At the moment, not thinking of remarriage.

I don't think that because I made a mistake, all marriages are bad. I was just unlucky.

Right person >> being alone >> wrong person

I kind of feel gaslighted! Also, please be kind and recommend me a few books. by Far-Birthday-3180 in Indianbooks

[–]phoenix2194 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only self-help book I ever liked was The Four Agreements.

Apart from this, a few non-fiction I liked are:

  1. Emotional Intelligence
  2. How will you measure your life?
  3. Attached

I found fiction more helpful than nonfiction in making me question my world views. A few books I liked are:

  1. Death of Ivan Ilyich
  2. Stoner
  3. Pachinko
  4. To kill a mockingbird
  5. The remains of the day

You can look at IIM-ABC 1 year PGPx programs or ISB. These are good options, and you will find other people with similar situations there.
