested techniques
– overcome fear and flow with the Universe
– find your higher purpose and become a shining light for others
In this book, Vex will show you that when you change the way you think, feel, speak and act, you begin to change the world.
So there are a good mixture of books to help you learn that failing is GOOD. Negative feelings need as much respect and time as positive ones. Every emotion means we grow, and shouldn’t be ignored!
