Books

After researching academic appropriate sources, I wanted to see if there were any books that could help me with my research topic. I looked up “Insecurity” and “fear” on Google.

I noticed that there were an abundant amount of self-help and how-to books. Attached is a snapshot of the "shopping" results I found on Google. 

If I didn't find the article before about how we rely so much on consumerism, I would go directly towards one of these books to see what they said about how to help. However, I do realize that every person is different and I cannot just assume that reading a how-to or a self-help book will lead to depression or even more anxiety disorders. I cannot just assume that everyone that reads and follows a how-to or self-help book will become even more worse in the future. I have to acknowledge that in order to move forward with my research. 

So with that said, I found (but did not buy or check out) a well-written book about insecurity called

Watts, A. (2011). The Wisdom of Insecurity. (2nd ed.). Random House Digital Inc.

• Copied from the inside flap of the novel: An exploration of man's quest for psychological security and spiritual certainty in religion and philosophy.
• This book is full of quotes to inspire individuals to move on from the past, minimize yearning and planning for the future, and focus on the present.
•  On amazon, the book has a 4.5/5 stars which means that the people who read this obviously had a positive impact on them.

This book is only one out of plentiful books that help with the inner self that pertains to insecurity and fear. How-to and self-help books are a spiritual strategy to minimize insecurity and fears because they are written by professionals that may or may not teach that for a living.
