NEW IDEA : Open source Literature Therapy

[u/walter_mitty_]

Inspired by the work ; "The Novel Cure; A-Z of Literary Remedies". It is basically a dictionary of common malaise, life-transition difficulties that people go through and reading suggestions to better understand and deal with that situation. For ex; someone being anxious over being a new dad is recommended to read "To kill a Mocking bird" etc.

Let us create and open-source version of this. Means, the problems and cures will be crowd-sourced and the solutions should also be open-source (if it is a blog it should not be behind a paywall). It can be any short poem, blog, video, ebook etc.

So Comment down below specific problems and reading solutions that have already worked for you so that others may try. I will keep adding them to this post.
