one of the best ways to improve your mental health is to read books about how
to improve your mental health so one of your goals going into 2019 should be to
read more mental health books so in this video I'm gonna tell you about my five
favorite mental health books of 2018
what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution and a few new to my channel my channel is all
about mental health so I try to make videos to help you improve your mental
and emotional well-being any of that stuff
make sure you subscribe and bring that notification bell so yeah I read a ton
of books and it's one of the main reasons why I am costly able to make
videos and educate you about how the brain works or you know different
studies and everything like that like I hope you understand like nothing I'm
telling you is really that original alright like I just get a bunch of
knowledge and then I give it out to you alright so I will say that reading is
something I didn't do for a very long time but it's something that I recently
and the last couple years started doing on time alright so I'm gonna talk about
five books that came out this year that are really great and I highly recommend
but before I do that did you know I have books some of you I've already picked up
a copy of rewire your anger that's the book that I just wrote maybe about a
month or so ago and it's all about anger management it's a short read then I have
two other books I wrote last year one is called hope how I overcame my depression
anxiety and addiction that is my story and I might redo it in a few years or
something like that but that is my entire story alright and then my other
book that I wrote is another short book and it's called caught in the crossfire
and that's a book for anybody who was affected by a loved one's addiction
throughout that book I give a bunch of intervention strategies and all of that
so that book can really be used if you have a loved one who's struggling with
an eating disorder or some other kind of toxic behavior as I go over different
intervention strategies and the main goal of that book is to help you
maintain your own mental health during that type of situation alright so all
three of my book books are available on the Kindle app
people like but I don't have the Kindle Chris you don't need a Kindle if you
have a smartphone a tablet or a computer you can download the Kindle app for free
alright so let's get started with my favorite books of this year in no
particular order but this first book is probably my favorite one lost
connections by Johann Hari like some of you have heard me mentioned this book
over and over and over again I just talked about a study from this and the
movie review I did of bird box the other day and like you guys this is such a
phenomenal book I I did like a 30 minute video on this book doing like this
depression experiment this book this book way I explained that video idea
like I I could like articulate how I I grew and I overcame my depression and
got to the amazing place I'm at today but like reading that book really helped
me understand it so I made a video called the depression experiment based
on that book so I highly recommend you check it out but this book it talks
about a lot of the reasons why we're depressed that have absolutely nothing
to do with chemical imbalances in our brain all right I love you guys
chemical imbalances are real but they're a very small fraction of our depression
it's important that we understand that so please if you get any book on this
list please get lost connections by Johann Hari and by the way all these
books will be listed down in the description as well as in the pen
comment my next favorite book of 2018 is meditation for fidgety skeptics by Dan
Harris so Dan Harris is a news anchor for Good Morning America and if you type
in like news anchor panic attack or panic attack on air that's Dan Harris
alright this dude had a full-on panic attack in front of millions upon
millions upon millions of people so his first book called 10% happier talks
about how he found meditation and I love Dan Harris because he's just a normal
guy who was skeptical about meditation but he just started doing it and saw his
life get better I can relate to that a ton so this new book meditation for
fidgety skeptics him and his buddy Jeff they got on a bus and did this
country thing and they like did a tour they stock the different places but like
Jeff Warren is amazing they call him like the meditation MacGyver like he can
help you learn how to turn anything into meditation and there's a lot of great
examples through that book there's a lot of different practices as well but
throughout their journey like they stopped at like a police station where
they're practicing meditation they stopped at a military academy they go to
kind of like a center for like troubled teens and they talk about meditation and
then they do like different talks in different places where they talk about
people's objections to meditation but like like listen to the booktitle magic
meditation for fidgety skeptics so if you're somebody who thinks that you
cannot meditate this book is for you meditation is the number one free thing
that you can do to improve your mental health the only reason I started
meditating is because the science is there to back up how beneficial
meditation is for everybody next we have big potential by shawn Achor think this
was one of the first new books I got this year so shawn Achor is actually a
professor of positive psychology at Harvard University and one of my
favorite books of all time is called the happiness advantage that was his first
book so he takes a lot of psychological studies and gives evidence of what can
help you improve your mental health and your happiness overall so in this book
big potential it talks about what I keep trying to teach all of you and when it
comes to our Facebook group or a discord server but basically it's how we can
improve our happiness by being part of a group we're about having a support group
now a lot of this book talks about like in the workplace and how we succeed
better together right we have scientific evidence to back it up but the entire
time I read that book I was thinking about mental health as a whole right
people who struggle with depression or anxiety or addiction or eating disorders
or trauma or whatever it is like being in a group
greatly helps us but what I love about that is and something you'll see
throughout like most of these books that I recommend is that there's scientific
evidence that backs it up that's what I'm looking for in a book like I read a
lot of nonfiction books and I want science to back up what people are
talking about in that book then there is a yes brain if you are a parent get this
book stop what you're doing go down below click the link get this book this
book is written by dr. Daniel Siegel as well as a co-author
I forgot their name is dr. Daniel Siegel is my favorite neuroscientist and I just
realized how nerdy that sounded anyways dr. Daniel Siegel he he he's the one who
taught me how much meditation helps the brain right so not only is he like a
neuroscience when it comes to mindfulness meditation and how it
affects the brain he's also somebody who works a lot with childhood brain
development alright so this book it's it's amazing because so many of us as
parents right your kids freaking out and you tell them to calm down or stop it or
whatever like you guys I cannot stress enough to the parents out there children
do not have the ability to calm down all right so in this book they give you
realistic strategies to help your child deal with anger to deal with anxiety
like it was such a phenomenal book and every single parent I wish I could have
every single parent read this book another book that I wish every parent
could read by dr. Daniel Siegel is parenting from the inside out I'll go
ahead and link that down below too and the fifth book is on your brain by dr.
faith Harper she is probably my favorite author and she's super cool make sure
you follow her on Instagram at the intimacy doctor she writes a ton of
books she is so cool like when you read her books you laugh and you get educated
like she she I could relate to a lot cuz she's like a hard-ass but she's also
very compassionate and kind and she knows her stuff one of these days I've
got working on my channel she's awesome and she's very responsive Indians and
stuff don't go flooding your DMS because I said that but she is very responsive
online and she has a bunch of books like the first one I read was about your
brain let's see also have something about
depression anxiety they just sent me an advanced copy of like her new coping
skills book she writes so many books and she's so amazing like
like my favorite author favorite favorite favorite author is dr. faith
Harper like go read all of her books oh what the heck I'm gonna throw in a bonus
book so the most recent book that I'm reading is by Charlamagne tha God and
it's called shook all right anxiety playing tricks on me so I actually
stumbled across this book and I'm currently in the middle of it so it's
amazing so far Charlamagne tha God was on The Daily
Show with Trevor Noah and he was explaining this book and basically what
he's doing is encouraging you know black America to go get mental health help so
I for those of you who don't know I'm actually half black and there's a lot of
mental health issues in the african-american community I know my
family has struggled with it I know a lot of people in the african-american
community struggle with it and charlo made the god who is like in like the
hip-hop community and he grew up like in the hood and like running drugs and
stuff like that I for him to inspire young people or just all people you know
to get mental health help is absolutely amazing I'm loving the book so far by
the way I do audiobooks I listen to them like right here on my computer screen
you can see the audible app on my computer I'll listen to it while I'm
working or while I'm editing or while I'm driving I have like actual books too
that I need to start reading anyway it's like I do a book review of that book
