Beginners: The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning by Tom Vanderbilt
3.0
This is less of a self-help book and more of a memoir. It was interesting to see the range of things he tried, but it didn't really motivate me to try new things like I thought it would. The beginning started off pretty motivational, but once he started talking about singing lessons it became more of him sharing what he experienced rather than giving advice. Overall, it's a decent book I just didn't see anything eye opening about it.
Don't Worry: 48 Lessons on Relieving Anxiety from a Zen Buddhist Monk by Shunmyō Masuno

This should've been called Don't Worry: 48 Lessons on Relieving Anxiety *in the workplace* because it was mostly based on work anxiety.
The overall message was about being positive which isn't anything new or insightful. Most people say the cure to anxiety is positivity and this can fuel into toxic positivity teachings.
