I love these reading related videos. Honestly I inspire the ones you did, especially the viral "Reading a book a week is changing my life" for getting me back into reading. Thanks!

I always read Little Women by Louisa May Alcott in the winter months! Super cozy and reminds me of the importance of family and friends like you mentioned!

when you say cold... I can just picture Canada, the winter is so depresing and extreme. Nothing like a sunny beautiful day

This is such a wholesome channel, with a wholesome following. I’m glad that I have found this place, I feel safe here.

It is good to listen to the thoughts of different people and compare it with our thinking and thus to create a new thought.

Thanks John Fish.

Harry Potter fit the bill for me. Whenever a new one came out I'd get it the Christmas immediately after its release and devour it, so those books were my winter reads as a kid.

Just committed to a D1 cross country program in the North East, definitely gonna check out Once A Runner! Great Video John!!

How to Change Your Mind is a great book, I've been listing to it on audible while riding my bike to help pass the time.

Interesting story: I have an execuitive function disorder that has resulted in a life-long learning disability. I also have aphantasia and no internal monologue. Medication cannot fix this (I've tried many times for many years), but by complete chance I discovered microdosing back in 2012. I reversed a learning disability, I'm able to access a part of my brain that's responsible for learning and understanding for the first time in my life, I can access my inner monologue, which strangely enough was always there but inaccessible, it just picked up like it was never missing. I've also reversed the aphantasia a few times. I took a short microdosing journey and it was a very, very profound experience, and it's a trip listening to Pollan's book because he talks about things my internal monologue actually taught me. Being able to learn, think deeply and process information is something we should never take for granted. I think there are many out there who are disconnected and not truly experiencing life on a deep and meaningful level.

Great recommendation!

Here in Brazil the summer is coming so I'll be reading "Dune" hahahaha
But I love your winter list, definitely "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" has this nostalgic and winter feel for me as well, I love it.

I love A Little Life. It was nearly a spiritual experience for me. It cast a spell on me while reading it, I was sad for nearly a week until I finally finished it. I'm careful to whom I recommend it to because I don't know a lot of people who can read these things and not be affected very negatively. But for me it will forever be my favorite book of all time, no other book or movie has made me feel the way it did.

Winter is a such a readable time! Love your prospective, and your winter hot take.

When you started describing at 4:19 - 4:51, it made me teary-eyed. Thank you for the reminder that though Winter can feel like a quiet death all around you, it is a time to nestle in close to those who warm your soul.
