The 3 Books To Read When You Are Down With Covid-19

For most of us, Covid-19 will feel like the mild flu, particularly if you’re fully vaccinated and have had your booster shot. To reduce the strain on the healthcare system, home recovery is now the default method of care for those with Covid-19.

The silver lining of being stuck at home while you are recuperating from Covid-19 is getting to cozy up with a good book, especially one that will encourage you to think about your life and goals from new perspectives.

Therefore, I would like to implore you to never stop learning. Books provide you with incredible mentors and amazing insights into the minds of people who have been there and done it.

Since there are so many books out there, it can be overwhelming to pick the ones worth reading. After all, you need your mindset right and you need to filter the best information to make the best decisions in a chaotic and changing system.

Below are some recommendations that I would recommend you to read while self-isolating at home.

"Reading is to the mind like exercise is to the body and prayer is to the soul. We become the books we read." 

This book is absolutely fantastic as every 20, 30, and 40-year-old should be reading this. Why? He gives you access to some of the world’s most powerful people, which most of us won’t have the privilege of interviewing & meeting in real life. The pieces of advice provided by his interviewees such as Gary Vee, Ray Dalio, Susan Cain and etc are helpful and interesting. Each interview is a few pages long. Through reading it, I’ve learned to ask better questions, embrace failures, and be discerning about taking advice.

Thought-provoking, important, and actionable. In this wise and practical book, Gary discusses the 12 qualities (human ingredients) that have contributed to his success and happiness and offers exercises to help you cultivate these qualities as well. He also shares what the “half” is—that emotional ingredient of leadership he’s weakest at and makes the most effort to improve. Working through the ideas and exercises in the book, he teaches you how to discover your own “halves” and offers insight on how to strengthen them. 

Now, I get it. When you have Covid-19, you are going to think of all the repercussions and side effects that it'll cost you. Post-Covid conditions such as difficulty thinking or concentrating, sleep problems and etc. But if you feel that life is an emergency and could use some peace in your life, this book is a great choice for you. It is beautifully written with small chapters each encouraging the reader to self-evaluate and bring about the much-awaited change in life.

I hope these books will help you in your journey toward your recovery from Covid-19, self-awareness, getting motivated, and getting clear on what you want to achieve in the remainder of 2023.

With that, I would like to wish those of you who are affected by the coronavirus to hang in there and I wish you a swift recovery!
