Third and last post of the mini series of 3 posts in which we are highlighting a total of 6 must-read books to think differently (part 3). In this third post we will highlight two more of them. They are Win Your Inner Battles by Darius Foroux and Don’t Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen.
The ability to think is one of our main assets as human beings. Undoubtedly, it is a gift that allows you to set in motion an unusual and all too valuable machinery: the imagination.
Let’s take a look at these next two must-read book recommendations for thinking differently.
Win your inner battles
A phenomenal guide for anyone who wants to stop being haunted by the past and start moving forward in life. This book by Darius Foroux is packed with excellent exercises designed to help you identify your main problems, set goals and achieve them.
On the other hand, it also has several practical tips on how to stay motivated and keep going when the going gets tough. Of course, if you are willing to put in the effort, in this book you can discover how to overcome those moments without letting them take over.
Interestingly, it includes some meditations to help you feel calmer and at peace with yourself.
Don’t believe everything you think
More than a book, it is one of those tools that you consult again and again for its great value. It always has aspects that bring you value, even different readings if you consult it with habit depending on the moment.
The author, Joseph Nguyen, describes how we all have thoughts that come into our heads and then we act on them without assessing whether they are true or not. It happens to us every day. He uses lots of examples to illustrate how this happens in our daily lives. From buying things we don’t need to getting angry with people who don’t deserve it.
The book provides us with some excellent tools so that we can recognize these thoughts when they happen and find out if they are true or not. From there, act accordingly based on what comes up when we check our assumptions.
