pinkfloydforeverlove Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm feeling a lot of pressure from school lately. It's a long story, but this is my last chance to do well in school before they kick me out. I'm currently on academic probation until summer. I love books so I want to make a career as a librarian and a book author and I am pretty well-read. So I was just wondering, what are some books that have helped you while you were down in the dumps, or stressed, or anxious, or a mixture of the three? Or another thing entirely?

pinkfloydforeverlove Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 And just to clarify, I HAVE read the "Books for family and friends", and some of them were good, but are there any other recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt07 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I don't have any particular books to suggest, but when I am down and need encouragement, I like to read biographies of great people in my profession or in similar professions. They inspire me and help motivate me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to give too much away and betray my anonymity so I'll just say science. But I'm not practicing now because of my illness and life circumstances.
