Say No to Negativity and Win the Fight In Your Head

 Say No to Negativity and Win the Fight In Your Head, Jonah Okpara, 2023

 

An Uber driver can meet all kinds of people, good and bad.

 

On one trip, the author (a recent emigrant to America from Nigeria) met an older man who felt like a failure. He was totally unable to work due to a severe health condition. Another passenger was a young woman in tears because her boyfriend was treating her horribly. The author talked to them, and gave them some encouragement, some common sense and a bit of religion. Both passengers left his car feeling a lot better.

 

This book explores subjects like how not to be depressed, how to reduce your anxiety, how to deal with seasonal affective disorder and how to relieve stress in your life.

 

The author is not an academic or theologian, but an average person. This book is surprisingly good and very inspirational. For anyone having an emotional rough time, regardless of the cause, reading this book is an excellent idea.
