“Learned Optimism” by Martin Seligman

It is a very detailed book on optimism based on many scientific researches. 

It starts by developing the correlation between pessimism and depression with the concept of helplessness. 

Then Seligman explains how our explanatory style influences our level of optimism or pessimism.  

Do we explain the reason of difficult situations with permanence, pervasiveness and personalisation?

The approach of the book is not to convince you to be an optimism at all cost as Seligman recognises that the pragmatism of pessimists is useful in some situations.

But he demonstrates how learned optimism (already at a young age) can really help a person to avoid depression, be healthier and life a successful life. 

There are a few interesting tests in the book and techniques to dispute your current ways of thinking and learn optimism.

“Playing BIG” by Tara Mohr

Another beautiful and inspiring book for all the women out there!

Playing BIG!

• Listen to yourself, your dream and your inner wisdom. 
• Leave behind your fears, your good student habits, your inner critic. 
• Stop hiding, follow your calling and contribute to the world. 

Definitely a book I wish I wrote as it resonates so much with my own journey and with what I do in my coaching practice. 

I truly recommend it as it is very inspiring and very pragmatic at the same time!

“Gratitude: A Way of Life” by Louise L Hay

I’ve really enjoyed reading this book.
It really made me realise the power of gratitude.

“The 5 love languages: the secret to love that lasts” by Gary Chapman.⁠ 

⁠I found this book very interesting for several reasons:⁠ 

• it helps us discover which kind of love language we are looking for⁠
• it also helps us discover the love languages of our close family and friends
• ⁠and knowing that, it allows us to communicate better our love to ourselves and others⁠
  ⁠ 

I also found that a comparison could be made with recognition as it also has various forms and it may happen we do not receive the kind of recognition we are looking for…⁠
