I follow Mark Manson's self-help blog. I find his blog quite beneficial. Try it.

Here's one of my favorite articles: https://markmanson.net/four-stages-of-life.

Well, I would say listen to podcasts of Tony Robbins on Spotify. He is a great motivational speaker and deals with a ll sorts of common problems from depression to a lack of focus to a lack of motivation. All real problems. He has also written books on self improvement.

I am sure I will, but not all books are worth reading. Some are just nonsense. Always better to get an input of someone who has tried and tested than go in for a blind test

I do that quite often when I drive. Spotify = life saver!

I am looking for some good books to read. My interests are self-improvement, finance, conspiracy theories, and novels (murder mysteries/detective genre).

Please give me some names.

I'm currently reading The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate. A book about human nature & psychology in a toxic culture. It's been an interesting read so far.

Bhagavad Gita..

Not interested in mythology.

I invite you to read Al-Quran (www.quran.com).

Bought Jason Fung's The Obesity Code recently. Great book related to intermittent fasting and weight loss.

I invite you to read Al-Quran (www.quran.com).

Gita is not mythology. You may consider Mahabharata as mythology. It’s just exposing your ignorance. Gita is being taught in top management schools for leadership, project management and for personality development. Suggested Gita because you were interested in self help

Not really a book but I found these life advices from a YouTube self-improvement video. Thought I would share.

P.S., I don't agree with all of these advices but I agree with most. Some good advices here.

=======================

40 life advices:

• Don’t become great at something you hate.
• Go to bed and wake up consistently.
• Your body is your only one—take care of it.
• Stay close to people who genuinely want more for you.
• Let people stay in their own chosen reality.
• Humility means thinking of yourself less, not less of yourself.
• You're tested most when you're about to level up.
• Aim to improve yourself daily—1% better each day.
• You teach people how to treat you by what you accept.
• Admit when you're in the wrong environment and move on.
• Waiting for a sign? That itself is the sign.
• Hardships don't weaken you—they build you.
• True power comes when you need nothing from others.
• Be okay with being misunderstood for long periods.
• When things get easy, push harder—not relax.
• Only ask advice from people who’ve done what you want.
• "No" is a complete sentence. Use it.
• Don't dim your light to make others comfortable.
• Have a primary aim—your clear guiding purpose.
• Study books; don’t just read them.
• Always assume positive intent from others.
• Put on your own mask before helping others.
• Seek out problems—they're opportunities to grow.
• Your new life cost your old one—embrace change.
• Confidence comes from keeping promises to yourself.
• Dedicate decades, not days—consistency is key.
• Treat others how you want to be treated.
• Acknowledge others—you never know who's struggling.
• If you keep meeting bad people, you might be the problem.
• Avoid drama and gossip—they drain your energy.
• Fear gives bad advice—seek others' perspectives.
• It’s never too late to change.
• Remove all vices that hold you back.
• If your phone is your best entertainment, life isn’t interesting enough.
• Take as much responsibility as possible—say “yes.”
• Don’t blame others—own your growth and circumstances.
• Be blissfully dissatisfied: grateful yet driven for more.
• Make time for what matters—put it in your calendar.
• Respect comes from admiration, not fear.
• Life is a mirror—your reality reflects who you are.
