Want to get inspired? Read one of these great books!
Personal growth is essential to being human. In order to feel like we are progressing in life, we need to expand our way of thinking, and keep moving in the direction we want to go. Books are a gateway to growth, and there's little more satisfying than spending a rainy afternoon curled up on the couch with a great book. If you're looking for a book that will inspire you to grow, here are our three top favorites.
Anxiety needs global health attention
Depression is common worldwide with 4.4% of people estimated to be affected at any given point in time, and 5.9% of women in African countries. Many LMICs, ranging from small low-income countries like Zimbabwe and Malawi, to large middle-income countries like India, south Africa and China are trying to develop programmes for mental health with limited resources.
Age, gender and culture 'predict loneliness'
Young people, men and people in "individualistic" societies report higher levels of loneliness, according to a large-scale global study.
Green spaces provide us with well-being
Public parks are many things to many people: a space devoid of domestic chores and patriarchal expectations, a spot to cultivate friendship or love, a place where you can experience a feeling of freedom that is absent elsewhere, an opportunity to «visit» trees from a country you have not seen in a long time, a way of being part of a group while sitting alone on your bench - or even the perfect setting for running a small business to help you get by. Public parks are all this and much more if we're to believe the inhabitants of four Asian mega-cities - Chennai, Singapore, Manila and Shanghai - who were interviewed as part of a recently-published study. Green spaces, we learn, do much more than simply benefit biodiversity and health: they also meet numerous other essential human needs that open the door to sustainable well-being, a concept based on a combination of personal well-being and the necessities of sustainable development.
