This book is really relatable to most people no matter if the person reading has the same level of difficulties currently facing or has faced.

The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus
This product was recommended by Allia Luzong from Sword Encyclopedia
It’s a tough book to read if you’re not used to academic text, but Camus’ quiet determination to enjoy life anyway, even if the universe is indifferent and defies human understanding, got me out of my lowest point. There’s no soft hand-holding about how it’s going to be better, The Myth of Sisyphus just shrugs its shoulders and vibes.

This product was recommended by Jacob Villa from Authority
This book provides realistic concepts about life, and the first thing you’ll learn is that problems are inevitable. The book shares that we have to stop trying too hard and waiting for positive things to happen because as humans, we are bound to be wrong and make failures. Everything that happens to us has a purpose and meaning. What’s important is that we learn from them and improve. Out of all the things happening in our lives, we should figure out which ones matter and are important to us.
Unscripted by Claire Handscombe
This product was recommended by Israel Gaudette from IG Marketing Inc.
It’s about a woman who loses her job, and she goes through a lot of ups and downs trying to find a new one. It has funny parts, sad parts, and happy parts—but it also has that feeling of being uplifting even when things are going poorly. The main character is so relatable that you feel like you’re reading about yourself in some places, even though she does things like travel to Australia for work or have a baby at 38 years old (which I’d never do). It’s an easy read, but it doesn’t feel dumbed-down or overly simplistic. The story moves along quickly and doesn’t drag anywhere. And while it’s not something you’d want to read if you’re looking for something deep and complex, it’s perfect if all you want is something fun and lighthearted.

The Salt Path by Raynor Winn
This product was recommended by Granger McCollough from Elite Patio Direct
The Salt Path by Raynor Winn is one of the most uplifting true stories I have ever read and is a real tear-jerker because of it. Winn tells the story of how she and her husband lost their business and home in the space of a day, just before her husband was diagnosed with a brain disease. Instead of letting this crush them, they decided to walk 630 miles across the coast, and remind themselves of the natural beauty surrounding them. This is a book about hope and acceptance, and although it has some dark subject matters, it is very uplifting to hear her reminiscing.

The Christmas Wedding by James Patterson

Walt Disney by Neal Gabler

It’s the definitive story of one of the greatest American entrepreneurs of all time, and Gabler tells his warts and all story without punching any punches or trying to brush over any of the less flattering moments of Walt’s life.

Varieties of Disturbance is a great, uplifting book. It is full of quick stories, which make it easier for you to read at least one every day. It’s also gorgeously written and really, really funny.

And even when stories get dark, you will still be laughing due to Davis’ incredible sense of humour and ability to explore the little things that make us flawed, special, and undeniably human. This is one of those books that will make you forgive yourself for being too hard on yourself. Some of my favourite uplifting stories are in this book..”
