Paulo Coelho

The Alchemist

This memoir about the author’s childhood in poverty is a testament to the power of resilience and finding the good in even the most difficult situations. (It also made us ease up on our own dysfunctional family.)

The Glass Castle  by Jeannette Walls

Not only is this graphic memoir a revealing glimpse into life in Iran in the years surrounding the Islamic Revolution, it’s also a beautiful reminder that the search for identity is never meaningless.

Persepolis  by Marjane Satrapi

Yes, it’s on every must-read list ever made, but for good reason: It’s a timeless, honest look at depression. If you didn’t read this semi-autobiographical masterpiece in high school, read it now.

The Bell Jar  by Sylvia Plath

Where to begin? This classic is so rife with insight that we’ve asked ourselves on more than one occasion, “What would Scout do?” But if we have to boil it down: Always make an effort to understand others, and always stand up for what you believe in.

To Kill a Mockingbird  by Harper Lee

We’re going way back here, but this book about a two friends, an imaginary world and a sudden tragedy still haunts us as adults. (Maybe because the author was inspired to write it after a similar event in her own life.) Either way, it taught us to value every single day with the people we love.

Bridge to Terabithia  by Katherine Paterson

These seven books helped us see the world a little differently and stuck with us long after reading the last page.

Problem Solving

7 Books That Taught Us the Most Important Life Lessons

Understanding this is critical because one of the most useful skills you can have is creative thinking. Innovative solutions, lateral thinking, and creative ideas can help with almost any problem you face at work or in life.

Why you should read this 

Most importantly, your ability to generate new combinations is dependent on your ability to see the connections between concepts. You have done something creative if you can create a new link between two old ideas.

The 5 Stages of the Creative Process

You learn at first. During this stage, you should concentrate on 1) learning specific material directly related to your task and 2) learning general material by becoming fascinated with a wide range of concepts.

1. Gather new material.

During this stage, you examine what you've learned by looking at the facts from different perspectives and experimenting with putting different ideas together.

2. Thoroughly work over the materials in your mind.

Then you completely forget about the problem and go do something else that excites and energises you.

3. Step away from the problem.

Your idea will return to you with a flash of insight and renewed energy at some point, but only after you have stopped thinking about it.

4. Let your idea return to you.

For any idea to succeed, it must be put out into the world, subjected to criticism, and adapted as necessary.

Shape and develop your idea based on feedback.

“An idea is a feat of association, and the height of it is a good metaphor.”

The act of making new connections between old ideas is referred to as the creative process. As a result, we can define creative thinking as the task of identifying relationships between concepts.

This article explains the creative process all brilliant ideas have in common. Anyone can learn to be creative by using these five steps.

Science of helping your brain/mind flow

When it comes to setting out on your own growth journey, it’s best to turn to the experts. There are new personal growth books being released daily and you can get them for a discounted price (and with less environmental impact!) on your Kindle or other e-reader.

Read personal growth books

Starting your day off on the right note can make a major impact. While a lot of people roll over first thing in the morning and grab their phones, willingly inundating themselves with the news and opinions of the day, you can get a leg up on your life by being intentional with your time.‍

Make the most of your mornings

There’s nothing that will make you feel inspired and motivated again quite like getting up from behind your laptop and pursuing fitness.

Move your body

Your mind, just like your body, can get complacent. If you continue to “exercise” it in the same ways, absorbing the same information over and over again, completing the same intellectual tasks over and over again, you will cease to grow. And, if you’re not growing you’re not living.

Take a new skills-based class

Growth isn’t easy to do on your own. We need people to express their support, offer ideas and guidance, and encourage us to keep moving forward, even when it feels like we won’t succeed.

Seek out a new community

Mentally getting outside of your comfort zone is one thing - but have you thought about getting physically out of your comfort zone? Booking a trip to a far-off destination could be just the thing you need to see yourself in a different light, and determine how you can improve in order to live the life you want to live.

Take a trip

Feel like your life isn't progressing in the way that you always thought it would? Check out these 7 inspirational personal growth ideas to help you get to where you want to go.
