Recently, I have been focusing a lot on improving my mental strengths and I have found certain books extremely helpful on this. To name a couple: Matthew Perry’s memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big, Terrible Thing; The Chimp Paradox, and Digital Minimalism.
I would say that these books have done a great job of helping me on my journey to building my self-confidence and understanding better how my mind works by educating me rather than motivating me, which I do see as a more sustainable and more effective way to level myself up in the long-term.
I believe now I am at a stage in my life where I would like to concentrate my efforts further on my body rather than my mind, and I would like some ideas for books which educate on the importance of becoming physically strong and fit, rather than trying to motivate.
For example, I would like something that explains the big-picture benefits of keeping in shape including things like how it strengthens the mind; perhaps that it means you age more gracefully, or that it can increase self-confidence by improving self-image. These are all just examples, of course, but if anyone has any ideas for books like this, I would appreciate it so much!
