Book 2 Post 2 - Resilient: How to grow an unshakeable core

  As I read deeper into the book, I discovered how Dr. Hanson defines what it means to be resilient. Dr. Hanson emphasizes the necessity of cultivating positive experiences and emotions to rewire your brain to a healthier, more positive perspective while focusing solely on negativity. He discusses neuroscience studies that show how the brain is constructed to have a negative bias, which implies that bad events are given more weight than happy ones. When he made this statement, it prompted me to think about my previous experiences and weigh them as positive or negative. This was an odd experience, to say the least, given that my experiences that tend to have more emotional weight are negative than positive. When I considered the good ones, they did not carry as much weight as I had hoped because they would support his opinion.  I found it interesting how Dr. Hanson would draw the reader in by asking you to recall a time when, and then you would begin to think about a previous e...

Book 2 Post 1 - Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakeable Core

I decided on which book to choose Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakeable Core by Dr. Rick Hanson for book 2. The reason is because I have always been interested in self-development books and books helping you unravel who you are by looking within yourself. Reading other books similar to this one like Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, and The Alchemist where personal development is the main aspect throughout the book I found this book to be the most appealing. My whole life I have found when looking at your problems you will always seem overwhelmed but the answer that you are looking for is almost only within. The effects from your problems will have you thinking will you go down this rabbit hole of what if, what will, and when it does but not tackling the route of the problem. What comes with solving these personal problems is how you take on these problems at face value. This is where the book at its core talks about being re...
