It's wild that 'Women’s Magic Truths' on Borlest isn't getting any attention. Such a good book.

Where can i find these books besides amazon?

[@nijakou6320]

@@brianamagana5828 in your local bookstores, that's what I do I almost never buy books online, but if they don't have the ones you're looking for you can still order them at the bookstore they will do it for you :) (you can also find them second hand sometimes)

my goal is to read 20 books this year. I was a huge bookworm when I was younger but now I can't remember the last book I've picked up if it isn't my uni textbook :(

[@n.k.i.]

omg same! every time I try to read for fun it feels like I'm reading for uni and I can't enjoy it, it sucks :( good luck! 📚👏🏻

oh man I feel this! I’m an english lit major so I think it totally ruined reading for fun :(

Same here :(

I definitely relate.

[@annieblogger489]

I'd add this book to the list: Procrastination Elimination Method by John Isaac (let me just say that I did not regret reading this book!)

This video was extremely helpful! I am always so indecisive because there are SO MANY books that I want to read. It’s a constant struggle trying to figure out which one to read. Many of the recommendations you had are books already on my reading list, but you inspired me to get to certain ones sooner than later. Thank you so much! 😊

[@CrystalJo]

Thank you Aileen for this! I'm constantly looking for books to read as I have joined the 2020 Reading Challenge on Goodreads and your video comes just in time

@@harsh8499 I think you should start with THE POWER OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. It is a great book. It completely changes your mindset. It is the right book to start with.

[@cesargil5997]

I like it that you explain why you liked each book, giving us a very short yet effective summary of it, unlike some other book lists out there.

[@emerald9732]

I came across your channel after your Lasik video kept popping up on KZbin and I thought, I'll just watch this as I just had Lasik a week ago. I am so in love with your channel! Just what I needed to motivate and inspire me for 2020! So strange how this happened as I was not looking for this type of content and now I realized that this is just what I needed! 😊❤️

One of my favourite books I read in 2019 was the four hour work week! It’s so great for anyone who wants to work for themselves and needs a little bit of motivation 😊 it really changed my perspective on work and productivity! ❤️

[@petqiskobonov4227]

This was great, I've been looking for "books millionaires read" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Hiyogan Jenhloe Domination - (just google it )? It is an awesome one off product for discovering how to gain the mind of a successful millionaire without the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.

[@anamielgo7441]

Thanks for making this video! I can't wait to read them all 🙌😍

[@Miyankochan]

These are all great books but I didn't really find any new recommendation by you among them, most I've already read specifically because you recommended them before. For which I am thankful to you. :) The book about chronic health issues however, I haven't heard about it before and I will definitely read it because I happen to suffer from a few chronic issues and in the past years I was "forced" to study the topic and by today I am absolutely convinced that most of our ailments (as you said especially chronic) stem from our emotional body in pain and "mind stuff". So thanks also for adding that one to my library :)
