krazychao5 05/01/17 2:18:02 PM #51:	To people in this topic, and everyone in general, I'd suggest reading Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. This is based on work gathered in the field of positive psychology, compared to Freudian psychology which only focuses on the past and abnormalities. Positive psychology is working on training your conscious for better results in the future, instead of focusing on what went wrong in the past. Helps change your mindset for the better. --- https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/profile/bigllama?type=posted <cite>krazychao5 posted [p:878267872] in Remember w...

The Gifts of Imperfection Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck Quiet 30 Lessons for Living You Are Not Your Brain Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear The Happiness Project I have not read nor heard of any of those books. Here is a list of books my professor gave for us that we may read and write about for extra credit. Most sound like positive psychology books, but at least one looks like how to structure a learning organization. O'Connor, R. (2014). Rewire: Change your brain to break bad habits, overcome additions, conquer self-destructive behavior. New York: A Plume Book. ISBN-13: 978-0147516329 "This is an impressive book by an impressive therapist. Dr. O'Connor ... uses his many years of experience, skill and knowledge of neuroscience research to explain why we have bad habits, including addictions, and what we can do to change them. Dr. O'Connor is very honest and open about how difficult it is to change behavior, especially addictions. He explains the reasons for, mechanisms of. and methods for changing bad habits, ranging from procrastination (which one can probably deal with on his own) to severe addiction (which does usually require professional aid). His advice is excellent and places this book far above the self-help genre. Dr. O'Connor's knowledge of neuroscience is amazing. He understands the hard science behind the studies used to support and explain his book. Very well done.Something else, and most impressive of all about Dr. O'Connor, is his sympathy and compassion for all those who suffer, and his desire to help those who really, really want to change for the better." Begley, S. (2007). Train your mind, change your brain: How a new science reveals our extraordinary potential to transform ourselves. New York: Ballantine Books. ISBN 978-0345479891. "In this fascinating and far-reaching book, Newsweek science writer Sharon Begley reports on how cutting-edge science and the ancient wisdom of Buddhism have come together to reveal that, contrary to popular belief, we have the power to literally change our brains by changing our minds. Recent pioneering experiments in neuroplasticity - the ability of the brain to change in response to experience - reveal that the brain is capable of altering its structure and function, and even of generating new neurons, a power we retain well into old age. The brain can adapt, heal, renew itself after trauma, compensate for disabilities, rewire itself to overcome dyslexia, and break cycles of depression and OCD. And as scientists are learning from studies performed on Buddhist monks, it is not only the outside world that can change the brain, so can the mind and, in particular, focused attention through the classic Buddhist practice of mindfulness." Doidge, N. (2007). The brain that changes itself: Stories of personal triumph from the frontiers of brain science. New York: Penguin Books. ISBN 978-0143113102. "An astonishing new science called "neuroplasticity" is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable. In this revolutionary look at the brain, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, M.D., provides an introduction to both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity and the people whose lives they've transformed. From stroke patients learning to speak again to the remarkable case of a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, The Brain That Changes Itself will permanently alter the way we look at our brains, human nature, and human potential." - amazon.com "Mind-bending, miracle-making, reality-busting stuff with implications for all human beings." --The New York Times --- https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/profile/bigllama?type=posted <cite>krazychao5 posted [p:878269602] in Remember w...

ISBN-13: 978-0812981605 “There’s been a lot of research over the past several years about how our habits shape us, and this work is beautifully described in the new book The Power of Habit.”—David Brooks, The New York Times. “A first-rate book—based on an impressive mass of research, written in a lively style and providing just the right balance of intellectual seriousness with practical advice on how to break our bad habits.”—The Economist. “Duhigg argues that much of our lives is ruled by unconscious habits, good and bad, but that by becoming consciously aware of the cues that trigger our habits and the rewards they provide, we can change bad practices into good ones.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Patterson, K., & Grenny, J. (2011). Crucial conversations: Tools for talking when stakes are high. 2nd Ed. New York: McGraw-Hill Education.

This book deserves to take its place as one of the key thought leadership contributions of our time.” ―from the Foreword by Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. “The quality of your life comes out of the quality of your dialogues and conversations.

The usual feeling of not caring about anything while under depression versus the high off...who knows, girlfriend, graduating, new job, that sort of thing. Though one mistake people make (not necessarily TC, I'm speaking in general) is to think the happiness with a partner will do away with any depression. Like you guys said, it's a band-aid.

I just want positivity to spread on CE instead of the normal filth. Just keep in mind that just reading one of these books will not create profound change in you.

I'm gonna be completely honest when I say I don't really read your topics generally because the people who'd actually be a good fit to help me are people that are several years older, have already experienced what I have awaiting me in the next few years, and live the independent lifestyles that I want. Like yeah it's cool that you're doing better and all but I'm just saying that your advice wouldn't help a lot of people because you're still young and have a lot of things to experience that many people suffering from these problems are scared to death of. And yeah, "just push forward" doesn't really help either, it's very generic and it's even worse when circumstances vary wildly and just waking up in the morning is a struggle for some people. Generic or not, I still disagree with it being bad advice. Is it difficult for people in those mindsets to follow? Absolutely. It's a struggle, and often feels downright impossible. But that's why it's something you have to push through every day until you train yourself to think positively. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.'

No, it's really not. Working to change your mindset and trying to keep positive, even when you don't feel that way at all, really does help in the long run.

I'm in the opposite stage now where I can't go a day without wanting to kill myself. things get better, just keep pushing forward no seriously though one day it'll all make sense, you might even be thankful you went through what you did because it will give you amazing perspective and make you a stronger person in the long run.
