Saw this video while distracting myself with youtube instead of focusing on language learning, which I started doing while procrastinating my writing.

Overwhelming. Truth. When I first started working in a bookstore I was astounded by the size of the self-help section. "Shame is a virus that eats you from the inside., ". So well said 💞

I found it so relatable when you said you needed to know WHY something was good for you. I know for me, as someone with autism, I need the wider context around what I'm doing. Thanks for another awesome video, Cinzia!

Absolutely, needed this list of books right now. At 68, I'm just now finding out that I probably have ADHD. The shame book will be my first read. I have always been shamed for being highly intelligent but not achieving success according to family standards.
I appreciate you dear one.

The self help genre books that have helped me the most is How to ADHD by Jessica McCabe and How to Keep House While Drowning by k.c. Davis. Highly recommend them.

Thank you for the recommendations. Being neurodivergent and failing to find self-help books which are applicable to myself has been difficult. I picked up Essentialism after watching one of your previous videos - it is on my to read shelf. I have enjoyed Darren Brown's books before, so I will put in a request at my library to stock it! Stoicism has been the one self-help philosophy that I have clicked with. Watching your videos is like having my thoughts displayed on screen. You do an amazing job!

These all sound excellent! The one on happiness sounded cool, I have limited interest in Greece beyond Grecian plays but I certainly don't deny their huge contributions to philosophy and I am fan of Roman stoicism. I may buy the last one especially, due to my interest in the benefits of meditation. Anecdotally, I know it has tremendous calming effect on me. And it's essentially just paying attention, spending some time noticing our own emotions and thoughts, who wouldn't want to become more aware of their own thoughts, so they can know their mind better and be more accepting both of negative and happy thoughts, rather than suppressing them or pursuing negative thoughts obsessively. All the very best, Cinzia.

"I really should do more yoga" I kept saying for about 4 years. By chance, I am now a receptionist for the local yoga studio and can join lessons as a benefit to working there :D

I read Dr Devon Price's book about Unmasking Autism, and it was amazing. It really helped me realise that I'm autistic (though not officially diagnosed).

*adds all of these books to my TBR*

Also, this might have been slip of the tongue, but neurodiverse VS neurodivergent got a bit mixed up in this video.

Neurodiversity refers to the entire range of how human brains function. Neurodivergent refers to individual people whose brain function diverges from the norm - this includes neurotypes such as ADHD, Autistic, Dyslexic, Tourettes, etc.

Sonny Jane Wise and their book 'We're All Neurodiverse' is a great resource, they are considered a leader in this space.

i'm ND and has chronic conditions, and i really appreciate this!
i had a phase when i consumed a lot of self help content, and though there are lots of smaller great tips, as a whole they tend to not be very realistic for my specific situation.

Dr. Devon Price also wrote Laziness Does Not Exist and Unmasking Autism, which might benefit lots of people here too :)

Can you please upgrade your description of this video with a list of books discussed in your video. It would help us AuDhD people get the books, and check them out, buy a physical copy, e-book, or audiobook would be great. With being people with executive function challenges, it is hard to keep track of the books after 3 or 4 recommendations. I love the video, but honestly, it takes over a year, that rewatching helps with the algorithm and number of views to go up. So please help us with a list. As I have seen other comments.

What a wonderful video, I'm getting into reading self-help books and these look like they would be great. I read Atomic Habits by James Clear and liked how he referenced other self help books and basically compiled all of those books and his personal experiences into it.

I didn't know Dr. Price had published another book - I loved Lazyness does not exist, so just had to get the new one!

I just finished Your Brain on Art (Neuroæsthetics) and am currently enjoying The Dalí Legacy before jumping into The Da Vinci Legacy and Picasso’s War and then Dream Psychology. Not sure this bibliography is constructive for you or your audience. But I am sharing it so At least the algorithm is feed to satiation.

I'm also a big fan of Dr. Devon Price. Their book "Unmasking Autism" was what pushed me to get an autism diagnosis in my late 40s. Thank you for the great recommendations and insights!

Thank you Cinzia, I learned a lot and many issues resonated with me.I have taken your recommendations and bought the books. Take care, and just delete the unhelpful comments. I subbed to the Spotify podcasts althought it won't feel the same (I am a visial learner-Asd late diagnosed) Best
