The month of self-help books it seems. First of all: The pleasure trap. Got it for my birthday and finally can dive deeper in the psychology of our bad habits, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex and mainly junk foods. A must to all of you who are interested why it's super hard to give up easy pleasures and maintain a healthy way of living. It helps me to understand more why we get addicted to things, what happens in the brain and how to avoid fooling myself. I myself find it hard to give up coffee and even refined grains that are not doing much good to my body when consuming them on a regular basis. There is always room for improvement, but only we can do these steps for ourselves. Secondly: The 5 love languages. Got it on sale and impulsevly, even though I'm not married not being in a relationship. He. But: I do find it useful to be translated not only romantic relationships, but family and friendships as well. We all love and care about our relationships dearly, yet - and mainly in marriages where people get the closest to one another - we screw up and don't know where things go wrong. Understanding the effort and thoughtfulness and having some guidance on where and how to start expressing your love to another human being is a key to happiness. Many times I found that I made mistakes with my family and friends, yet alone in my precious relationships. A lot of mistakes. This book helps me a lot on understanding my own love language and essentially to pay attention more to those around me who speak a different one, because I may need to learn a new one if I want to hold on to good relationships in my life. We are all different. It only makes sense that we express out love differently too. So, if you read any of these, what do you think? If not, and interested in the topics, they are definitely worth grabbing a copy. #booksofthemonth #thepleasuretrap #the5lovelanguages #readingisfun #learninglifefrombooks
