Fighting the Inside Dragons
This book is designed to help you fight the dragons you have in order for your life to improve. You matter. Always. No doubt. And because of this, you need to live your life to its fullest potential. I know it’s not easy and that we encounter shit everywhere, but the way we see that shit is what makes the difference between a happy life and a shitty life. This book exists so you can get to a point where you can enjoy living every day of your life, including Mondays. Yes, you will have bad days, but you’ll find out what can you do to get out of those states. Shit happens, but YOU can clean it up.
Some of my dragons are here and I’m sure you have similar ones. You are afraid of judging, aren’t you? You do worry about other people’s opinions and it stops you from going forward, don’t you? Do you also overthink and it paralyzes you from time to time? These are some of the dragons I face, plus the fact that English is my second language so this book is not perfect. Yes, I am afraid of your judgement, but I’m also looking forward for it because it’s the only way I can see some flaws I’m not aware of. It’s the only way I can get better in the areas I don’t know I suck. Do you know all the areas you suck? If so, what do you do to improve in those areas?
Life is too short to be perfect, but it’s long enough to make great mistakes. The world is f**ked, but the problem is we’re seeing it worse than it actually is. We know that story that it’s all about perspective, but it’s not enough. We know the story, but we struggle with the path. This book can help you find some insights about the path you need to follow in order to improve your life. Every thought that tries to stop you is a dragon. It might be huge and it might be tough, but you helped creating it. I’m sure it’s not all because of you, but if it exists and if it’s in your way, it’s your responsibility to deal with it. If you don’t do it, you’ll be stuck in the middle of the road all your life wondering where that road leads to.
You only have one life! When it comes to an end, how prepared are you to f**kin’ excuse yourself in front of you because you didn’t have the life you wished for and that you’ve let every little dragon dictate your life?

Honestly if language bothers you this is not a book. It doesn't talk about how much God can change your life, but I really enjoyed it. Probably will reread.

"I had to dedicate a whole chapter to this boss dragon called “fear.” I’m doing this because it’s one of the main obstacles that stand between us and the life we want. We cannot kill this dragon because it’s linked to our survival. Fear exists because we need to know when we are in danger so we can act accordingly."
If you are looking for a conversational self-help book, psychology, or bettering yourself, you have to give Fighting the Inside Dragons a read. Ignat also has a website, Pointless Over Thinking, where you can read interesting content and participate in thought-provoking conversations via daily questions.
I read a digital copy of Fighting the Inside Dragons and found it quite enjoyable. I have read a handful of similar books that all feel more like textbook littered with case studies. Fighting the Inside Dragon does a great job of breaking down complex topics into bite-size snippets anyone can understand and apply to their daily life.
Fighting the Inside Dragons is a conversation with an insightful friend who is a realistic and a tad sarcastic. There are quite a few swears, so if that bothers you in your reading, this is probably not the book for you. While they are plentiful, they do not distract from the reading experience.
One of my favorite things about Fighting the Inside Dragons was the overarching metaphor Ignat waves throughout the books, comparing our inner troubling thoughts and habits to a dragon and conquering those to slaying a dragon. He provides the readers with a sword, knife, shield, and armor all of which you will need to battle your dragon(s).
I liked Fighting The Inside Dragons for many reasons, one being that Ignat comforts the reader by pulling from his own life and crafting relatable examples. He tackles issues almost every person has dealt with from anxiety to facing your fears Ignat has a technique for you. Ignat recommends what to do and the works through an example or two of how to apply this technique in your life.
I recommend you give Fighting the Inside Dragons before picking up other self-help books~

Bogdan Ignat uses humor, sarcasm and metaphor to weave stories meant to arm readers against the inner dragons of destructive thinking. “Fighting the Inside Dragons” is entertaining, conversational in tone, and presents a wealth of strategies for self-improvement. I highly recommend this book!
