Dear Redditors,
I am a lawyer at the beginning of his career in his early 30's from Europe. I have saved up money for years to fund my childhood dream and travel to New Zealand (obviously because of Lord of the Rings 🙂 ) for almost a month. I am gonna be doing a roadtrip with my girlfriend who I will propose to during our visit.
At my early years I have lost my father and suffering from severe anxiety and panic attacks since then. Even though I have achieved many things in my life I have the feeling that it is not enough, which can be traced back to my childhood trauma. Unfortunately during the weeks I do not have the time to read as I am sitting in front of the computer and I simply just get exhausted.
I am planning this trip as a chance to get out of my comfort zone and hopefully show myself that I myself can still be able to enjoy life if the conditions are right. But I also want this trip to be somewhat psychological as I will have time to think finally after years.
I would kindly ask you to recommend my some books that you think would fit this kind of transformation. It can be of any genre. I always read fiction and fantasy because it helps me travel to unseen wordls, where my problems seem so far away. But that is not always the right choice. Sometimes it is better to face the fear then to run away to distant imaginery lands. I would also appreciate self help books, novels, basically anything.
Thanks in advance.
