Story
It is the tenth anniversary since the first publication of Daniel Goleman's groundbreaking bestseller, Emotional Intelligence, which maps the territory where IQ meets EQ, where we apply what we know to how we live. Spending over a year on the New York Times bestseller list, Emotional Intelligence provided the evidence for what many successful people already knew: being smart isn't just a matter of mastering facts; it's a matter of mastering your own emotions and understanding the emotions of the people around you.

Are your thoughts holding you captive? I’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn’t really love me. Jennie Allen knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, but she also knows we don’t have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns. As she discovered in her own life, God built a way for us to escape that downward spiral. Freedom comes when we refuse to be victims to our thoughts and realize we have already been equipped with power from God to fight and win the war for our minds.

Story
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, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Story
Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Story
It can begin with a one-time event - typically some form of sudden loss that disrupts our projection of what the future might be. However, the true work of healing is allowing that disruption to wake us from a deep state of unconsciousness, to release the personas we adapted into, and begin consciously piecing together the full truth of who we were meant to be.

Absolutely relatable. I felt so understood and at peace the whole time I was listening. The narrator was amazing as well.

Get this book!
I have been a Dr. Julie Smith follower in Instagram for ages now. I love her videos and I was very excited when she announced her book, unfortunately it wasn's available in South Africa just yet so I started listening to the audio book and I have loved it. Her voice is easy to follow, only downside is that I have been listening to it while driving and there are times when I wish I could write things down. This book provides great tips that are easy to follow and I look forward to implementing them.
Thank you Dr. Smith for showing me that I'm not alone in trying to figure out this thing called life.

A MUST read
This is a must read for any human being. This is the best gift you could give yourself or any one of your loved ones. It’s a precious book that holds a special place in my heart (and book shelf ;)) and I will keep my eyes open in case the author decides to release anything else.
This book is a guide for life and I liked that she included “toolkit” sections because this is exactly what I felt this book gave me - a toolkit for how to live my life in the best way possible, to navigate it confidently, with the right outlook, attitude, mindset and approach, be present, deal with things the right way for positive outcomes and really bring the best out of it.
I loved the title, the structure and of course the content. It was full of insight and impactful knowledge and it was organized so well!
The narration was perfection.
This is a book you get back to, reference in many different circumstances and recommend to anyone who would listen.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🙏🏻
Thank you to the author for this book, it was a wonderful ride :)

So not worth it
It is always more or less the same with self help books but this one is just not worth the hassle of listening. Had to return because I could not stand the “filler” sentences throughout a chapter.
