Helpful Resources
I have recommended 16 Personalities for years to help clients, friends, and students better understand themselves, how they view the world, and how the world views them.
A friend in school recommended the book Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. I got a copy from the library and read it in 9 hours, assured my life would never be the same. This is a book that can change your life.
You probably notice an inner voice, one that constantly talks, narrates, challenges, sings, perseverates, and ruminates. This book is very similar to The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, however, I find the version by Michael A. Singer to be an easier read. This book is helpful for individuals who lie awake at night, unable to shut off this inner voice that causes disruption and angst while trying to sleep.
Mindfulness/Present Moment Work
My favorite term to describe learning mindfulness is "present-moment work."
How many times have you driven home from work only to realize you couldn't remember anything from the drive? It was as if you were on auto-pilot and you began to wonder if you ran a red light or inadvertantly cut anyone off. Present-moment work helps us learn to turn off our inner monologue and focus on each moment, fully present in the moment.
