About book Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It (2012)
This is one of the shortest, yet most powerful books on personal change that I have read. Kamal condenses enormous amounts into very, very simple steps for powerful self change. He is right, the book could just be the cover plus the words "Love Yourself" but nobody would get the true power without reading the other 68 pages.This is a very simple read - I would recommend it as an invaluable book in everyone's collection. Very short, very simple book. The basic idea is that you repeat "I love myself" over and over in your head as a mantra, choosing to repeat that instead of the other junk that usually loops non-stop in there until you wear a new groove with it, deeper and better than the old ones. I probably would have dismissed the idea out of hand, but someone I respect a lot tried it and got results within only a few days. Ok, I'm game. I've been trying for years figure out how to love myself unconditionally. Maybe I was making it too complicated.The other pieces of the puzzle are a simple meditation, basically breathe in "I love myself" and breathe out whatever comes up, and a question: "If I loved myself truly and deeply, would I let myself experience this?" That question knocks me out. I'm definitely using that!Notes:location 427:"James Altucher, in one of his best blog posts, talks about how he stops negative thoughts in their tracks with a simple mind trick. 'Not useful,' he tells himself. It's a switch, a breaker of sorts…"This is the book with the story about the doctor curing the schizophrenic who was hallucinating snakes.
