Books that makes us feel good

I love personal development books. They are encouraging and give us a lot of knowledge that can help us achieve our personal goals. They make us want to continue, not to give up. There are tips and advice well described. Often times I buy them because I love to highlight passages that are Wow. And in addition, I often go back to consult these books 😉

In this list, you will find development books but also a fiction novel that include personal development. At that time, it’s a 2 in 1 book! A pure pleasure! I always try to read my books in their original version (English, French or Portuguese).

Girl, wash your face, by Rachel Hollis

Rachel Hollis wears many hats: podcaster, entrepreneur, blogger, author. She is an incredible motivational speaker who talks to you like you are her best friend. In this book she talks about all the lies we tell ourselves. While she shares a lot of personal stuff, i think we can relate very often. We can put so much of her advice into practice and learn from it. If you are ready to be encouraged and finally eliminate some lies from your life such as: I am not a good mom or I’m a terrible writer, or many more, get your hands on this book please.

Girl, stop apologizing, by Rachel Hollis

Another super encouraging book from Rachel. This book is different from the one mentioned just before. But it is in the same order of ideas. Here, she talks about the excuses that we use and the behaviors we should instead adopt. The part that i loved the most, is when she talks about the skills we should adopt in order to achieve what we want in life. It’s just a reminder that we already have them inside of us and what we need most is : « focus, time and hard work ».

Voilà, i loved a lot of more books and will post them eventually! Is there any book you read on this list? Some that you liked? Will love to read from you 🙂
