I did consider continuing on last year’s theme (22 books for 2022, 23 books for 2023), but thought that would very quickly bcome unsustainable, so we’ve gone down to 13 for this year. It’s been hard to narrow down the books, and not to get carried away and talk about each for half an hour, but here’s a whistle-stop tour of the books that have been the most lifechanging for me this year. They’ve honestly given me amazing frameworks that have made seeing life a lot more interesting, easier, more productive and healthy.
PS. Please forgive the super-cringe inclusion of my book in the list given the title of the video. I only titled it after it was filmed and given I think 12/13 of these books are actually underrated and life-changing, I took the emotional hit titling it this. Soz

Oh baby dont cry

& be strong always
oh you lovely creative skillful smart girl
whom got a sweet kind white heart
please put your magical smile
on your cute lovely beautiful radiant baby face
& Remember that as long as you are with God no matter how difficult things become God will always be by your side
just be with him and do your part working on what you want and trying to solve the problems you are facing in a wise way and dont give up
or just be satisfied with what happened to you and with what remained from wealth and health and loved ones
while you are working for whats better, and trying to decrease all types of loss
& be grateful to God and dont ever be sad
oh baby dont cry
cry if you want only a little
dont cry for a long time
cry only over sins and short comings and over the loss of good moral values if you ever wanted to cry
and cry for what happen to others out of mercy and love
and cry in love for the most good and pure and kind chivalry humans whom God loves and loves those who love them too
but dont cry over a situation which you can improve
and dont cry over losing anything for you can gain the same or even more and better again
and dont cry over someone whom left you for you may find a better person even if it was me who left you my dear
and dont cry for losing a bad person and not even a good person you love
for the bad person is not worth your tears and the good person is in heaven so cry only a little and be happy for he/she now us happy smiles and cheers
slight error in timestamps in description instead at 19:52 is the book rabbit hole which you have written 10:39 a d then decent life should be 21:33 cheers
@@_yuri EEEK thank you so much for that, just changed them!
You are very polite
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for all your content, it has helped me a lot. I wanted to ask you if it is possible to get your book as a standalone item instead of having to purchase the bundle. It might help other people as well in terms of cost effectiveness. Thank you.

Great inspo thank you for your recommendations , for me I believe reading is not just enough". Take the action! Put your newfound knowledge to use. I read for a long time but Action made my life change in no time ( generally and mostly financially)
That's my two cents on this
1 agree with 100%
Action makes it work, no matter how little start and see the results come by
I struggle to follow through, especially financially. I earn quite enough but hardly have a saving. Rent, bills, debt, expenses take it all away. It almost feels like I leave paycheck to paycheck
Live below your means, Adjust your lifestyle, be frugal in spending don't buy unnecessary stuff, Budget your spending and your debts, Save, Invest it's a better way to grow wealth, get a financial expert to help you.
Thanks
1 hear hiring a financial coach is quite expensive but I will have a look at it.
Elizabeth, I just discovered your channel and have been binging all the videos. I relate to you so hard... I am a doctor (just finished training) who heavily questioned quitting medicine and went into pathology instead, but now trying to get back in touch with my artistic, creative, math-loving, book-loving side! And definitely share your 'chaotic,' lazy study style. Your videos are so inspiring for me. Good for you for figuring yourself out BEFORE going through all of med school and for making room to discover yourself!
I was open minded but wary of "woo" when it came to The Untethered Soul and decided to take it out from the library at your behest a few videos ago and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. I followed it up with The Body Keeps the Score and I'm finding tremendous motivation to develop a regular practice to connect with my body, process my feelings, and integrate the experiences of both. Book recommendations are vulnerable and so I sincerely appreciate your willingness to share books that have had a significant and positive impact so we can all benefit.
Sci-fi is one of my fave genres. It gets me. That "creator-created" part was phenomenal editing. What a tongue-twister of a surname 😅This is a great, insightful reading list. 2023 is going to be an intellectually-stimulating year for me with these books. Thanks, Liz!
The passion that came with some of these reviews cannot be faked! I'll definitely be picking up a few on this list. Thanks Elizabeth!
The first book you mention is "The Untethered Soul"... this was the first book that sent me down the absolute rabbit hole. I knew I could be exactly who I wanted to be with that book in my hand. I'm so glad someone with as large a platform as yours recommends it! I always like your videos within the first minute. 😭 Thank you so much for all you do!
I love the recommendations! Hopefully more people can start reading books. A lot of them have such amazing insights and value to obtain!
Thank you for these recs!! you've quickly become my go to "productivity and human insight" person on CZcams. Just made a page in my Notion second brain with this list and added your main touching points on each. Always knew I should start a personal info base, but your insight was the push that I needed to get that going. Life-changing content here!
Hi Elizabeth, Out of all the recommended books I have only read The Untethered Soul when I was in the really low phase of my life and I must say that this book was doing the work of a therapist and learned how we are different from our thoughts. I will try other recommended books ❤️
The way you describe the way the author of "Love" puts some of our unknown or indescribable emotions into words really resonates with me. It is how I have determined some my favorite books. For me, Emily Bronte did this the most in "Wuthering Heights". I am looking forward to reading "Love" and all of the books on your list. You perform a great service to your viewers . Thank you.
You've officially changed my life for the better. I got a library card and started reading the books you suggest. Project Hail Mary was SOOOOO beautiful. I learned a lot of cool science stuff and there was a lot of philosophy/human-nature stuff to ponder too, as you said. I even learned about myself from how I thought things would turn out. I can't thank you enough for inspiring me to reignite my love for reading!
Love the editing in this one, so stylish and unique! And great recommendations, I'm adding some to the list.
My current favorite books are The Brothers Karamazov and Anna Karenina. A lot of people seem to think that the russian classics are heavy and difficult, but there is so much to ponder about the human condition in them, and much to enjoy.
Having watched your last book recommendation videos I was predetermined not to add more than 5 books to my TBR, but guess what? 13 new additions are sitting in my endless pile right now.
Thank you so much, because of you I'm more welcoming towards non fiction.
Loved how you described the sci-fi genre during the Project Hail Mary bit. It's a genre that is easily misunderstood but explores humanity so well.
I love the way you edit your videos and all the small animations! It keeps me interested and attentive while listening to you!
Thank you Elizabeth for recommending these interesting books. I look forward to exploring them ☺️ xx
You are my favorite channel in the world. I literally looked up your channel to see if you had posted a favorites book video. I found a couple but I was not satisfied. I admire how intelligent and well spoken you are. I could listen to you forever. Thank you.
Your channel has given me inspiration to keep learning and keep growing. Thank you for the work you do!
The review is well-organized and I can feel the excitement of the speaker so that you can connect and let the audience understand the contents and how we can incorporate the information to ourselves. I watched many videos that were well-scripted and uninteresting but yours, it is authentic and a true listener can easily know that you truly understand your content without making everything simple or flat.
Thank you!!! I certainly vibe with your taste in books. Definitely will add these to my "books to read" list.
Please make a whole video of you talking about your book! I want to hear what it's about and how your process was when writing it and everything! I love listening to authors talking about their own work
Thanks for these suggestions! I was searching for a book to read, and the list you shared has some great recommendations!
Omg! I have that same copy for "The Vindication of the rights of women"! I would highly recommend that particular edition because the first part of the book is about the life of the author and the context in which she was situated, which explains the relevance of her work. Additionally, the text notes at the back are essential for some terminology and cultural references that are very specific to Mary Wollstonecraft's time period.
Thank you for your book lists! I'm a huge book nerd and I was getting through my old book list. I've been able to expand my book list thanks to you! What's funny is I'm a huge extrovert and I love your book lists.
I really love your all videos. You always boost my energy and confidence. Thank you for everything 🤗🤗
Thank you so much for the recommendations Elizabeth! I’ve added them to my list =) One of my favourite books is The Solitaire Mystery by Jostein Gaarder. I’ve read when I was 16 and loved and I’ve been reading it since then (for the last 20 years, hahaha). Every time I read it it feels different.
Thank you for those recommendations.😊 I’ll definitely add some of them to my tbr list. If you haven’t already read it, I would highly recommend the short story “They're Made Out of Meat” by Terry Bisson. It leans into the philosophical side of sci-fi but it can also be interpreted on different levels. I read it with my students in class (I teach English as a second language) and it was amazing to see their different ideas and interpretations. Considering the books and papers you read, it’s probably too easy for you, but I think it could still be entertaining.
I LOVE Project Hail Mary. I picked it up a while back because I adore The Martian. I love the problem solving, the sarcastic sense humor and the beautiful depiction of loving your neighbor. Delighted my 18 yr old Harry Potter fanatic daughter now considers Project Hail Mary her favorite book.
I've found these videos and maybe you've mentioned him before, but I really was happy to see John O'Donohue pop up in this discussion. I appreciate your work in relaying info about being, productivity, psychology, which you make look a lot easier than it is!
Thank you Elizabeth for your enthusiasm and insight I am so excited to read your book!
Hello. 2022 has been for me a year that I've changed a lot as a person in a good way. Among other things, I've started to read 20 books so far this year, which is way more than how much I usually read. My favourite book is Courage to be disliked, and I've seen your summary on your website while watching your video. I haven't read your whole summary, but I plan to do this very soon to compare your reflections with mine about this book.
After binging several of your videos, mostly your recommended reading, but some others...you're amazing! The insight you have as a 20-something maybe almost 30-something from your learning in your twenties is astounding. I just turned 50 this year and I'm still working through attachment and anxiety, figuring out how to live with a narcissist mother across the street who depends on me for most things. Your insight and ideas are spot on. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning from you and not feeling so alone with my thoughts. Any tips for caregiving for a narcissist overbearing mother that you wish you could just disown, but feel that obligation to care for?
Thank you! Very inspiring book overviews! Book reviews - are probably the best part of the CZcams content.
Thank you for the amazing recommendations! I wanna add to your list:
1. Know My Name - Chanel Miller
2. Platonic - Marisa G Franco
3. Everything by Michael Pollan
4. Women in the Picture - Catherine McCormack
I loved this video! I started the untethered soul after watching this. Loving it so far, so thank you. I love your content and channel...A well needed space on youtube, thank you💛
Wait… I really want tell you that how grateful I’m that I got to discover this channel and a person like you exists. I’m one of those indecisive one who doesn’t know what she gonna do in future as a profession, I find myself being ok with literally everything. Last night this video was recommended on my CZcams feed and very first video was about the worst advices and that’s exactly what I wanted to hear that point I think the things that you’ve explained was quite realistic and that literally solved half of my life problems. And after that I watched so many videos of yours specifically the medic one and ya I love all them. ❤
Edit :- Dude !! This is crazy I didn’t know that I wrote the whole paragraph ….ahhhh…totally unexpected I think it’s the first time when I’m expressing so much emotion in a comment section. And btw Take a good care. Bye ❤
Absolutely loved Project Hail Mary. The audio book on Audible is just brilliant too! Worth listening to that even after you’ve read the book… I think it’s my favourite of Andy Weir’s books
Hello Elizabeth! Thank you for this overview. I decided to read again (adter neglecting it for years) thanks to your videos and how passionate you are about it. I’m sure that following you has had a great impact in my life, so thank you from the botton of my heart.
Now, I want to recommend a trilogy I read years ago, and the thought of it still amazes me: These Dark Materials. It’s quite known, and now there’s a series about it too, but in the case you haven’t read it, I’ll just say I found it overwelmingly good and deep. It explores on so many cardinal aspects and issues of our world, while showing new magical universes. With this I wish you a great end of 2022. Take care
Adding to my list!
Another recommendation from me: *Colette Dowling, The Cinderella Syndrome-Women's hidden fear of independence*
This one is especially for women who come from more conservative communities, most importantly for women who suffer imposter syndrome or sudden loss of ambition and motivation. Really, it can be read by anyone, but for women in this situation can just get so much out of it!
I love your suggestions! I’ve heard of a few of these but not all. Definitely picking them up ❤
Same 👍👍
Hello again Khalilah
Fantastic video! I have FOUR new books on my TBR. _The Untethered Soul_ is the first book on my TBR. At a glance, this seems like a spiritual approach to many of the concepts outlined in ACT therapy. I am working my way through _A Liberated Mind_ by Stephen C. Hayes at the moment, and it is a book that has changed me. I am taking a lot of notes and doing all of the exercises in the book.
_A Decent Life_ is also on my TBR. I can't wait to dig in. As of right now, my approach is to emphasize virtue-based ethics (aretaic) at the personal level and to emphasize utilitarian ethics at the social/structural level. When I hit upon this rough formula, something strange happened: I found that the utilitarian approach is far from being cold and unemotional. In terms of an individual's relationship to society, utilitarianism can be quite warm and inspiring. The pivot point is the realization that in practical terms, any "marginal" improvement you make to limiting harm or promoting happiness/pleasure/welfare is better than the status quo.
Once again, thank you for a wonderful video and channel!
My three favourite books:
1. Robert Anson Heinlen: To Sail Beyond Sunset - the very last and very best Heinlein's book. Everything comes together. I simply love Maureen 😍
2. Terry Pratchett: Thief of Time - best book about time I've ever read. Also Susan is my role-model 😉
3. Neil Gaiman: American Gods - it is hard to describe what this book is about. Maybe about searching for one's soul but make it crazy and colorful ✨
I loved this video! My favourite fiction book of this year was Babel by R.F Kuang, and my favourite non-fiction was Love Stories by Trent Dalton. Also, two of my favourite books that I re-read this year were Know My Name by Chanel Miller and Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke. As for sci-fi/fantasy books, I wholeheartedly recommend the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee and Anathem by Neal Stephenson
Thank You Liz! I have my list to my next visit at Barnes & Noble XD and today I finally got: Organized Chaos! happy to finally read & listen your material, hope the first of many and maybe latter a physical version for that signing (yes I still with physicals XD). Please keep doing this, its a great way to me to spend time at work & running with your material. Now playing: audio version Organized Chaos.
Hi Elizabeth, great as always and fantastic to see the channel growing so well 👍 Just a quick comment to say your chapter spacing seems to have shifted - might be worth just updating the timings. All the best Jon Gadget 😊
i love looking at you and your passion, listening to your voice and the quality of your videos!
thank you! keep it up!
Thank you! I also absolutely love to read books, especially when they provide meaning and value to my life.
Here is my list of 3 incredible books I would recommend in 2023 to everyone who is really into finding their way in life.
1. Wisdom from the Greater Community, Book 1 & 2
2. Steps to Knowledge: The Book of Inner Knowing
3. Life in the Universe
All these are by the same author - Marshall Vian Summers. And the most incredible thing is that they are all available totally free online! Enjoy your reading!
Couldn’t agree more ❤
Thank you
Love this and am now going through comments for recs too! I’d highly recommend “The Gospel of Wellness”, especially to women who are majorly targeted with advertising from wellness industry. It’s been so validating of my experience and hesitations of wellness industry and culture, and so eye opening.
Also “ the body keeps the score” is a must read always
I really liked this list and your descriptions. I added some of these to my list and plan to get them. Now all there is left is to read them
As for a book recommendation, I always find intertextual connections following the points Betty Edwards makes in Drawing on the Artist Within. She gets into the 5 questions for Saturation. Questions so [creatively constructively] disruptive that she reworked them into the 4th Edition of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
I loooove when you do videos like this !!! (instead of productivity ones 😅) great quality content, love the recommendations :))
Hi Elizabeth!
I'm from Brazil and I have to say that I absolutely love your recomendations and your youtube content ❤
From what I can see I'm sure you're going to fall in love with the book Flowers for Algernon (Daniel Keyes) I don't know if you already know or somebody already indicate it for you, but this is one of the MUST READ!
I wish you all the best and thanks again for your inspiring videos!
Also, love the edits in this video, especially the way those quotations are placed along with the authors picture!
I loved PHM so much I couldn't start another book for a little while after, I felt a weird kind of grief that it was over. For those that haven't read Project Hail Mary, I strongly recommend you listen to it on audible you'll see why. Artemis, also by Andy Weir, is great follow up. It's narrated by Rosario Dawson who's perfect to picture as the protagonist.
Attachment in Psychotherapy! So happy to see this here. I loved this book this past year.
Miss.Elizebeth,
Your videos are excellent as days go by. From day one, whenever I see you talking in your videos, I feel as though I am seeing my daughter talking.
Wish you all success in future.
As a doctor, my request to you is not to discontinue medicine please.
Fantastic suggestions Elizabeth! I’ve read several of these and completely agree. For a fictional read, I believe you would really love East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I read it as a teen initially and continued to reread it over the last two decades. It’s such a wonderful study of morality.
....made it to the end-I'm definitely a nerd and feel seen ✨️ I think this broke a record for me with how many I'm putting on my list. Thank you so much for the wonderful recommendations 💕
Thank you for sharing, great selection! 🎉
A book recommendation for 2023 (or earlier ;) ) from me would be: Chris Palmer MD, Brain Energy. In this book Chris Palmer, a Harvard psychiatrist, describes a unified theory of mental illnesses. The hypothesis is: Mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain.
It's the research topic that could be excited the most in the last years. There is a 3h podcast episode in the Huberman lab with Chris Palmer.
Love your insights on these!
It's so nice to see you
You always inspire me to study 📖
My favorite Sci-Fi is the Ender's Game series, especially as it continues Ender's life and humanity's interaction with aliens. It gets very philosophical toward the end. I've read each book at least 3 times. If you're into audiobooks, they are narrated very, very well.
Wow sounds deep thanks
Speaker For the Dead is in my top 5 favorites!
The Ender's shadow series is also really good. The first book is the same story as Ender's Game but through another characters perspective and then the rest of the series is how that character goes back to Earth and makes changes there while Ender does his thing in space.
Orson Scott Card wasn't (in my opinion) a very good man, but I still love his work, I believe he's dead now but I still bought my books thrifted, which is what I tend to do when I want to have books by authors I don't want to support financially 😅 Death of the author and all that
There's a series of books by Leonard Susskind called The Theoretical Minimum. They're not quite in the pop-science genre nor are they textbooks, but they are excellent at breaking down the mathematics which describe various theories. They're also quite a short read, roughly 200 to 300 A5 pages. Would recommend them to anyone studying physics either as a hobby or at university.
Just started watching your videos a few days ago and I find them rather unique. Realistic and heartfelt. I think a good topic for a video would be the difference between information and knowledge. How to prevent information overload. Young people always confuse the two.
How bizarre is it that I had just started reading “The Untethered Soul” yesterday?! It was a recommendation on a podcast I listen to and now hearing someone as read as yourself recommending it I know this book was meant to be my next choice - thank you for the other recommendations as I have just started a book club with my family, this will be very helpful xx
You're such an inspiration. Thank you.
Thank you, Elizabeth 🙏
This is such a cool video! I loved the concept, the enthusiasm and that these books all sounded very intriguing, probably because we are very similar people. If I do end up reading one or more of these in 2023, I will let you know here (if I remember).
❤ Thank you for sharing. Now that it is the holiday season, books make the best presents. Will look into some of your suggestions for gift ideas. ❤
I love the way you talk about productivity and work! It makes me feel so seen. Habits have never made sense for me. I have similar strategies for working on school/work projects but I really struggle with consistent exercise, cleaning my apartment, taking meds & those kinds of habits. How do you keep up with those areas of life in a way that works with your brain ?
As someone who never read much after school, I've been trying to get back into it and discover what types of books I'm drawn to and what I can get from them. I happened to find the book, Stoner by John Edward Williams and absolutely loved it. It's a novel that follows the relatively life of the fictional character William Stoner, but the beautiful writing does such a great job conveying the emotions and intensity of the events in his life that would otherwise just seem "normal" to another person. I could hardly put it down, highly recommend.
Great video, I went and bought 4 out of the 13 while watching the video. I love your summaries :)
The video I needed, thank you! I keep starting books that disappoint me. These look like the kind of books that I'll always come back to.
Hello! First of all, very good video. I'm not a long time follower, but I thought you brought a more realistic approach to productivity. At least something I can somewhat relate to and not feel bad for not being a perfect human.
I wanted to comment here because a lot of times, content creators bringing their personal choice for books has been the main point for me to stop following them. I think your favourite books chow who you truly are. For the first time I really have connected with your choices and I am very grateful for having you on this platform.
I hope you have a nice day, and keep the good work. Thanks
Thank you!
I LOVE that you started off the video with Untethered Soul - it really is one of the most powerful agents for awakening and transformation.
Hi Elizabeth, just watched your video and I only read the first book you recommended "The Untethered Soul" which I really loved at so many levels. I might read a couple of your recommended books that resonated with me. Thanks again for this useful video. I am searching for a book that will help complete the picture of the logic of everything, I believe there is a common logic that governs all and I have seen glimpses of it across all my readings. Do you have a book recommendation that can complete the picture? Love you
Book recommendation: Wild, a journey from lost to found - especially if you're into hiking/mountaneering. Absolutely loved it, helped me through some tough times.
Great recommendations! That quote from "Love" was incredible. Since you seem to be into popular physics books, I'd like to recommend Existential Physics by Sabine Hossenfelder and Primacy of Doubt by the English physicist by Tim Palmer. In Primacy of Doubt, Palmer gives a sweeping account of uncertainty in many different areas of science, ranging from Climate to Quantum Physics. It's one of the most insightful pop physics books I've read.
Put it on my holds list !
Hi Elizabeth!! I really can’t express how much I love your content, it is so well crafted and curated and the information you provide is mind blowing! Thanks for sharing! I wanted to ask you where did you learn to edit your videos so well? I would like to do that as well! Is there any course you would recommend to get my hands to it? Also, do you have a camera recommendation? Thank you!!! ❤
I can't wait to read these. Our brains work very similarly, so I know I'll love them.
Thank you so much!!
Can we appreciate the number of Office references and how beautifully they're drawn!
I think Elizabeth's advice is absolutely beautiful (:
Ooh sounds like some amazing books! I will add some of these to my TBR!
Thank you for your advice ❤
My favorite book is definitely Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl. But I really wanna check out your recommendations. Specially Attachment in Psychotherapy. Thank you. ^^
Thanks so much Lizi! 🥰 it was so inspirational, I will definitely pick up some of the books you mentioned!
My favorite fictional books are „The song of Achilles“ and the series „The mirror visitor“ 😊 As for a non-fictional book, I really liked „This book will make you kinder“ :)
Thanks for this ❤
Thanks for this video and sharing your thoughts and experiences. I recommending reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It is a controversial book for many and people have mixed views but I absolutely love it. It change my life and perspective towards life and my work. I’ve read it twice and re-read parts of it when I need to give myself a pep talk. It’s story based in philosophy about love, life, relationships, work ethic, business and more. I would love to hear your summary about this book.
Centered on; never centered around. Love you.
Hola Elizabeth, adding Love and Project Hail Mary to my list :) I stayed until the end and saving your presentation for reference in Ideas folder in You Tube. The Untethered Soul: not a single moment has it not unveiled a truth to me. Every instant of every day.
Hey Elizabeth, love your content I'm a bit of a nerd myself and definitely made it to the end. I really want to take a look at: The Untethered Soul, Organized Chaos, and Love, possiblity Creativity: The Psychology of Discovery but I'm a creative type so I'm not sure if that last one will be difficult reading.
I identify a lot with you! I spent hundreds of hours untangling my issues, you are providing great advice forward. Thank You
Even though your speaking is really fast (for me :D), I understand every single word, you speak so clear! I'm learning English , and your channel is perfect for me.
@ElizabethFilips_ Aren't you a scammer, are you?
Stephen Hawking's The Grand Design superb and I've learned it. Deep understanding of the universe mentioned in this book.
I’ve heard that too! Definitely want to read
Thank you so much for your recommendations, I just want to read absolutely all of them *---*
I already have Still Born on my to-be-read list and can't wait to get it. It sounds very interesting.
I had a good reading year and based on the books you have in this video, I think you might like these of my favorites from this year:
- *The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis* - sci-fi about an extraterrestrial being who appears on Earth and in order to achieve its goals has to work with humans and our rules and moods and all that makes us human. Absolutely great book about what makes us human and how much we are shaped by our surroundings and the people around us.
- *Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World by Hans Rosling* - 10 of the most common biases that make us misinterpret information and data. Eye-opening and easy to read.
- *Consent by Vanessa Springora* - Memoir by a woman who had a relationship with a much older man when she was underaged. It's her way to come to terms with what happened. The base of the book is her asking if the fact that she gave consent to the relationship justifies its existence or not. It's not a nice read but it is very interesting.
