Literary Tag: What book would you give to…?

If you usually enter YouTube channels of 'Booktubers' or if you are a regular reader of literary blogs, you will have found that the so-called 'literary tags'. With these tags, the aim is to recommend books and / or relate them to one or more characteristics. You can also, thanks to them, get to know a little more about the person you see in videos or read on a blog.

Personally, I want to start making one or a couple of tags of this type per month and thus be able to interact with you to also see your responses that you can leave in the comments section, just below this entry. If it's okay with you, let's start with this one that I present to you today: What book would you give to ...? Next you will see a series of people to whom I will recommend a book by a specific author, a literary saga or also a personalized book. We started!

What book would I give my mother?

For my mother I want a book that motivates her, that makes her forget everything and everyone and helps her focus more on her, that makes her feel alive and that helps her find that long-awaited physical and emotional well-being on a daily basis. It is for all this that the book that I would give him would be "The Book of Small Revolutions" de Elsa punset.

Description

The stress at work, the emotional climate at home, the pessimistic voice that always comes up when we least need it, those toxic environments that do not make us feel good, the fear that invades us in the face of the unknown or the anger that radiates us when something Overcomes will cease to be situations of our day to day that we will not know how to deal with.

We already know what to do when we are hungry, thirsty or sleepy: eat, drink or sleep. But most of us don't know what to do when we are sad, upset, or disappointed.

This book provides us the keys to improving our emotional well-being with small daily actions available to everyone.

What book would I give my father?

I would give my father, as in the case of my mother, one that would help him feel better every day ... What would a son want for his parents more than their happiness and well-being? Nothing!

That is why I would choose the book "Being happy in Alaska: strong minds through thick and thin" de Rafael Santandreu.

Description:

This book presents a scientifically proven method that will allow us to become healthy and emotionally strong, calm, focused on the present and freed from all our fears.

In the words of its author, Rafael Santandreu: "Dear reader: I wait for you on the path of plenitude. It doesn't matter where you are right now; If you start walking in the right direction, you will quickly find the path. As you go through it, the good life will open up like a cherry blossom. Thousands of people before found emotional strength with this same cognitive method. It is also within your reach ».

What book would I give my partner?

With my partner I have it a little easier, since he is assiduous to touch different themes:

Something about history

Some book that narrates an important historical event, or about a civilization that he liked such as the Roman or the Viking ...

Or on the contrary, this book of Yuval Noah Harari, «From animals to Gods», the perfect reading for a man with a passion for history and knowledge. It addresses the life of our species from its origin 100,000 years ago. How do we manage to impose ourselves in the struggle for existence? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How do we come to believe in gods, nations or human rights; to trust money, books or laws? It is a great book that you will certainly enjoy.

Something about economics and entrepreneurship

His studies are related to this subject, so it is always good to deepen our knowledge and expand it.

Something about improvement and motivation

How can the book be "Think like the best warriors" de Mark Divine. As described: This book is perfect for an ambitious man who sets challenging goals and does everything to meet them. It was written by former seal commander Mark Divine and exposes the mental focus and control techniques that help shape the mind for inner strength, emotional resilience, and practical intuition. It is basically a guide for anyone looking to become an elite leader in their own life.

Something written by me

To make him aware of how important he is to me, what it means to have a person like him in my life, etc ... A whole love story, with sweet and cloying touches, wow!

What book would I give my children?

Well, whether it is a boy or a girl, I would give you a book where you talk about the goodness of people and their actions, in the form of a story or fable.

I would also give them "The little Prince" de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, because although I know that it is a book more for adults than for children, I would already make sure that they read it in the future and thus provide them with the incredible teachings that it keeps between its pages.

What book would you give my best friend?

I have it clear! A book that would make you laugh until you cough, that would make you dream, that would make you believe in love again if you had suffered a recent breakup, that would make you forget everything for a while ...

And for this I think I would choose The Valeria Saga de Elisabet benavent. A saga made up of books «Valeria's Shoes», «Valeria in the Mirror», «Valeria in Black and White» y «Valeria al Naked» They narrate the life of four girls who fight to be happy. Nerea, Carmen, Lola and Valeria suffer, cry, laugh, fall in love and, ultimately, try to survive. Madrid will witness your adventures and your efforts to make a place for yourself in the world.

What book would I gift myself?

Well, for me, right now, at this precise moment, I would give myself two books:

• "Women who read are dangerous" de Stefan bollmann.
• Y, "High sensitivity, living from the heart" de karina zegers.

And you, what books would you answer to each of these 6 questions:

• What book would you give your mother?
