    INFJ and Russian here! For any INFJ, I do recommend reading classic Russian literature of 18th, 19th, and early 20th century! There are so many deep philosophical and psychological topics explored there. I don't know what was in the air during that time, but my god, literally the best books were written then. Gogol is an all time favourite. Highly recommend!

    • @sandramiksaauthor
      @sandramiksaauthor  Před 4 měsíci +2

      I so agree! I took a Russian Literature class in my university days and that's when I fell in love with Russian lit. I want to learn Russian at some point in my life to be able to read books in their original Russian! "Dead Souls" by Gogol was such a great psychological/philosophical book too. I'm not too sure but I think I remember him passing before finishing his trilogy? Also, thank you for sharing. 😊

      @@sandramiksaauthor That's so cool! Russian is ridiculously hard, not to mention these books are also written in old Russian, so it's like reading Jane Eyre. Super interesting but hard!
      Gogol did pass away when writing 'Dead Souls'. Before his death, he burned the manuscript for his second book, so we don't know what was in it. I'm so curious. His death is also veiled in mystery, even that can be a book on itself.
      You're absolute welcome! Like you've said, INFJs are literally instant besties for life!
      I've read all the other books you've mention, (Dostaevsky is GOD), except for 'Quiet'. Added to my shopping cart, thanks for an awesome suggestion!
      Happy reading!

    I recommend that INFJs read "The Razor's Edge" by Somerset Maugham. The main character is a guy from the midwest who rejected ordinary life back home after going through life changing experiences in World War I. He decided to stay in Paris while sorting out his experiences, and while quietly helping people to deal with their own challenges in life.

    Another INFJ here. I loved Jane Eyre! I just read it this year for the first time too, and I can’t believe it took me so long. It was so relatable and wonderful in every way. A book I would recommend to any INFJ is Babel by R.F. Kuang. Her exploration of language is outstanding and scratches our academic deep-dive itch, and the main characters are mostly outsiders in one way or another. It’s fantastic.

Crime and Punishment was one that really made me think. Others I haven’t been able to forget after many years: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Because of Romek, The Once and Future King, Laura Ingalls Wilder series, The Wise Heart. I love books that let you immerse yourself in the time and culture through the characters.

    I was obsessed with Dostoevsky in high school and read anything by him I could get my hands on! And if you love Jane Eyre, try Wild Beautiful & Free by Sophfronia Scott - it's a retelling of Jane Eyre set in the American Civil War, and I absolutely loved it, definitely cried at the end. I actually found the plot a little more satisfying than Jane Eyre, personally. Another favorite is Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie - I've probably read that 20 times.

    Hi I loved your video. Thanks 😊 I took the Myers Briggs test over 20 years ago and since then have pondered being an INFJ. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I just want to fit in better. By the way Jane Eyre is one of my all time favorite books. I own at least three copies. I have read divergent. I own the book Quiet and just recently pulled it off the book shelf to start reading. Curiously my husband bought both The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment but he has never read them. After watching your video I swiped both of them. I had not heard of Into the Wild but now I am very interested.
    Best wishes for your CZcams channels (one is all I can manage)

    I love all of these! Thank you, Sandra, you were so on point about everything when it comes to what makes up who we are as INFJs. I also love seeing the stacks of books behind you. My last house had a small room that I turned into a library. It was all bookshelves, a wing back chair and ottoman, a table to have my reading lamp and put a beverage on. The only other thing I had was a radio in the room. The rest was books. I told people it was my favorite room because I could sit in that space and feel like I was surrounded by my friends that shared their lives with me.

    Interesting. As an INFJ Sigma male, I've always thought that if I didn't have to deal with my hearing defect where the only way I can process anything I read is to use my inner voice (how I learned to speak during speech therapy). If reading this way didn't take so much effort I might be a bigger reader. I do, however, will watch a lot of movies, TV shows, and documentaries as an alternative - less effective, but it how I learned to "listen". It is very rare to find a well written text that is easy to read.

    Now, I have never seen anything of your channel, but as soon as you began speaking about INFJ books (I too am an INFJ) I thought of Alyosha Karamazov. I've never related to a book character more, it was almost scary. So when you mentioned that in addition to Crime and Punishment (another one of my favorites) you recommend The Brothers Karamazov, I trusted you immediately. As you went on, I realized I have all of the books on your list. The only one I haven't actually read is Quiet, but I do own it. If you liked Jane Eyre, I would recommend Middlemarch by George Eliot. I'm in the middle of reading it but I think Dorothea might be a good candidate for an INFJ character. Another good one is The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov if you like Russian literature -- I just wrote my thesis on it and it has major INFJ vibes.

    I am an older INFJ. Greetings soul sister! Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius, Gnostic sayings in (Thomas) insanely connected to advocates not into power for self-interest, but for greater good. As Marcus Aurelius refers to integrity as saying what is true and doing what is right, paraphrasing him. I have found that although integrity is often inconvenient and offers a more work on the road of life, it certainly rewards one with a sweet, peace and relatively regret-free life. I am profoundly fortunate to be an INFJ.

    Being an INFJ I felt compelled to have a look/listen and as soon as you mentioned Fyodor Dostoevsky and ‘The Brothers Karamazov’ I knew why! This book was given to me as a gift years ago and has been sitting on my bookshelf ever since. I went downstairs and took it off my bookshelf and started reading. Just a few pages in and I know I’m going to love it. Thanks for sharing.

    As an INFJ, I was dyslexic until I finished school, and the day I graduated I started reading like crazy all the books I like.

    Thank you so much for this, it feels so accurate! Jane Eyre is my favorite book, Quiet was an epiphany, I love Divergent and I recently read 'Notes from underground' by Dostoyevsky and was so suprised at how much of an 'intuitive' mind he displays and also at how funny I thought it (I always thought Dostoyevsky was very depressing). I would like to recommend 'Rebecca' by Daphne du Maurier and the non-fiction book 'Learned optimism' by Martin Seligman. Those to me also feel quite INFJ :) And I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on Wuthering Height, because I was recommended that one but it felt a bit more INFP-ish to me, I personally liked Agnes Grey by Anne Brönte a bit more :)

      Similar in a way, not exactly that much in plot (I mean, not much point of reading a replica), but in atmosphere and sense of mystery and uncertainty of leading character, kind of keep you guessing a bit.

    • @TheHopelessGuardian
      @TheHopelessGuardian Před dnem

      It's been many years since I've read Jane Eyre so I cannot provide an input on her type, however I wanted to point out that it's highly unlikely for INFPs and INFJs to be mistyped as the other. Maybe if you're typing them via Big 5 (dichotomy, that online personality quizzes use), then yes, commonly mistyped due to their faulty system of incorrectly using Jung's design. However, via cognitive functions, they do not share any functions and are actually the complete opposite.
      The Internet is heavily dominated by people who do not study cognitive functions, so please be careful what you read out there. Because of sites like 16personalities, people are prancing around with incorrect "labels" and a misguided understanding of MBTI.

    I don't know if there's something INFJ about it, haven't given it enough thought, but just wanted to mention "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow", by Gabrielle Zevin. Not a book I thought would appeal to me at first, after the first few pages I was thinking why am I reading this (felt the exact same way the second time I read it too!), but such a wonderful story. I can't find the words to express how deeply I love this book.

    To Kill A Mockingbird is very INFJ as Atticus is an INFJ. I also love A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, the main character is INFJ and one of the other characters is an ENFJ, but I don't recommend this book lightly, it can be very triggering so make sure you read about that before diving into the book. It's wonderful and it's my favourite ever.
    I have tried the Brothers Karamazov before and it put me to sleep, I don't think I can read Russian literature for some reason...too depressing even for me as an INFJ lol.
