Below are a list of books I think are worth a read. Some will help with anxiety and others will give you a window into how people live.
“In truth, you gain confidence by doing things before you’re ready, while you’re still scared. Go through the motions and your confidence will catch up.’ If you wait until you are ready to do the things that scare you because you feel like you aren’t ready, you will never get around to doing them. We gain comfort and confidence through being uncomfortable.” ― Ellen Hendriksen, How to Be Yourself: Quiet Your Inner Critic and Rise Above Social Anxiety“Networks and systems can be hacked, but they can also be protected; when the “system” in question is a human being, there is no software to fall back on, no hardware upgrade, no code that can lock information down indefinitely. Human nature and emotion is the secret weapon of the malicious social engineering, and this book shows you how to recognize, predict, and prevent this type of manipulation by taking you inside the social engineer’s bag of tricks.”Compared to the other books on this page, this one will stick out a bit. How could this ever help anyone apart from keep them away from certain areas of the world? Well, it’s the people within it. While the book is advertised almost like a newspaper headline, it’s filled with stories of people in real situations and how they got there. Humanziing some of the worst sounding enviroments in the world gives you a whole new understanding that can make you think twice about only taking one side of a story. Nothing is black and white. Not even the worst of the worst.
