The book 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think is a collection of short online essays collated into printed form. These essays share a general theme and genre but are not grouped or themed in clusters; they are stand-alone pieces. The collection is unified by an Introduction that sets out Wiest’s general approach: that self-knowledge and self-compassion are important for well-being and that each person has the ability to obtain these through their own mental processes.

Although the essays are varied, in aggregate they address a number of broader topics. Wiest consistently argues that people only allow themselves to feel a certain level of happiness because of fear. Many negative feelings result from people’s fear of discomfort. She also asserts throughout that daily practice leads to happiness, through a daily commitment to reaching gratitude and satisfaction with what one has. Wiest discusses the idea that chasing life narratives or expectations will not lead to happiness. Chasing a certain narrative about one’s life plays into futures that are impossible to predict. It is futile, she argues, for someone to decide what they want once and chase it forever. What a person wants is constantly changing. She urges the reader to consider the question “What do I want?” every day.

Throughout, Wiest’s essays explore psychological ideas like attachment styles and happiness thresholds alongside philosophical ideas that ask the purpose and meaning of one’s life. She explores relationships, emotions, self-improvement, the limits and opportunities of the modern world, creativity, and mindfulness, offering advice and reflection prompts.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

Brianna Wiest was just 24 when 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think was published, proving that wisdom doesn’t only come with age. Wiest’s endgame is happiness. To get you there, she tackles big questions in the vein of “What’s the meaning of life?”—but she discusses them with a light touch, in relatable, everyday language. (In other words, you don’t need a philosophy degree to read this!) One recurring idea that really resonates is Wiest’s reframing of the past not as a fixed, unchangeable reality, but as an ever-shifting variety of experiences and memories. She explains how this helps us stop seeing painful or traumatic events in our lives as impediments to our current happiness. Wiest makes the path to enlightenment easier by breaking down her advice into bite-size bullet points that are as wise as they are Instagram-ready. If you’re inspired by the work of Brené Brown and Don Miguel Ruiz, Brianna Wiest might just become your new favorite self-help author.

I think you should read it..

I think is such a good book and it did teach me a lot in many aspects of my life, I’m grateful to find it and read it. The only thing I don’t like its when in the book they expand a subject that could have finished really quickly

One of the best books I have ever read..

Truly an amazing, insightful read. I will say along with all the hard work I’ve done on myself as far as growing and healing goes, this book has changed my life and definitely for the better. Highly recommended this book to everyone no matter what stage of life you are in.

A nice think piece.

Saw the comments on this book and was unsure if would buy it. I sampled the first chapter or 2 and found myself interested in reading more. I throughly enjoyed it and will recommend it to my friends.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question. Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

• Performance 4.5 out of 5 stars 147,648

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

A gentle reminder for when your heart is full of hope and for when you are learning how to heal it. A gentle reminder for when you finally begin to trust in the goodness and for when you need the kind of words that hug your broken pieces back together. A gentle reminder for when growth hangs heavy in the air, for when you need to tuck your strength into your bones just to make it to tomorrow.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money , award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn.
