    Books are the best containers for information and they've changed my mindset for the better. I compiled all my favorite self development books into one video and separated them into 4 categories: Productivity, Socializing, Confidence, and Awakening. I also provided time stamps so you can flick to whatever book that tickles your fancy~ Which one would you wanna read?

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience with psychedelics! Anything referred to as a ‘drug’ or ‘psychoactive’ substance tends (or has tended in the past) to connote something negative. It’s truly amazing to see people open up and fight the stigma surrounding these topics. I am an Asian American who has struggled with my self image and self love for all of my life! My first trip I finally got to see outside myself, and legitimately see myself as beautiful and really mean it. It’s a lesson I’ve carried for years since then, especially as I have started to create ❤️Thank you again for all the book recs and for saving that one for last!

    I HIGHLY recommend All About Love by bell hooks. It’s my favorite book of all time and I think you’d really enjoy it. It’s about the importance of love mostly from a societal point of view and how it’s missing from our communities. It also talks a lot about how love is an action and not a verb, which is something I never considered when it comes to self love.

    Thank you for the amazing recommendations and contents you created. ☺️
    By the way I would like to recommend Wild swans by Jung Chang, which is one of my favourite books. It’s about the story of three generations of women in the author’s family in China during the 20th century. A tragic tale of nightmarish cruelty and an uplifting story of bravery and survival.

    Yesss. Jenn, I've been following you since clothesencounters day and you sharing your trip and being vulnerable is ground breaking especially as you are an influencer. There's still so much stigma and fear about drugs but like you said if done correctly and in the right space it can be life changing in a beneficial way. I'm so glad you had an awakening experience and the way you words your experience is exactly how I feel when I trip and I always want every human to be able to feel that way at some point in their life. Thank you!!!

    I would really like to hear more about your trip, Jenn! How you went about finding the right dose, setting intentions, etc! This is groundbreaking research - I recently attended a lecture with Michael Pollan where he shared his studies and talked about the amazing effects psychedelics have had in war veterans with PTSD. Thank you for using your platform!

    I would recommend The Power of Meaning: Finding Fulfillment in a World Obsessed with Happiness by Emily Smith. She discusses how to reach a state of mind centered around content rather happiness since it waxes and wanes throughout life. It helped me transform my perspective how to approach obstacles and "bad" events in my life.

    I love this format how you give an overview of what the book is about and relate your personal struggles. I have a few physical books of the ones you recommended but I am adding the remaining recs to my kindle right now! Also, i love that you share your experience with psychedelics and the way you describe it, tsunami of love, it sounds so amazing and really opens up my view with psychotherapy.

    Thanks for sharing your experience with your trip! I know it can be scary to share a private moment like this to the public. One of my professors at my pharmacy school is doing research at the SF VA hospital on microdosing ecstasy in patients with PTSD to help with therapy sessions and the results have been promising!

    3 necessary skills for personal development:
    1. GROWTH mindset - get away from the "fixed mindset" where you are afraid of getting out of your comfort zone.
    2. STAY CALM - learn how to de-stress yourself and de-escalate a tense situation
    3. RESILIENCE - learn to bounce right back: learn from your mistake and try again.

    I can't help but to stumble on how you (potentially) opposed being social and introvert. Being introvert and social are not opposites, but many people think they are, which is why they are so confused as to how I can both be introvert _and_ social. Introverts generally socialize in a different way and appreciate deeper connections, which is why they might not connect as well with very extrovert people who charge their batteries by being on and by socializing with many people, even just for brief moments. The difference between being introvert and extrovert does not lie in socializing - it lies in the way people charge their batteries (and with whom). That being said, this video just gave me a few more books to put on my To Read List (which just keeps growing after your book videos hahaha)

    • @Wra8h
      @Wra8h Před 3 lety +1

      Yes!! I personally just can't spend long periods of time with people and little time with myself while most people I know find it the norm to want to be around people all the time. I crave connections and I love being social in my own way on my own terms.
