Life changing more than mind bending: The Charisma Myth. Only reading it won't change anything, but start practicing the exercises and your whole life will change, and quickly. If you just want to get a taste, see below.
Three quick tips to gain an instant charisma boost:
1. Lower the intonation of your voice at the end of your sentences.
2. Reduce how quickly and how often you nod.
3. Pause for two full seconds before you speak.
From this summary: https://github.com/benigeri/books/blob/master/The%20Charisma%20Myth%20by%20Olivia%20Fox%20Cabane.md https://github.com/benigeri/books/blob/master/The%20Charisma...
Those tips are in the introduction of the book so you can see if it works for you and decide if you want to continue reading the rest.
Personally, when I started doing only those 3 things, weird things happened that completely changed the behavior of other people towards me and then how I felt about other people. Worth a try.
- carapace 6y agoHa! I saw that book at a book store, skimmed it, and laughed because the author (perhaps unknowingly) has actually written a manual of basic spirituality!
- ta1234567890 6y agoYou are totally right. There are many different meditation exercises, ways to control anxiety and calm down, as well as mindfulness tips and tricks. In some ways it does point towards discovering your own path to happiness, by trying different things and seeing what works for you. Given that humans are wired to be social and we pretty much all live in society, a lot of the things that afflict us have to do with the way we relate to others, which is exactly what the book is about :)
