Transcripts
so I read all these self-help books in
the last year and a half and I'm going
to let you know if they're worth it and
the lessons I learned from them so you
don't have to read them and make sure to
subscribe down below gives me a thumbs
up and let's get started the first book
is the book of boundaries by Melissa
Urban this book is great if you want to
learn how to stand up for yourself how
to set a limit how to set a boundary
whether it's in the workplace
relationship a friendship a neighbor
it's basically a good guide on what to
do when you don't know what to do the
majority of this book is basically just
templates of things to say and how to
say boundary now do I think this is an
essential book yes if you're just very
new into learning when to draw a line
and walk away but if you already know
how to do that you don't need to read
this why men love
this is tabbed this book was one
of the books that changed my life in
terms of sense of myself confidence yes
this is a dating book but I don't view
it as that I view this as a book of
holding yourself with high value how to
respect yourself and show other people
how to treat you and there's this
concept in this book between the nice
girl aka the dmat and the the girl
who knows what she wants the is
someone who is not afraid to walk away
when she's not being treated nice she's
not whiny she's not begging for someone
to treat her right she knows who she is
she knows what she's worth and if you
are not treating her right she's going
to walk away but the nice girl that
dorat will people please will make
excuses for someone's poor actions will
constantly try to beg someone to be
there in her life because she doesn't
know how to be on her own so this is
great Atomic habits this is I think a
self-development book favorite I think
you have all seen this book heard of
this book every time I go into the
bookstore I just see this everywhere the
number one lesson I've learned from this
book which I talk about in my Tik toks
all the time and I've talked about on my
podcast is called the 1% rule meaning
you be better by 1% every day you show
up as your higher self by 1% % every day
this new version of You by 1% every day
because I feel like if you go to bed
tonight and tomorrow you show up as this
higher version of yourself by 100% it's
not sustainable first of all and you're
going to get imposture syndone you're
going to be like this is not me this is
not how I show up so if you just show up
by 1% which is so easy so doable over
time the trajectory of your life will
change the mountain as you I cannot
recommend this book enough if you are in
your healing girl era if you want to
have a better understanding within
yourself this book is phenomenal the
author has a bunch of other books
however this is the only one that I
recommend from her it's a short easy
read such a good introduction into
self-development self-healing
self-discovery when are you
self-sabotaging and what does that look
like your ego your intuition your
subconscious mind even and one thing I
took away from this book is that when
someone does us wrong don't seek out
revenge seek out a glow up within you
best types of glow up is when you feel
good in yourself and sometimes a glowup
is not something someone else can see
and that's okay because that is for you
the secrets of a Millionaire Mind this
is for all of girls that want to build
wealth and build a wealthy mindset as
you follow me on my channel and my
podcast glowing from within which you
should be listening to it you know I
talk about how our subconscious mind
plays a huge role in our everyday life
in the money we earn in our friendships
and our relationships and our
self-concept and our confidence our
brain is so powerful and when we want to
accumulate wealth we have to have a
wealthy money mindset and one of the
lessons I love in this book is it's
talking about how we kind of have a
financial thermostat right we have a
thermostat of what we feel worthy of
having is your financial thermostat set
towards spending saving earning this
whole book is understanding the energy
around money because money is an energy
and I highly recommend this it's a short
book so yes read this because it is so
small I flew through this so quickly
Think and Grow Rich for women um I read
this on my Kindle this is the same book
as thinking Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
however it's updated and more for women
and it's by Sharon lecher there's so
many stories in here from women Founders
and women who you know took a chance on
themselves and and creating their dream
life so if you're a woman in business or
you're starting a side hustle or you're
wanting to just build wealth within
yourself this is great because again
this talks about the energies of money
and the way that you view Money the way
you receive money you are a badass and
you are badass making money this was the
very first self-help book I've read
along with why men love and this
one is all about money I don't recommend
this one um I think these two books I
recommended in this video are much
better this is kind of like an
introduction into the energy around
money and wealth and your mindset and
this one is a good book again it's a
good introduction into self-development
into knowing yourself however I think
this book that I recommend is better
than this one so do I recommend these
yes if you're just getting started into
reading self-development but I feel like
over time there are a lot better books
attached we have an attachment style
whether you're an anxious attachment an
avoidant or secure so anxious people
right often are preoccupied with the
relationship and tend to worry about
their partner's ability to love them
back right they're anxious about the
relationship they need more reassurance
avoidance equate love and closeness with
loss of Independence right and
constantly trying to minimize closeness
and the thing is is a lot of anxious
people and a lot of avoidant people are
in relationships and it's this constant
pull and back of a cycle that you don't
want to be in and secure people are
people who feel comfortable with love
and security and they're warm and loving
and these are the types of people that
are really good for anxious people
because an anxious person wants
reassurance wants that love and the
secure person is able to give it because
they know that showing love does not
mean you're losing your freedom I think
there's nothing wrong with all three
attachments I think it's just knowing
what you are and what kind of
relationships you need in your life to
balance that out is what is key this
book is called you can heal your life
this kind of goes along with this book
um the body keeps a score our body holds
on to trauma it holds on to emotion and
ultimately that can manifest in physical
pain this book talks about in great
detail this one talks about in like you
know what area do you feel pain and then
what that means and it is really
fascinating to read if you have gone
through some hard stuff and you have AEM
Motion in your body these are great
along with the mountains youth that's
like a trifecta that I love so those are
all the books I read make sure to follow
me on Instagram and Tik Tok at w INSP Co
Victoria and follow this YouTube channel
because it helps me out so much and I
will see you guys in next video bye guys
