In this video, I’m basically giving you my self-help book *starter guide*—aka the books I genuinely think are the perfect entry point if you’re in your self-improvement book era and you don’t know where to start. I share the titles that helped shape my mindset, productivity, confidence, and overall outlook, and I explain who I think each book is best for (like if you’re into manifestation, habit-building, anxiety science, or even public speaking). I go through a few of my favorites, like *The Power of Your Subconscious Mind* if you want to understand the subconscious and actually apply law of attraction/manifestation in daily life. If you want identity work and better habits/relationships, *The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People* is one of my top recommendations—there are concepts like “think win-win” that feel so practical for school, work, and friendships. I also talk about *Emotional Detox for Anxiety* for everyday stress and learning the science behind anxiety (plus techniques like breathing and learning about the vagus nerve), and *TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking* if you want to sound more confident and engaging. I also share my biggest book hack: I thrift a lot of these or grab them on eBay for under $5 with free shipping. And I end with a must-read I gifted to a friend—*Atomic Habits*—because it’s so in-depth on breaking bad habits and building good ones.
