5 Self-Help Books to Change Your Life

Try online therapy here: betterhelp.com/amy - - - - If you're an avid viewer of my channel, I do apologize- many of these books have been already talked about throughout my channel. However, over the years, one of the most commonly asked questions from family, friends, and new viewers- is, "What are some self-help books I can start off with?"
While I think there are so many MORE amazing self-help books to add to this list, I recommend these five first, as these books are easy, digestible, and not overly advanced in concept or theories. :-)
I would ultimately use them as a jumping board into the self-help realm.
Should I do a "5 Self-Help Podcasts to Change Your Life" next? Let me know!

1. The book of awakening.
2. Power of Now.
3. The book of joy
4. How to win friends and influence people
5. The daily .....

[@RostyslavNazarenko]

Fifth is Daily stoic

[@skyluvhr9020]

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR BETTERHELP. It’s a scam. They’re therapists aren’t licensed, and they don’t offer confidentiality. That means you’re not getting the help you need or want, and anything you tell these “therapists” can legally be shared with anyone.
CZcamsrs only promote this site because they get 200$ when someone signs up on their link.
I love Amy Lee, but I am very disappointed that she would sell out to a company that uses mental health to gain profit (and not even help anyone).

[@shufflingfate4703]

My friend used this service and when he told them that he had suicidal thoughts they told him to call the suicide hotline. So disappointing! A real therapist would never turn someone away in their most desperate time of need.

[@Im9gen_]

Shuffling Fate I can’t believe that this is why you need to do your research guys

[@meghanwilcox5453]

Yeah also the first red flag I think is that a real therapist knows the poorest kind of communication is through texting. You can’t accurately get the help you need by texting someone. When I see it advertised on Instagram it comes up as therapists texting you. It’s still like the same price as a regular therapy session anyways, you might as well pay out of pocket and see a real therapist

[@argenisacosta8296]

hi guys, wants to know more about the laws of attraction the greatest results that i've had was by following the Hartlyn Magic Plan (just google it) without a doubt the most useful course i've tried.

[@TheCrusaderRabbits]

If it works, it isn't a scam.

[@isabelaaguilar7394]

Top 5 Podcasts please!! I'm currently on the hunt for philosophical/self help type of podcasts but I'd love to branch out into other topics as well!
I'm also dipping into The Power of Now because you mentioned it, so far I'm enjoying it! Love you 💕

[@michelleamosah5365]

the power of now is amazing

[@52naturalhairstyles]

@Isabela Aguilar check out Louise Hay!

[@daria6624]

Isabela Aguilar Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversations is also a goood one too!

[@theinteriorvista]

I love Kwik Brain!

[@eliannysantilli4722]

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to learn about your own success story try Panlarko Create Success Planner (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got amazing results with it.

[@tohoholictohotronic]

I got so confused because you didn't actually say the name of the fourth book, but I had a feeling it was "How to win friends and influence people" and then i confirmed it in your link in the description box

[@TotallyKayla]

I was confused too lol thank you so much for adding this comment. I just checked her description box too lol

[@bijismythe551]

Yea, I thought I was just too ☁️☁️and missed it 🤣🤣🤣

[@syedmasoodakbarzada2838]

The moment she moved to next preference I already guessed book from Carnegie -

[@FashioNica]

Ahh I'm actually reading 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' at the moment!! I've been taking so many notes in it! LOL!

[@amy_lee]

haha amazing! so simple and easy to read right?

[@andyelliott8027]

How is a book written by somebody else SELF help?.................Think about it, it's actually HELP.

[@snipergamer7223]

Best book I think about human relations

[@ayahyaseen1402]

hi everyone ,if anyone else is searching for how to attract abundance and prosperity try Miracle Recovery Tactics ( miracle.RecoveryTactics.com ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my co-worker got amazing success with it.
@AMY LEE

[@gaviningham]

Great book. My next read after that one was 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People'.

[@topangaah]

Yes! Love these recs, adding them to my Amazon wishlist ☺️ I just started The Power of Now for mindfulness, hoping I can unlearn my bad habit of dwelling on the past/worrying about uncontrollable variables in the future. So far so good ✌🏻

[@DreamerDreamer526]

you’re glowing in this video!!! and this video is so helpful thanks for being so open about your own journey and being willing to help everyone else ❤️❤️❤️

[@GheartsJuicy]

Rewatching this video because it’s been one of those days and for some reason having a “stranger” motivate me is more motivating than my close friends these days... I love the AM with Amy series and all your self-help videos. I’d love for you to do a series on what books you read like monthly for example

[@Chiaaroscuro]

I love seeing how you and your channel has grown and matured over the years 😊 yes to personal growth ❣️❣️

[@09rubizzle]

That’s so cool that you are opening up to us. So refreshing to have a CZcamsr I can relate to!!! Sending you lots of love 😘

[@Christine-fb8so]

This has been on my mind lately! Thank you for making a video on books to read. I’ve been craving a book on self-help, since embarking on a personal development journey. It’s been a matter of setting time for it while in college. Anyways, thank you for sharing this! I’m looking for a therapist right now, and excited for a lot of growth.

[@DebbieOre]

I would love to get these books! Thank you so much for the recommendations, I also appreciate you giving an insight into what each book entails.

[@thisblondefromla]

Just found your videos! I’m so glad I did! Absolutely love to read books like these to try to improve myself! Definitely going to put these books on my list to read! Thank you so much!!

[@miriamgonzalez6128]

Honestly you are such a beautiful woman inside and out. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a week and watch your videos that come up on my feed. I just love what you stand for and how raw you are with your content. I can relate to you in so many way I just want to say thank you ♥️

[@thuyrannosaurus]

Thank you for always sharing your gems and consciously making the genuine attempt to help enlighten and enrich our lives Amy. I truly appreciate you boo ❤️

[@lina_byoui]

I actually started to go to therapy as well last month and it's definitely slowly but surely helping me.
I've also heard so many recommend the Power of Now and i'm super excited to begin reading it!

[@katienan5604]

YESSS!! I literally added the power of now on amazon two days ago since you recommended it in your previous video!! So glad that you posted this 💕

[@12bry12]

Amy please share your podcast recommendations! it'd totally help for some people who can't get themselves to sit and read a book to themselves! thank you so much for this. I've been trying to become so much more aware of my well being and having self care.

[@jordymcneill]

I was binge watching AM with Amy's last night and thought "I hope she does a video on books soon" THATS WILD, YOU INFLUENCED MY WAVELENGTH, ICONIC

[@user-ui5gf5xj8t]

Amy you’re such a wholesome being, love your videos and energy

[@amy_lee]

ah shucks thanks marwa:):)

[@iHeartMehz]

This is such perfect timing, I’ve been getting into self-help books recently. I recommend Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It by Kamal Ravikant. It’s a short read but it’s so good!

[@amy_lee]

oo will check out!

[@berylftlove]

I have never read a self-help book before but I wanted to read one for such a long time!! So thank you sooo much for the recommendations Amy 💖💖 Love you so much 💞💞💞

[@MichelleSanjaya217]

in love with all self-help related vid, thanks luv 💕

[@trology0493]

I like this kinda video. I hope you can talk more about books. Or maybe movie next time.
Thank you Amy!

[@joshuaroger8364]

And Norwegian wood by Haruki Murakami!!!!! I saw it in one of your videos and that book was so amazing

[@caywaii8844]

same I love a good book talk

[@loveletters1231]

This video came at THE right moment, thanks girl ! Love you

[@mollyb9782]

Thank you so much for this, I've been meditating and praying a lot lately and just recently found your channel which is definitely a sign I need to to take some time for self care😊 also.....where did you get that sweater? I love it💗

[@cam.01]

Love this video! Hope you can do more book related videos in the future! Also, 1000000x YES to the 5 podcasts!!! Much love Amy

[@christiedavis4494]

Crazy I was just looking for these types of book recommendations on your channel yesterday! I think I might start with the book of Awakening 🌸

[@peterbits8766]

I love this! Betterhelp is such an incredible platform. Thanks for being a mental health advocate

[@amy_lee]

ah thank you!

[@ddxoxo2]

Thank you so much Amy for the suggestions ‘ self care is self love after all ! Much love from NYC💖 also I would love to hear some of the podcasts you recommend !

[@HighOnGravity]

It's good to know that you found online therapy useful! I've heard of it before but never knew if it would really be as beneficial but maybe some therapy is better than no therapy! (I also find the idea of in-person therapy is super intimidating!) And yaasssss PODCASTS!! I love podcasts as well!! Can't wait to watch the next episode

[@Piquetures]

I've heard so many good things about The Book of Awakening but didn't know much about the format. Hearing you explain it does seem like it's something that's really easy to read right after waking or right before sleeping! Thanks for sharing as always Amy!

[@amy_lee]

yes please check it out! i've recommended to so many!

[@majalives]

Love everything about you! The first book is the only one I haven't read, I ordered it just now. :)

[@gabbycalara]

i love your book recs!! def will read them soon :)

[@mangoxpizza]

OK sorry but I need to make a PA and say that AMY you have been GLOWING AND WORKING IT the past few videos!!! I dont know what you've been doing but keep glowing inside and OUT!!! ✨✨✨✨✨

[@danielab5491]

yayy! I've been waiting for this video from you💕

[@atharvagarud4066]

Last week I ran my first 5k without stopping and all the time I could hear the voice in my head saying that I can do it. Forwago, thank you so much for everything!!

[@sabenak3768]

Awesome as always :) i think u totally should do that 5 self help podcast.

[@amy_lee]

will do! thanks aster!

[@Roserorick]

I started online therapy a couple months ago (not through betterhelp but it's basically the same thing) and I've found that it's really not working for me and idk why :( I've tried but it's like I can't find anything to message my therapist about (even though there are definitely things I could talk about because I'm a depressed mess) and it makes me anxious thinking about like "oh she messaged me, I have to reply, I don't want to think about that right now though..." as well as "oh I haven't said anything in awhile I should be TALKING more because I'm paying money for this" but I end up not using it and it's eating me up thinking about how I'm paying monthly for something I barely use. It's super anxiety inducing and I have no idea why. I just want something to work for once.

[@indiradyaldominguez]

Thanks for sharing this! 💫💯❤️

[@BEASTjuyoungBEAST]

Your hair looks amazing! Could we get a hair styling tutorial soon?

[@cos_17]

Thank you so much for this 😭

[@bryannamarquez5833]

This video helped me so much Amy!

[@mysticjourneybookstorelosa278]

great video Amy, hope this helps many people

[@sl5950]

I just recently bought '
The Power of Yes
Self care Revolution
The Anxiety Journal
Calm
And many more I never used to read until this past 2 weeks and I found it has helped me calm down so much.

[@elleismatic]

Thanks for sharing your recommendations! I also made a video recommending How To Win Friends And Influence People. Also I think a book that’s not talked about enough is “all about love” by bell hooks, which talks about romantic, familial, and spiritual love.

[@ingcomparablei2200]

Thanks for the new inspiration! I would also recommend "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change" - great book if you haven´t read it yet, Amy :)

[@amy_lee]

i couldnt finish it !! D: but I will get back to it asap lol

[@aylenlee7714]

i love this videos because i always end up buying and reading them lol Up to now your recommendations were G R E A T Thanks! Btw the background music puts u in the mood lmao

[@TheLadyLaMiA]

i love this! you hair looks amazing btw

[@thepowerofhelpingwithreube4407]

Really useful! Absolutely love Non Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg! Life changing!

[@STEPHANIEEVUE]

Your hair is perfect!! ❤️

[@JustKhristene]

Mental Health is one of the most important things for individuals🙂

[@JenniferTevi]

I simply love your videos💫 your soul is so beautiful 🙏🏾🌅

[@itsmeGelry]

Amy, it’s like you read my mind!!

[@kms5793]

Eckhart Tolle also has a book called Stillness Speaks. and it is really good. it makes you get deep within your thoughts and made me feel okay and i would turn to it when my anxiety started getting bad. it was actually assigned to me for a philosophy course in college and i loved it so much that i decided to buy it. its relatively short but its powerful.

[@EMPOWA]

loove these! how to win friends is one of my favs

[@suiseeexoxo]

Yes for the podcast !!! 🖤

[@AB-zm5ps]

I’m sorry this is my opinion, but doing distance therapy is just the complete opposite of what it should be like. Therapy is MADE for being face to face, this how the therapist can work the best with its patient... it’s just breaking my heart to see how modernity is destroying everything..

[@mariancounsellor]

Therapy can work via Skype or online especially if it means someone can access a therapist in another city or country. It is preferable to be face-to-face but there are plenty of good therapists including myself who have worked successfully with clients online.

[@AB-zm5ps]

Marian Hanson Counsellor and Coach Yes although I did not say Therapist are bad via online (and by therapist I mean psychologists not just coach). I’m saying therapy is not actually as effective online as it is face to face. Just like I’ve been following my classes online bc of corona well let me tell you it does the job but it’s not as effective and certainly not the same experience 😅😂

[@shanleyjane6058]

It really does depend on the person. I'm studying psychology right now and every one of my textbooks has had a chapter on online and telephone counseling. For people with social anxiety it can be very helpful because they actually don't have to see anyone face to face per se. Some people feel more free to talk about hard topics if they aren't there in person or are doing anonymous online therapy (disinhibition effect). But that's not to say it will work for everyone, in the end you do have to choose what is best for you.

[@naveenswarnkar4180]

Thank you ammy

[@graziela8854]

Hey Amy can you do a more recent version of this video? Ive been looking for self help books to read now that i got a kindle

[@israrafridi7536]

I've just finished the "secret of Socrates" in book how to win friends and influence people!

[@cryingmybest3774]

i also recommend Into the Magic Shop its a simplified step by step book on how to meditate, with a real life story of how meditation changed someone life

[@nc6903]

What's the name of the 4 book?

[@maddibabbi1222]

Definitely do podcasts next!!

[@alexia7802]

You're such an inspiring person

[@DreamChase]

thanks, great collection. I prefer audiobooks over paperback, anyone else?

[@cryingmybest3774]

pls pls do that podcast amy and girl we waitin for your podcast too 🤧😂

[@yvesandtrees5621]

Detach by Peter Sandburg ❤️ love this song

[@naaja8995]

1. The book of awakening
2. The book of Joy
3. The power of now
4. The daily stoic
5.......?

[@Carolinaherrera22]

The subtle art of not giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
LOVE!! 🙌

[@Paulokun7]

What is the name of the 4th book you recommend? I'm assuming it's How to Win Friends and Influence People, but could be wrong. If so, I totally agree with you. I listened to this and was so surprised by how useful and good it is! Def will listen again and again on this one. I recommend a book called The Untethered Soul. Much easier read than the Power of Now and LOVE it! Great book!

[@isnsumetiner5387]

Self help podcasts. Definitely. Do it pls!!!

[@Problemkrabbe]

I want that podcast video! 🤩

[@mdaly4010]

Love The Book of Awakening!!!!

[@Lovekrystalll]

Power of Now is AMAZING!!

[@jellybeans7854]

yasss another video!!!

[@nikitajain3605]

What is the 4th and 5th book name?

[@tianaroy5566]

idk about online therapy because like I think the face to face interaction and having dedicated time really helped me but I guess for those where money is a concern/ they can't get free counselling from their uni (like I do), online counselling might be better than nothing (but I definitely recommend it as a last resort)

[@adrishmandal6597]

yeah, it's a good program, it helped me out a lot

[@mandisakuzwayo7156]

I'm South African and I'm so proud you love Archbishop Desmond Tutu's book, WOW
