Book 2 post 1

 I chose to read resilient by Dr Rick Hanson, and I must admit to some extent it was because it got here faster on amazon. However this is not a completely random choice either and I do think I will get quite a lot from it. I have had a tough last 6 months emotionally and a lot of it has been spent thinking and trying to understand myself. So this book was naturally appealing and I wanted to see what matched and what differed between the way I handled it and how the book describes it. 

If I’m being honest I’m not really into self improvement and such things I just try to solve my issues in the most pragmatic way possible and by not considering my emotions. To me this seems to work pretty well and it allows me to make good decisions. However these are usually quite emotionally taxing and often my choices are hard to take in even knowing they’re right. So I'm hoping to get maybe a second point of view from this work. 

According to some of the comments the book also talks about controlling feelings, like anger in the moment. In other words, how to be a calmer person. I do already consider myself a very calm person but a little extra knowledge wouldn't hurt. I think if anything I’m hoping to learn how to cope with the emotional consequences of my decision better, and I think this will deliver.
