Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers is not new on the self-help block. In fact, the third edition of it, which was published 15 years ago, has been a consistent bestseller since its publication. But the book still tops charts, and for a good reason: Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers doesn’t just focus on the mental effects of stress and how to deal with it, but it also makes an explicit connection between stress itself and how that stress can manifest itself into physical symptoms like ulcerative colitis or heart disease. With all that in mind, the need for you to get serious about stress management is more about having a better emotional life — it’s also about keeping healthy. It’s an essential read.

Oftentimes, constant stress is less about the actual circumstances you’re going through and more about the self-created — and debilitating — expectations you’ve put on yourself. This book asks you to define what stressors in your life are because you have unrealistic expectations of yourself and are not kind to yourself when you fail to meet them, not because you’re meeting a deadline or your kid got into a fight at school. It also provides you with the scientific information you need to understand why your first reaction to stressors is to freak out, and how you can stop the cycle before it begins

Happiness comes from getting what we want, be it love, recognition, money, and support, among others. But most people, in their search for happiness, find themselves pleasing everyone else over themselves until they end up with feelings of resentment, frustration, and anger. Whether they’re looking for love, work, solutions to a problematic marriage, or are facing an empty nest, health problems, or enormous levels of stress from living in the modern world, The Stress Management Handbook teaches readers how to speak and live from a place of love, rather than a place of frustration or resentment.

Stress is always the result of how you interpret your life’s events. Stress affects you only if you believe that interpretation is true. This book (about two hours to read) shows you how to ignore the part of your brain that’s constantly interpreting things, removing the source of your stress.

The Torah, the Bible, and the Koran are lengthy and complex books that can take a lifetime to understand. The Tao Te Ching, on the other hand, takes about an hour to read, has no religious overtones, and teaches that stress and the associated busywork are self-inflicted and easily avoided.

This was the go-to book for life wisdom for a thousand years in Europe. The Consolation is a short, to-the-point book that deals with the big issues that cause stress, like why bad things happen to good people. It was written while the author was in prison, and he was executed shortly afterward.

I had mistakenly thought that this is another author that recycles generic self-help knowledge from others until I found myself in dire need to change my goal-setting and achieving habits. The author distilled all the useful knowledge from some of the greatest, earlier authors (Nalopean Hill, Earl Nightingale, etc.) and condensed it into one single book in a captivating way. “You are responsible for everything in your life right now” is the biggest takeaway I got from this book. It has helped me frame my thoughts around the fact that I am the cause of my results, and that I can make a difference in my life.

Life is a battle, and neurocycling is like the daily cleaning of your sword and shield. The battle is in the mind, so polish your weapons. This book teaches us how to identify toxic thoughts, uproot them and replace them with healthy thoughts. What I love about this book is that these are thinking strategies and they require consistency. There’s no quick fix. If you develop these skills, you can carry them with you forever and make them part of your everyday life enabling you to renew your mind at all times.

The Art of Not Thinking is a self-guide book that helps you process your thoughts and guides you to have a better perception of things and situations. When I started reading it, I just got out of a toxic relationship with so many things to work on myself. I have no clue where to start nor what to do with my life that I almost gave up living. Then I found this book, it helped me alot into understanding how to let go, stop stressing myself over things I have no control, and also, how to manage my goals better.

Most of us work hard to achieve wealth, but after personally burning out on that journey, I had to epically get aligned with why I wanted to succeed financially. This book helped me find joy in money, rewrite some of the stories I‘ve said about money in the past, and become insanely clear on how I wanted to put wealth to good use. It all comes down to being happy on your way there, not just when you “make it” to your success destination.
