📜THE MOUNTAIN IS YOU📜
by Brianna Wiest

---------------------------------------------------------
➡️ Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery. ---------------------------------------------------------

📗About:
This is a book about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it—for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

📜APPRENTICED TO A HIMALAYAM MASTER📜
by Sri M
---------------------------------------------------------
➡️ Someone who met him recently said, “I expected a flashy godman and instead I saw a jean clad gentleman with a smile of his face, ready to discuss my problems. In five minutes flat, I said to myself, this is no ordinary man. The peace and tranquility that enters your system is tangible”.
--------------------------------------------------------
📗About:
The author Sri ‘M’ is an extraordinary individual. His uniqueness lies not only in the fact that at the young age of 19 and a half, he travelled to snow clad Himalayas from Kerala, and there he met and lived for several years with a ‘real-time’ yogi, Babaji, but also that he should undertake such an unusual and adventurous exploration, given his non-Hindu birth and antecedents.

The metamorphosis of Mumtaz Ali Khan into Sri ‘M’, a yogi with profound knowledge of the Upanishads and deep personal insights, born of first hand experiences with higher levels of consciousness is indeed a fascinating story.

📜DARING GREATLY📜
by Brene Brown

❗️more than 2 mln copies sold
❗️1# New York Times bestseller

---------------------------------------------------------
➡️ Daring Greatly is a practice and a powerful new vision for letting ourselves be seen.
-------------------------------------------------

📗About:
Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on twelve years of pioneering research, Brené Brown PhD, MSW, dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.
Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity. She writes: “When we shut ourselves off from vulnerability, we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives."

Каждый день мы сталкиваемся с неопределенностью, риском и эмоциональным воздействием, которые определяют, что значит быть уязвимым или отваживаться на многое. Основываясь на двенадцатилетних новаторских исследованиях, Брене Браун, доктор философии, МСВ, развеивает культурный миф о том, что уязвимость - это слабость, и утверждает, что на самом деле она является самым точным мерилом нашей смелости.
Браун объясняет, что уязвимость - это одновременно сердцевина таких сложных эмоций, как страх, горе и разочарование, и место рождения любви, принадлежности, радости, эмпатии, инноваций и творчества. Он пишет: "Когда мы отгораживаемся от уязвимости, мы отдаляемся от опыта, который привносит в нашу жизнь цель и смысл".
