Ok book recommendations round 2

Looking for some motivating self help books with a more positive view on the world or how to have a more positive view on the world.

Stuck in agony in bed with severe sciatica attack and trying to make some meaningful changes to my life both mentally and physically.



Thanks 🙏

I'm sorry to hear you're going through that :(

This probably doesn't exactly meet what you're looking for, but one book that resonated a lot with me was The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt, where he looks at what truly creates happiness and what makes a life worth living:

Another book I read recently is The Dose Effect by TJ Power. Very pop-sciency and reads a bit like the book version of a TikTok video, but the content is solid. It's about how to maximise your body's production of the hormones Dopamine, Ocytocine, Serotonine and Endorphines which are connected to our overall well-being and happiness.

Take care, wish you a speedy recovery!

@82mhz thank you for your kindness and for the reccs
Short burst sounds perfect right now as I'm quite tired I will check that one first.

Good idea if you're tired, the Haidt book is a bit more complex to read. Hope there's something in there for you!
