Eight Books to Help You Navigate Life's Challenges
When I am struggling on the path of life, I always seek solace in books. Books not only teach me how to become a good writer, but also how to live a better life. Some books exist to help us get through difficult times in life - they keep our minds cheerful until we overcome the darkest moments. Today, it is undeniable that the world is going through difficult times, all the difficulties and sufferings for people and the world are a disaster, so, to understand all this, I recommend the following books: 8 books to help you get through hardship
12 by Julia Cameron. In the past, I recommended this book to help writers overcome writing difficulties. However, this book also teaches me how to complete my life fully. It makes me realize moments of self-deception and betraying the soul. This book teaches me how to better protect myself and tells me what has been bothering me all along. This is a book I have treasured for a long time, when 'everything becomes difficult', I use it to find direction in life.
The Core Education of Buddha by Lin Chan. After reading this book by Lin Chan, you will immediately feel calm. The world is simple, all joy and happiness, suffering and pain no longer exist. Everything becomes clearer. You are no longer afraid of death, illness or evil. You will not be afraid of bad news because you know that there is no good or bad, good or evil. The world has no changes. Life is at its best, and you have already completed your meritorious deeds. If you want to find happiness in hardship, just listen to the voice of this master, he will point you to the right path.
, by Joan Poliser Ko. Every day, I do the relaxation training proposed by Joan here. In the past, I often panicked, but now, because of these relaxation techniques, I no longer panic. Just for this reason, Joan's book is worth reading, and we can find great wisdom in it.
by Joe Kabakjin. In this Bible-sized book, Kabakjin describes his entire relaxation course. Although the content is long, every page is worth reading. Understanding and mastering 'the word' is my new life purpose. If you only notice pain, pain will not be as bad as you think, which is enough to surprise you. If we simply notice the chair we are sitting on, the air we are breathing and the patterns on the keys, we will realize that we don't need anything, but only this moment. This manual teaches us how to cope with major disasters – life. Similarly, those who want to finally understand and conduct a meditation process to completely change their daily existence – this is the meaning of this book.
by Elizabeth Gilbert. Gilbert teaches us how to escape negative emotions by enjoying things that bring us joy. In the most difficult moments, we must embrace the most joyful things and let these joys elevate our mood, let us drift like the wind and let us be strong.
by Mark Nepo. Every story is a treasure of the mind and soul. Every page is a paradigm-shifting lesson. Word for word, gem-like. Every training is a rule-breaking game. I have cited many of Mark Nepo's words in C2C. He has become a person who has influenced me and my work. I think he taught us the most important lesson – our greatest teacher is right in front of us, pain is just a catalyst for our growth and wisdom, and our best life is not anywhere else but under our feet – waiting for us to discover.
· by John O'Donohue. This is the most beautiful non-fiction book ever written. Yan Cara, titled in the language of Gaeil, means 'soulmate'. O'Donohue leads us through every part of this book: birth, friendship, work, marriage, death and after life. He tells everything in his strange - but perfect - language full of poetry, philosophy, scholarship and wisdom. His prose can suddenly become imaginative and thoughtful, sensual and conservative, euphemistic and painstakingly focused. He must be more capable of being himself than most people. Every sentence has a happy murmur, just like a guiding poem, this book is like a really good overcoat, shielding you from the wind and rain for the future years of your life.
