In life, there are moments when you cannot laugh, not even smile. I honestly have some moments when I am not happy and feel depressed. During these moments, I watch funny videos and memes and think of something another. I read the book during this kind of moment, which changed my mood to 180 degrees. I read only three pages, and I felt completely different. Therefore, I investigated and read another six books, which helped me turn my mind to a different thought. Here are seven books and their descriptions, which I recommend reading when you do not feel happy or are in your mood.

Power of Now:

To make the journey into The Power of Now, we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language and a question and answer format to guide us. Surrender to the present moment, where problems do not exist. Here we find our joy, can embrace our true selves and discover that we are already complete and perfect. If we can be fully present and take each step in the Now we will be opening ourselves to the transforming experience of The Power of Now. It is a book to be revisited again and again. This worldwide phenomenon has captured the world`s imagination with its ability to change readers` lives for the better.

Man’s Search For Meaning:

An unmistakable Viennese therapist before the conflict, Viktor Frankl was exceptionally ready to notice how both he and others in Auschwitz adapted (or did not) to the experience. He saw that the ones who console others and who parted with their last slice of bread endure the longest — and offered evidence that everything can be detracted from us aside from the capacity to pick our mentality in some random situation. The kind of individual the inhumane imprisonment detainee became the consequence of an inward choice and not camp impacts alone. Just the people who permitted their internal hang on their moral and otherworldly selves to die down, in the end, succumbed to the camp’s deteriorating impact — while the individuals who made a triumph of those encounters transformed them into an inward victory. Frankl came to accept that man’s most unimaginable craving is to look for significance and reason. This exceptional work offers us a method for rising above anguish and tracking down importance in the craft of living.

The Untethered Soul:

Who are you? When you begin to investigate this inquiry, you discover how subtle it truly is. Might it be said that you are an actual body? An assortment of encounters and recollections? An accomplice to connections? Each time you consider parts of yourself, you understand that something else to you besides any of these can characterize. In this book, profound educator Michael Singer investigates our identity and comes to the result that our personality is to be found in our awareness, the reality of our capacity to notice ourselves and our general surroundings. By taking advantage of customs of reflection and care, Singer shows how the advancement of awareness can empower all of us to abide right now and let go of complex musings and recollections that hold us back from accomplishing bliss and self-acknowledgement.

Partitioned into five sections, the book offers a straight to the point and cordial conversation of cognisance and how we can foster it. To some degree, he inspects the idea of self and the inward exchange we all live with. Section two analyzes the experience of energy as it moves through us and attempts to tell perusers the best way to hold nothing back from the energy of involvement that saturates their lives. Ways of defeating propensities to shut down to the remainder of the world are the subject of section three. Illumination and the hug of all-inclusive cognisance are the subjects of section four. Lastly, to some extent five, Singer gets back to day to day existence and the quest for “unlimited bliss.” Throughout, the book keeps a light and connects with the tone, liberated from weighty creed and strict prescriptive references. The simple activities that figure in every part assist perusers with encountering the thoughts that Singer presents.

Subtle Art Of Not Giving a F*ck:

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be “positive” all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we have been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. “F**k positivity,” Mark Manson says. “Let us be honest, shit is f**ked, and we have to live with it.” In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson does not sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is — a dose of raw, refreshing truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson argues, backed by academic research and well-timed poop jokes that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited — “not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.” Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.

12 Rules For Life:

How might we live appropriately in a universe of confusion and vulnerability? Jordan Peterson has helped many individuals, youthful and older adults, focus on the existence of obligation and which means. Presently he can help you. Drawing on his work as a clinical therapist and examples from humanity’s most established fantasies and stories, Peterson offers twelve significant and sensible standards to live by. All things considered, as he reminds us, we each play an essential part to play in the unfurling predetermination of the world. Profound, fulfilling and edifying, 12 Rules for Life is a raft constructed unequivocally for blustery oceans: antiquated insight applied to contemporary issues.

The Four Agreements:

The book slowly reveals the secrets of a healthy emotional world, relieves fear and leads a person to inner personal freedom. It teaches us to know the world of our limitations and harmful habits. It reveals the rules stored in our subconscious, in our words and actions. He reads the Words and rules that make us unhappy and powerless in secret. He finds the starting points and teaches us to change our attitudes, to understand ourselves as a unique being with the right — to be happy.

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari:

An internationally bestselling fable about a spiritual journey, littered with powerful life lessons that teach us how to abandon consumerism to embrace destiny, live life to the full and discover joy. This inspiring tale is based on the author’s search for life’s true purpose, providing a step-by-step approach to living with more extraordinary courage, balance, abundance and joy. It tells the story of Julian Mantle, a lawyer forced to confront the spiritual crisis of his out-of-balance life: following a heart attack, he decides to sell all his beloved possessions and trek to India. On a life-changing odyssey to an ancient culture. He meets Himalayan gurus who offer powerful, wise and practical lessons that teach us to:- Develop positive thoughts — Follow our life’s mission — Cultivate self-discipline and act courageously — Value time as our most important commodity — Nourish our relationships — Live fully, one day at a time.
