Grab a cup of green tea and get ready to absorb like a sponge!
One of the most frequent questions I get asked when I talk of anything philosophical on the channel is ‘what books can you recommend?”, ‘what sources do you use to self-educate?”, and it makes me SO happy that you all want to embark on your own journeys of self-educating! In this video I relay the books that have changed my life, the podcasts worth listening to, and the channels worth watching here on the big Y-T! I am in no way a spiritual or life guru…I’m just passing on the tools that have helped me in becoming a happier and more compassionate person!

Thank you I feel up lifted by just watching this x
The phrase "Fuck Off" is divisive speech which goes against the Buddhist principle of Right Speech.
The Four Agreements and The Fifth Agreement are two must reads!
Hi i just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me. Whenever i see your videos i always feel inspired to change, and do things i really want to do with my life. I would like to recommend a book called Living Loving and Learning by Leo Buscaglia. I found it on a flea market and it has grown very close to my heart. It's one of those books where you feel like you can't stop reading, but at the same time, you drag out on it because you don't want it to end. So i would really like to recommend this book and thank again for the love and inspiration and for just being you.
If you're really interested in philosophy check out the author and scientist Sam Harris.
