You Become What You think: Insights to Level Up Your Happiness, Personal Growth, Relationships, and Mental Health (Life Changing Insights) Paperback – December 21, 2023

Shubham K. Singh is the founder of @bookreadersclub. He blogs about books, offers advice about good reads that are based on your interests, and exhorts people to be reader explorers. He is clearly a bibliophile, particularly of the self-help genre.An idea developed because of the amount of self-growth-orientated books he read. He decided to accumulate the worthwhile parts of the self-improvement books he’d read and compile them all into one book. It’s kind of like a self-help reader’s digest. Shubham believes his compilation is “your key to unlocking the door to a life of fulfillment and meaningful change.”This is Singh’s fourth non-fiction book. In this publication, he solely focuses on how thinking steers our emotions. He claims to cut through the rhetoric and present only valuable and practical insights. Ummm. Ok, I’ll bite.He skims the fat, that’s for sure. He kept my attention. Using ordinary words that appeal to the average person, I found myself asking numerous times, “Is it that simple? How did I miss that?” Because of his uncomplicated insights, the answer was, “Yup.”Our clever author presents relevant quotes from prominent figures in the self-care realm, both in the modern and historical eras. Each quote has a specific focus, where he provides his insights. He sets up this easy-to-follow formula so you can dive into a pristine understanding of complex concepts, giving you room to create a new perspective on life.For example. “Only we humans worry about the future, regret the past, and blame ourselves for the present.” ~ Rick HansonShubham breaks down Hanson’s quote. “Recognize when something causes you pain. Recognize how it makes you feel and wait for the pain to go away. Do not aggravate the situation by becoming angry or upset with any other factors or people involved.”I paused to think on that, and am relieved to report yes, the pain does go away. And another pain comes up and that too goes away. I believe in not making things worse. Therefore, following the advice of not aggravating the situation by not getting angry with other factors or people involved is wise. It allows for wholesome solutions to appear.Self-development is not an easy process. I believe it takes a lifetime of commitment. You never know at what phase of your life you’re receptive to receive that ever-welcoming “AH-HA” moment. I do appreciate Shubham K. Singh’s fervent expertise to the inner workings of us humans and then providing a truncated astute read in the sea of self-help books. If you’re in the mood to learn and practice a lesson that you haven’t mastered, give this enthusiastic author a peruse.

I love the simplicity and thoughtfulness of each insight in this book. It opens your mind to new ideas—just enough to inspire without overwhelming. I read one entry per day, and each time I learned something new. I absolutely love it and will definitely reread it, gift it to loved ones, and recommend it to everyone

Feels to be an AI generated book. But all in all, thought provoking for self help/improvement.

I enjoyed this book. Provides great insight on how to adjust our thoughts and stay positive. If you put positive thoughts out there, it will eventually come back to you. Sometimes longer than we want but when the timing is right, it’ll happen.

This book is a real inspiration & insightful eye opener to a lot of issues of the common human thought process , I highly recommend it for individuals struggling with many of life's social & emotional affairs

Easy to read, great teachings. Should be one of the books to read in every school in the world. Could be a better world for all of us.

I would’t say this was mind blowing. It’s a solid read to get out of your heard and gently shift your perspective. If I was in an anxious mood, I picked this up and read. It helped.

I enjoyed this book very much! there is a saying " give me the meat and throw out the bones" that's how I would describe this book. It is full of great quotes, and inspirational information, but it does not drag on, and on unnecessarily; it gets right to the point and starts on the next. There are plenty of books to read that will elaborate on different subjects, but if you are looking for direction and straight to the point, I recommended this book.
