Favorite books to make you feel good - South Denver Cardiology

When it comes to heart health and what causes heart disease, we spend a lot of time talking about eating healthy and staying fit. But, sometimes it’s just plain old good medicine that feeds your minds and uplifts you that can be some of the best medicine. And, in the winter months, there is nothing better than curling up on the couch with something warm to drink and a good book. To that end, we have put together a little list of books for some winter reading. These are classified as feel good books and most are widely available from the likes of Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iBooks, and more. Or, better yet, most local libraries.
 

I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban – By Malala Yousafzia and Christina Lamb

This book is the true story of Malala who, at 15 years old, was shot point blank in the head by the Taliban while riding home from school. Few expected her to survive, but she did and she refused to be silenced about the right for an education in a culture where it is hard for girls to go to school. By 16, she became the symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laurate. It is the story of the fight for girls’ education, a father who encourages his daughter to write and attend school, and brave parents with a fierce love for a daughter in a society that prizes sons. The book makes readers believe in the power of one voice that can inspire and change the world.
