Oliver James: How To Develop Emotional Health [1]

Goodreads only shows a rating of 3.59/5 but personally I would recommend it. It speaks about how the early years are crucial for developing emotional health and what parents can do.

Disclaimer: I am not a parent so I can't tell how much it helps in practice.

stbn··on Show HN: Select Star SQL, an interactive SQL book
I strongly agree. Rarely do I see such a humanistic approach in tech. It brings an important matter to our attention and is meaningful. As a side note, what is meaningful is pedagogically valuable, because what has meaning is easier to remember.
stbn··on Ask HN: Which types of tech jobs are best for people that can't handle stress?
Just a few days ago, I asked a similar question which may be interesting to some:

stbn··on Ask HN: Being Highly Sensitive (HSP), can I find fulfilling work in tech?
Thank you for instilling some optimism. Of course you're right, one has to keep looking.
stbn··on Ask HN: Being Highly Sensitive (HSP), can I find fulfilling work in tech?
Thanks for the suggestion! That would be something in the context of either education or administration, right? Ironically, I always had the idea that people end up in the university system if they're »not good enough to work in the real world«.

Thank you for your extensive comment! Lots of food for thought, and much appreciated. I have tried Enneagram before (being a 4 as well, IIRC), but I may need to look into it again in more detail.

This looks very cool, thank you! I have an issue, though: Can't open the File and Mind Map menus, neither on Firefox nor Chromium nor Opera.

stbn··on One Road Out of Depression
Thank you for publishing this. The mere notion that there's other people dealing with similar problems helps easing the pain, maybe because one feels understood for a change, to some extent at least. In fact, I found your piece so valuable that I created an offline copy to keep.

And I think all the reactions in this thread are just substitutional for a multitude of readers; you never know how many lives you have actually touched. Even writing this ridicilous comment needed to be overcome because depression feels like such a shameful thing to admit.
