On April 7, we celebrated World Health Day with the World Health Organization.
👇 On this occasion, we want to share 5️⃣ books that inspired Povilas, the founder of coach.lt, to make important changes in his career and life, and also motivated him to change his behavior.
Povilas jokes with his clients that he recommends books like experienced doctors recommend medication: responsibly and after checking their effectiveness. ; )
List with comments:
5️⃣ Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence (Anna Lembke)
// Last year's discovery that showed how to work with addictions with dignity, curiosity, and efficiency.
4️⃣ Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder (Nassim Nicholas Taleb)
// After reading this book, I take crises or unpleasant changes as an opportunity and perspective for growth. There is a lot of wisdom in the book - even too much.
3️⃣ Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less (Greg McKeown)
//Choosing what is really important in life, i.e., to whom to say yes and to whom to say no, has become very simple, even fun. The book is worth reading several times.
2️⃣ Your Anxiety Beast and You: A Compassionate Guide to Living in an Increasingly Anxious World (Eric Goodman)
// A book that invites self-compassion. Whenever I'm deeply worried, or I can't stand myself, I imagine little Povilas in front of my eyes. Then I get sensitive but calm.
1️⃣ Non-Violent Communication: A Language of Life (Marshall B. Rosenberg)
// I won't hide it: I experienced this book almost like a psychedelic trip. I don't remember when I've felt so much empathy and love for people. For everyone.
🎁 The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are (Alan Watts)
// A bonus book for all fans of Eastern philosophy and religious studies, as well as followers of Buddhist and Taoist ideas.
