Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers, Third Edition by Robert Zapolsky

This product was recommended by Olivia Tan from CocoFax

Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers is not new on the self-help block. In fact, the third edition of it, which was published 15 years ago, has been a consistent bestseller since its publication. But the book still tops charts, and for a good reason: Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers doesn’t just focus on the mental effects of stress and how to deal with it, but it also makes an explicit connection between stress itself and how that stress can manifest itself into physical symptoms like ulcerative colitis or heart disease. With all that in mind, the need for you to get serious about stress management is more about having a better emotional life — it’s also about keeping healthy. It’s an essential read.

Rewire Your Mind by Steven Schuster

This product was recommended by Olivia Tan from CocoFax

Oftentimes, constant stress is less about the actual circumstances you’re going through and more about the self-created — and debilitating — expectations you’ve put on yourself. This book asks you to define what stressors in your life are because you have unrealistic expectations of yourself and are not kind to yourself when you fail to meet them, not because you’re meeting a deadline or your kid got into a fight at school. It also provides you with the scientific information you need to understand why your first reaction to stressors is to freak out, and how you can stop the cycle before it begins

This product was recommended by Vinayak Kukreja from technobeastt

Happiness comes from getting what we want, be it love, recognition, money, and support, among others. But most people, in their search for happiness, find themselves pleasing everyone else over themselves until they end up with feelings of resentment, frustration, and anger. Whether they’re looking for love, work, solutions to a problematic marriage, or are facing an empty nest, health problems, or enormous levels of stress from living in the modern world, The Stress Management Handbook teaches readers how to speak and live from a place of love, rather than a place of frustration or resentment.

Taming Your Gremlin By Rick Carson

This product was recommended by Steven Walker from Spylix

Tao Te Ching By Lao Tzu

This product was recommended by Steven Walker from Spylix

Goals! by Brian Tracy

This product was recommended by Anna Krizova from Camino Adventures

I had mistakenly thought that this is another author that recycles generic self-help knowledge from others until I found myself in dire need to change my goal-setting and achieving habits. The author distilled all the useful knowledge from some of the greatest, earlier authors (Nalopean Hill, Earl Nightingale, etc.) and condensed it into one single book in a captivating way. “You are responsible for everything in your life right now” is the biggest takeaway I got from this book. It has helped me frame my thoughts around the fact that I am the cause of my results, and that I can make a difference in my life.

Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess by Dr. Caroline Leaf

This product was recommended by Nikita Verma from PurpleCrest

Life is a battle, and neurocycling is like the daily cleaning of your sword and shield. The battle is in the mind, so polish your weapons. This book teaches us how to identify toxic thoughts, uproot them and replace them with healthy thoughts.

If you develop these skills, you can carry them with you forever and make them part of your everyday life enabling you to renew your mind at all times.

Most of us work hard to achieve wealth, but after personally burning out on that journey, I had to epically get aligned with why I wanted to succeed financially.
