Witness his allegory of two astronauts stranded on the moon and destined to die in two days time as their air runs out, no chance of rescue at all. In an approach to philosophy merging Stoicism, Transcendentalism, Buddhism (of course), and Existentialism all at once, the author shows how we can so deeply reframe our thinking about life such as it is that the very times we are living through can come to be seen as a blessing (used in a secular sense) rather than burden. Rather, you just need to be a human being who has ever experienced moments of doubt, depression, isolation, anxiety, and so forth. You don’t have to be a Buddhist to get a good deal of inspiration from renowned writer and Buddhist scholar Thich Nhat Hanh’s seminal work, No Death, No Fear. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig.The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale.A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr.Make Your Bed by Admiral William McRaven.
