I’m in my early 20s living in a third world Asian country. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and it’s made me realise that all my preconceived notions about myself are wrong. Once I got medicated I realised that I can do anything I want to. I just have to put in the time and effort. Mindfulness and stoicism have also helped a ton.
I need a book that tells me just wise the fuck up. I want to stop getting stuck in negative thought loops. I lack self-esteem and constantly keep having conversations about what other people think of me. Books that have had a profound impact on me so far:
Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harrari
Waking Up by Sam Harris
Atomic habits by James Clear
Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson
Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer
Deep work by Cal Newport
4 Hour work week by Tim Ferris
4 hour body by Tim Ferris
