Deborah Planting's Resources

General Well-being
  • Brené Brown: Beginning with the two Ted Talks, The Power of Vunerability and Listening to Shame, Brown has become a very well-known inspirational speaker and author of several books, all of which I would recommend. She also has online workshops (with homework!) which I have followed and found very helpful and insightful.
  • Susan Cain: Ted Talk: The Power of Introverts
  • The Power of Habit (Duhigg)
  • The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (Ruiz)
  • Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience (Csikszentmihalyi)
  • Heartmath: Heart Coherence
  • Byron Kati: Her first book, Loving What Is, incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy in a unique and confrontational manner. If you explore her website, thework.com, you will find the four questions she asks that have defined her approach.
Anxiety
  • The Worry Trick: How Your Brain Tricks You into Expecting the Worst and What You Can Do About It (Carbonell)
    I have read many books about worry and anxiety, and the way the author is able to explain the anxious brain, with humor and doable coping techniques, is impressive.

Depression
  • I Don’t Want To Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression (Real)

Documents
  • Diaphragmatic Breathing Technique (Wehrenberg)
  •             As a wise person once said at a conference, “Anxiety is a breathing disorder”. This exercise is             one of the many breathing techniques that you can use. I find this one helpful and easy to             follow.
