Books are the best containers for information and they've changed my mindset for the better. I compiled all my favorite self development books into one video and separated them into 4 categories: Productivity, Socializing, Confidence, and Awakening. I also provided time stamps so you can flick to whatever book that tickles your fancy~ Which one would you wanna read?

This kind of content never gets old - thank you Jenn! I'm so excited to start reading the books on productivity and confidence because those aspects of my life have take a severe hit during lockdown.

I love all your content but especially your book recs! It's so cool to see how wholesome you are and how much you always challenge yourself to learn more about yourself and about the world. So inspiring!

Jenn, this is great - 1) love that you take care of yourself, are curious and invest in your learning, and 2) appreciate how you always want to help others with your videos! I also really enjoyed that you have the video sectioned out by segments on the books; it was helpful to know what/how long to expect with each. Much love!

Jenn, really appreciate you being vulnerable and open about your trip experience - have always considered it for similar reasons that you did it. Love that it helped, and love you and your amazing book recs ❤️

I love these recs, thank you! If you’re ever interested, I think it’d be super cool to hear more about your trip experience. It’s something I’m looking into myself for it’s therapeutic potential and I’m always down to hear more about people’s experiences!

I'm so glad you have shared these books with us! I was going through a 2 year self-care journey discovering ways to better myself and my mindset as I was going through a really tough few years. Self development books have really helped me through this journey and can't wait to read some of the books that you have recommended! 💖💖💖

you are so vulnerable and strong and i can tell you've grown so much bc of these! and you are so well-spoken and v relatable

thank you for being so vulnerable with us, its truly impactful. I honestly love you more with every video and I've been watching for years

3 necessary skills for personal development: 1. GROWTH mindset - get away from the "fixed mindset" where you are afraid of getting out of your comfort zone. 2. STAY CALM - learn how to de-stress yourself and de-escalate a tense situation 3. RESILIENCE - learn to bounce right back: learn from your mistake and try again.

I live for these videos and just studying your mind! You really helped me out this pandemic, got so much love for you, Jen. Can’t wait to see all your practice in writing and reading develop into a novel you write on your own!

I love your book recs! New hair is fav, but I must congratulate on bringing out topics that may seem controversial in a honest, critical way. I appreciate that you didn't "filter" yourself and talk the talk about your experiences!

i think it's time for my introverted self to finally read how to win friends and influence people after you recommended it a couple times on this channel already, thank you for this video jenn! your hair looks amazing too btw!

I love some of these as well💛. I definitely need to read the book on emotional eating as that’s the reason I was overweight till I was 20. Constantly learning to understand better my mind and what is happening with it so I think that would be a great addition to my bibliotheque.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with psychedelics! Anything referred to as a ‘drug’ or ‘psychoactive’ substance tends (or has tended in the past) to connote something negative. It’s truly amazing to see people open up and fight the stigma surrounding these topics. I am an Asian American who has struggled with my self image and self love for all of my life! My first trip I finally got to see outside myself, and legitimately see myself as beautiful and really mean it. It’s a lesson I’ve carried for years since then, especially as I have started to create ❤️Thank you again for all the book recs and for saving that one for last!

Yesss. Jenn, I've been following you since clothesencounters day and you sharing your trip and being vulnerable is ground breaking especially as you are an influencer. There's still so much stigma and fear about drugs but like you said if done correctly and in the right space it can be life changing in a beneficial way. I'm so glad you had an awakening experience and the way you words your experience is exactly how I feel when I trip and I always want every human to be able to feel that way at some point in their life. Thank you!!!

I needed a reason to pick one of these up. Thank you for your contestant vulnerability and openness 💕

“You’re heart’s desire” by Sonia Choquette really helped me last year and I’ve re-read it at least three times. It’s not just a book but a workbook that allows you to ask your self what you really want in life. It’s easy to read but filled with wisdom. Cannot recommend enough! It gives me motivation ♥️

Thank you Jenn for giving me the most inspirational reading list for this year! Definitely trying to shake some negative thought patterns and I've heard about so many of these books before but never knew what they were actually about. Gonna be the best me I can be 😇💗✨

Wow. What a great video, I usually fast forward on these all the time but I found myself thoroughly enjoying everything you said. Thank you for this!

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! I'm looking forward to reading a few of these. For me, the book that changed my life was Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. It's a book that talks about how having parents who are emotionally immature can effect our lives growing up, the choices we make as adults and the kinds of relationships we have with others. It was the first book that had me taking notes like you do for your book reports!

Wild by Cheryl Strayed CHANGED MY LIFE!!!! To read about her 3-month journey on the Pacific Crest trail and the shadow work and realizations she had on that trip is so powerful to me. I was reminded of my journeys and the ways that process unfolds- it was so deep, so viceral, I love it.

I HIGHLY recommend All About Love by bell hooks. It’s my favorite book of all time and I think you’d really enjoy it. It’s about the importance of love mostly from a societal point of view and how it’s missing from our communities. It also talks a lot about how love is an action and not a verb, which is something I never considered when it comes to self love.

I would really like to hear more about your trip, Jenn! How you went about finding the right dose, setting intentions, etc! This is groundbreaking research - I recently attended a lecture with Michael Pollan where he shared his studies and talked about the amazing effects psychedelics have had in war veterans with PTSD. Thank you for using your platform!

Thank you for the amazing recommendations and contents you created. ☺️ By the way I would like to recommend Wild swans by Jung Chang, which is one of my favourite books. It’s about the story of three generations of women in the author’s family in China during the 20th century. A tragic tale of nightmarish cruelty and an uplifting story of bravery and survival.

Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. I recently read this book and absolutely loved it. It used myths/folktales/fairytales from around the world to explain the female psyche. Overall, it was an empowering read and helped me appreciate my experiences as a woman and understand my value and the power I shape for myself.

Loving the haircut - you totally rock it! Also love the sweater vest - where did you get it from?

I can't help but to stumble on how you (potentially) opposed being social and introvert. Being introvert and social are not opposites, but many people think they are, which is why they are so confused as to how I can both be introvert _and_ social. Introverts generally socialize in a different way and appreciate deeper connections, which is why they might not connect as well with very extrovert people who charge their batteries by being on and by socializing with many people, even just for brief moments. The difference between being introvert and extrovert does not lie in socializing - it lies in the way people charge their batteries (and with whom). That being said, this video just gave me a few more books to put on my To Read List (which just keeps growing after your book videos hahaha)
