Published in 1859, 'Self-Help' by Samuel Smiles is a landmark in the self-help genre. The book advocates for personal responsibility and the virtues of hard work, industry, and character. It uses numerous biographical examples, including those of George Stephenson and Josiah Wedgwood, to illustrate how individuals can achieve success through their own efforts. The book was highly influential in Victorian Britain and beyond, selling over a quarter of a million copies by the time of Smiles' death in 1904. It has been translated into many languages and remains a significant text in the history of self-help literature.
This book, written by Dr. John E. Sarno, presents a groundbreaking approach to understanding and treating chronic back pain. Dr. Sarno's research on Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) suggests that stress, anxiety, and other psychological factors, rather than structural abnormalities, are the root cause of chronic pain. The book explains how repressed emotions trigger tension in the body, depriving muscles and nerves of oxygen, and provides guidance on recognizing the emotional roots of TMS and severing the connection between mental and physical pain. It also advises on how to accept negative emotions, resume physical activity, and change the brain's behavior to heal shoulder, neck, and lower back pain without drugs, surgery, or physical therapy.
In this book, Gabrielle Bernstein teaches readers how to transform their fear into faith to live a more guided and fulfilling life. The book provides stories and lessons that help readers release the need to control and instead relax into a sense of certainty and freedom. It emphasizes the importance of surrendering to the power of the universe, focusing on positive energy, and cultivating a mindset of love and gratitude. By following the principles outlined in the book, readers can find strength, synchronicity, and joy even in challenging times[1][2][5].
In 'Happy Days,' Gabrielle Bernstein presents a clear path for transforming past traumas into newfound strength and freedom. The book offers nine transformational techniques for achieving peace and genuine happiness, including 'reparenting' oneself and bodywork practices to free stuck energy from past unprocessed trauma. Bernstein's approach emphasizes mindset shifts and speaking about the unspeakable to achieve peace of mind and inner freedom.
Nobody’s life is perfect. Sometimes it can be hard to love our lives, and our coping mechanisms, when things get hard. The problem is, the only way to make it better is to make peace with it.
