Book 2 post 2

 I chose to continue reading Resilient by Dr. Rick Hanson because I am always trying to better myself in any way I can. Before purchasing the book, I knew it was going to be about how to develop long-lasting well-being. While I'm not so interested in reading books, I love to read about books that will further my knowledge and build practical tools that will help me in the future, which this book did.

I found this book to be very good and interesting, coming from someone who does not prefer reading books, I enjoyed Resilients a lot. One of my key takeaways from this book is that resilience isn't just about bouncing back from tough times, it's about building inner strengths like mindfulness, gratitude, and compassion to better handle life's challenges. Since your brain can change and adapt, you can train it to focus on positive experiences. By intentionally focusing on the good things, you can rewire your brain to become happier and more resilient.


I recommend "Resilient" by Dr. Rick Hanson because it gives easy-to-follow advice on how to build inner strength and handle life's challenges better. The book teaches simple ways to practice mindfulness so you can focus on positive things. It shows you how to train your brain to be happier and more resilient, helping you adapt and feel better in your daily life.

    Hello Araz, I believe resilience is one of the most essential attributes someone can have, especially in the real world where there can be a lot of rejection. Awesome job Araz!

    As a kid too who doesn't read many books I resonated with this post. Although, I do enjoy reading which might be different from you, I too am motivated to read to better myself and learn new practices that will help me improve. I have never really thought about the link between mindfulness and resilience but now see how they can been inextricably connected. Really liked this post, Araz.

    Hey Araz, your review makes Resilient sound like a practical and inspiring read, especially for those of us who aim to grow and handle life's challenges more effectively. I love how it emphasizes building resilience through mindfulness, gratitude, and compassion which are the qualities that not only help us bounce back but also strengthen our overall well-being.

    Araz, I really appreciate how you’ve embraced the lessons from Resilient, particularly the emphasis on mindfulness and gratitude. It’s a wonderful reminder that resilience involves purposeful growth, not merely recovering from setbacks.

Tell me where you're going Once I finish USC which will be this semester, I will be going into becoming a financial advisor at Wells Fargo.

Random post- Big Bear Trip

  Living in Los Angeles, we don’t get to experience snowy mornings. The idea of waking up to two feet of snow is something we never see here. While LA winters are mild, sometimes my friends and I miss the feeling of a real winter. A few years ago, we started a tradition of going to Big Bear every year during the holidays. We rent a big cabin, gather all our friends, and enjoy the snow we don’t get in LA. It’s something we all look forward to. Before we head up there, besides splitting the cabin cost, everyone also chips in around $150 for food and drinks. We usually stop at a grocery store like Costco to buy a bunch of meat for BBQ, beer, liquor, and snacks. That way, we have everything we need and no one has to leave the cabin just because they’re hungry. What makes this tradition even better is the time we spend together. The holidays are all about being close to the people you care about and being in the mountains with snow makes that even more special. We rarely even leave the ...
