Hi guys, how you doing? In order to defeat the addiction i started to read, and recommend to you that dont have this habbit to do it, is very good learn new things and occupy your time, making very more pleasuring the fight against PMO/any other addiction. My first book after start fighting this addiction was Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer, amazing book that shows the spiritual side of our fight against our difficulties. Even if you dont see yourself as a christian, i seriously recommend this book. Tomorrow i will start The Art of War by Sun Tzu. So, what books you people recommend? [I will use this post to record my journey of readings, and invite you guys to the same] List of books finished after joining NoFap: Battlefield of Mind - Joyce Meyer Me and My Big Mouth!: Your Answer Is Right Under Your Nose - Joyce Meyer Exodus - Bible Straight Talk on Fear - Joyce Meyer The Root of Rejection: Escape the Bondage of Rejection and Experience the Freedom of God's Acceptance - Joyce Meyer Sem medo de vencer - Roberto Shinyashiki Amar pode dar certo - Roberto Shinyashiki The Magician's Nephew - C. S. Lewis
I've always wanted to pick up Art of War. I can personally recommend: Break Free by Vladimir Savchuk Unoffendable by Brant Hansen Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom
Walden - Thoreau Ossendowski -Beasts, Men and Gods Sheldrake - The Science Delusion Aldous Huxley - Brave New World
The book of Ecclesiastes. I’ve found that almost any question I have about life can be found and answered in those 12 chapters.
Some great recommendations here and I'm definitely going to add some to my every growing too read list! So thanks everyone for sharing. A few from me: Digital Minimalism - Cal Newport You are not a Gadget - Jaron Lanier 10 Arguments to Delete Your Social Media - Jaron Lanier Notes on a Nervous Planet - Matt Haig As you can see, a bit of a theme throughout these book recommendations but each one really had an impact on me and they all share some common threads in regards to technology and how it effects us. I have over the last month removed myself from all social media, I wasn't much of a user anyway but have officially terminated my accounts. This is also my first day signing onto my laptop in the whole time of this streak. Approaching with the mindset of if I can't go on my laptop I can't watch P and it's proving effective so far. Just giving you a little background too highlight that I'm quite passionate about trying to reduce screen/technology based time. Best of luck with your progress, I hope you like The Art of War. Interesting book for sure.
M. Scott Peck- The Road Less Travelled Viktor Frankl - Man's Search for Meaning Eckhart Tolle - The Power of Now
The Name of The Wind - Patrick Rothfuss The Wise Man's Fear - Patrick Rothfuss The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien
hi try this two books: Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche - The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness Shunmyō Masuno - Zen: The Art of Simple Living
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield (Don't sleep) Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins (Buckle up) I think the most important one has to be " A Man's Search for Meaning." Victor Frankl's Book on Logotherapy. A Classic!
I finished Exodus yesterday, amazing book. I like to compare the liberation of Israel from Egypt with the liberation of us from PMO: end of suffering and start of blessings.
I liked battlefield of the mind although I had trouble applying the last 3rd of it. If you haven’t read boundaries yet definitely check that out. It describes a lot of addictions as the result of setting weak boundaries with yourself
I finished Me and My Big Mouth from Joyce Meyer yesterday. After this book i realized how much talking a lot can destroy our lives.
