Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.

Your passion when you talk about books is contagious!
It is.
❤
So True... Love listening to people who Carry Passion in what they do or speak of... Authentic Passion. 👍
Never in my life I've seen a book recommendations video and wanted to read each and everyone of them.
How are you so relevant, Liz? It's exceptional
Thank you!
Exactly.... All of the Books Recommend here seems Interesting &: Relevant in some way or another. 📚
“If you made it this far you’re probably a nerd” 😅 Ohh yes most definitely haha. Awesome video. I’ll definitely check out some of these books. Thanks!
Haha thanks for watching Sophie!
I do relate so much here 😅
nerds are the people with biggest hearts 💖
@Elizabeth Filips :- honey you better start looking for someone as these books are good to read but the reality is not as noble as the books shows
Haw are wat is the book arabica yas ou now?
I absolutely loved this and the recommendations! I also admire your take on the parenting book - I never thought to digest the information for myself rather than for my children. This is going to be my book list of the year! Cheers to evolution of the human heart and soul! 💖
Elizabeth I just listed so many books to order from this video that I think I'll love, thank you for the inspo here! + kudos to how confidently and effortlessly you are in front of the camera! 😊
“If you don’t have this home to escape to, create it”. I’ve added plenty to my list of books to read thanks to this, but as always, I relate more than anything to the Harry Potter comments at the end. Life is crazy, busy and stressful (isn’t it for everyone) and without HP I don’t know ho I’d cope sometimes 😅 Hope you (and everyone reading this) had an amazing Xmas and New Year!
Loved this video, Liz! It was so genuine and relatable. Getting at least a few of books from this list!
Enjoyed this, and the well-selected quotes and tidbits that piqued my interest for basically every choice here. Excited! Thanks
Greta selection of books ranging in a different number of genres. My book list for 2022 is looking so exciting? Thanks for the recommendations, Elizabeth 🙂
I've gone ahead and put all of these books on hold at the library. Elizabeth, what you speak of aligns with my soooul and I'm so thankful I came across this video tonight in this moment.. I've watched your content over the past 2 years however, it's been a minute and you couldn't have showed up at a more perfect time. Thank you for all you do, Elizabeth. Congratulations on your success.
Hi friend
Looking for book recommendations and I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND MY WAY HERE. I really love how you described each book it makes me feel so hooked to try all of them.
Thank you for the amazing recommendations! I’ve just uploaded my reading list for 2022 and now I’m truly hoping to finish them early so I can add some of your recs 🥰
I absolutely love this video! I'm definitely saving these recommendations for my reading list (and of course, rereading the hp series!)
So many of your books match with my favourites this year! Thank you!
Watching most of the videos today for you! Loving them :) I knew you first through Ali and then because i started looking for books and how to start reading but now i like the whole series of uploads you have.
Always love your book recommendations. Thank you for sharing!
Great list 🙏🏽, already read Shoe dog and Naval Ravikant, just loved it. Checking the remaining books, thank you!!!
Love this content! Definitely going to grab a few of your recommendations. Thank you.
Elizabeth I truly didn’t need 22 more books to add to my tbr on top of my massive to do list in 2022 but I want to read them all, thank you for these recommendations!! 💕
Ikr, there are too many books out there! lmao
I was quite sad about the lack of fiction in my life, Time Enough for Love seems like the perfect recommendation for me! Thank you!
Also, as a non-fiction afficionado, loved all your descriptions! Many are in my waiting list now!
Ah, and do you know about the fanfic Harry Potter and the Methods of Ratiionality? It seems like you would enjoy lol (and if you take book recommendations as well, I LOVE discussing books!)
Shoe dog is soo good. It was candidly told and i loved that he shared all the hurdles he has faced and how he went about it. Like you said it felt like a normal person telling his story, which was nice.
Loving every single recommendation and the passion you transmit while talking. I recently discovered your channel and I feel so inspired by you :)
Agreed here... So True.
You are always the source of good books to read! Thank you Elizabeth for sharing! I LOVE Alain de Botton!
What an excellent video, loved loved the eclectic mix. So... I promised myself no more Amazon purchases for now, but it's impossible after this video. I can't believe I haven't heard of so many of these gems. Thank you!
I’m loving your videos and the way you think
AH THANK YOU ELISA!
Thank you. One of your videos inspired me to get a library card and take out some books you recommend. I'm about halfway through the perfectionism book. Sooooo good! Just thought you would like to know that you've made a positive difference in my life 🙂
What a fantastic list. I'll certainly be checking out some of these. Thx.
They all sound so good! Want to read all of them. Also think I will be buying a few of these as Xmas gifts for friends and family so thank you so much for the help with my Xmas shopping ☺️
I am currently reading 'Life of Pi' by Yann Martel. I knew nothing about it when I started (only that is was about a boy stranded on the pacific in a boat with a Bengal Tiger) and it has been an absolute blast!
As an engineering master student I'm learning to love reading again. After all those years of forcefully reading obnoxious literature in class, I finally started to read books I am interested in: Life op Pi, Dune, Harry Potter, A Poem for every day of the year etc. More to come for sure!
cheers to the book nerds!
Thank you for mentioning the obnoxious literature in class. It killed reading for me for a long while
you can also watch the movie life of pi after completing the book
Awesome book just read it a couple months ago
Nice to see 'Life Of Pi' mentioned, I have a signed limited copy from twenty years ago. Did you feel cheated when it was finished like I did?
@@shaundelaney2127 Not necessarily cheated, but it for sure gave me a lot to think about. Questions like what is truth for example.
I can also highly recommend the Thug Notes video on Life of Pi! It's very funny
Thanks for the vid, so many interesting recommendations I don't know where to start!
:)
Thanks for this list, so glad that 4 of my fave books are in your list . Will definitely read the rest. Ciao from Rome 😊
Thanks a lot for these recommendations
Such a nice mix of recommendations, thank you :)
I'm so excited to read these!!
I have wrote all the books on my note and I definitely going to read them all one by one. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for being positive! It's always nice to hear someone else's opinion. Love the accent, and the scull head btw!
Amazing video. I started it thinking I will just take one or two books to my tbr, and I have added all of them. Thanks much for all the recommendations and the short reviews ;)
Awh thanks for watching Clau!
Great recs. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! These are different book, than the books everyone reccomends!!!!!! Got some great new recommendations!
I found the book that I want to read for the rest of the holiday here. Thanks! Also, quite a range...
Amazing video! The passion you have in describing books is really making me excited to try some of your recommendations after a looooong slump from reading😂
Haha thank you Shana!
All these books sound amazing! I appreciate the recommendations and can’t wait to start reading them!
Ah thank you Rebecca!
Very inspiring girl!
I will make sure to read some of these perls you recommend.
Thank you for sharing!
🥰🥰
Love your enthusiasm! Have read most of the nonfictions. Totally 👍
Lots of prayers and wishes, Alpha!
When I learnt about the scarcity mindset, many years ago now, it immediately resonating with me,
and helped me to get my finances in order.
I know you wont read this, but needed to release the sentiment....im so glad I found this channel. Easily applicable tips that have already helped me declutter upstairs and cut right to whats important. Thank you! Im sure youre helping thousands of others in similar ways each day.
I’ve seen a lot of “read these books” lists on UA-cam. This is the first time I actually want to read every single book on the list. I have read all of the Harry Potter books, but none of the others. Thank you so much for this. I’ve liked and subscribed!
thank you, and welcome Michael!!
Thank you for great recommendations. I definitely think and read along similar lines to you. I’m starting from the top. I recommend the Hyperion series to you
The number of times you said “I don’t like , but….” makes me want to get out of my comfort zone too ❤️
Glad to see some of my favorite books in this list.
Read Mr. Feynman in my teenage years and it changed my relationship with studying in school and learning in general. I would recommend any teens to do the same.
"Algorithms to Live by" helps me the way self-help books are supposed to help: how to approach living. I abhor the self-help genre, but if there is a manual for life then this could be one. It works by answering some of the most sought-out questions without being ostentatious or obscure. It's amazing how teaching machines to think and solve our problems can teach us back about living on our own. Every chapter in this book is a gem and worthy to read again and again in one's lifetime. It's just that good to read.
I work in palliative care. So, I may be biased but Dr. Mannix's book is a must read for everyone, interested in the field or not. If "Being Mortal" deals with the attitude toward the care at the end of life and "When Breathe Becomes Air" is a memoir of dying, "With the End in Mind" is a personal collection of real stories about people in their last days. Just stories and insight of a physician who has been taking care of dying people for decades. I am aspired to become like her one day, and hopefully help others to do the same.
Harry Potter even with its controversy can still be an easy recommendation. The Order of Phoenix is my favorite of the bunch. I don't know if that's because of teenagers-conspiring-in-secret-to-save-the-world or just my tendency to secretly defile authority.
The Course of Love is a hard read for me. It's dry like you said. I read it hoping to find love. Instead, I found an exhibition of love with minute narration from a bored museum staff. Clearly not my cup of tea. Should I give it another try though?
Adored this ✨💚
OH MY GOD Melanie I absolutely have LOVED your content for the longest time ❤️❤️ just had to say you’re the absolute best, happy new year! 🎉
I started to read the algorithms to live by today after your recommendation, it's a tough book feels like I'm back in college 🎓 could you make a summary of it in future videos if possible
I love your book recommendation videos the most; I started to read Virginia Woolf after your recommendation ( in a different book - video ) and instantly fell in love with "a room of one's own"
Thank you Liz 🖤
Wonderful, helpful summaries; thank you!
Love it when you nerd out. "Time Enough for Love" is outstanding!
Yay, a >20min video about books! "With the end in mind" sounds great!
Elizabeth, your hand gestures are so on point it’s almost poetic! - Jasbir from ptya4. Thanks for all your help!
hahaha thank you Jasbir!!! So glad you enjoyed PTYA too 😆😆
I really like these book recommendations, thanks for this Elizabeth. I will probably take a look at "Time Enough for Love" and "The Course of Love". Another book about relationships that I personally really like is "Relationships and Higher Purpose" by Marshall Vian Summers.
Cool bro.
Elizabeth! wonderful energy!!!! Fellow Nerd! love love love. Enjoy the reading!
YAASSSSS to book content! 🤩🔥🙌🏼
Wow, this was so inspiring. Thanks!
You're so inspiring. I don't think I'll ever be able to do all the things you're doing but you're living my ideal life.
Wow, amazing the way you describe the books, a very interesting narrative process.
Your way of expression is outstanding and really a way of motivation towards reading books. stay blessed
😂 yes need to get how to Take smart notes! This has been on my list for a while but thanks to you it just got pushed up way to the top!
The advisory on books is like pearls of wisdom from a lady of extraordinary beauty. I shall treasure it.
Thanks for making this videos. Didn't know that these kind of books do exist in this world. I will definitely read them. Usually i don't comment on any videos that i found on youtube unless and until the content is moving. Keep up the good work😊👍.
you know how some people u find a little happy/joy and they sabotage it
Thank you for your recommendations. I'll start with rip it up!
How to take smart notes is awesome!! I am always recommending it
This is the first vlog I came across on 'Books' . I already have one of the books ( you mentioned ) in my collection and wish to read some of the other books recommended.
I love Robert Heinlein, fell in love with his stuff with Stranger In a Strange Land. I've never read Time Enough For Love, but ordered it because of this video.
Alfie is a beautiful soul. Thanks to him I have parented my children in a vastly different way than I was parented myself. Children are important, they have innate wisdom, we are not the boss of them and I say yes to them as often as I can because when I need to say no it is meaningful. I never drag them anywhere they want to go, never make them do chores and YET they are super cooperative, helpful and thoughtful and wise beyond their years. They have boundaries that I had to work very hard to put in place for myself and still struggle to do so. Although they are only twelve they take deep dives in to subjects that interest them. We learn so much together. They teach me so much about wondrous things such as geography and cultures, astronomy, psychology, animation and love. Thank goodness for Alfie and other mentors who I turn to to learn the loving, kind parenting that just feels right. You’re on a great track Elizabeth. Hugs 🥰
Thank you for the book recommendations. I liked some of them, and I bought one.
One more thing, although you are fast in speaking, but it is very clear and understandable due to your great accent.
Thank you, Elizabeth!
Oh, my... We are lucky that ebooks and libraries exist because I haven't so much space at home for all the books I have noted, hahahaha Thank you a lot for your reviews.
Thanks for the recommendations👍
happy new year !
in coming winter vacation, I'll definitely read Time enough for love, the art of impossible, the third door, and CERTAINLY at least two books of Harry Potter that I was going to reread even before I watched this video💛🤪
DEFO finish Harry Potter haha
@@elizabethfilips hi friend want to talk
Elizabeth I loved this one. ❤️❤️❤️ you deserve million subscribers
Awh thank you Lomenea!!! ❤️
Great content!!!!! Recently questioning love and I’ve just started reading the course of love two days ago! Shoe Dogs’s always been on my list. HARRY POTTER CLASSIC HAHAH
thanks for the list!! Can’t wait for the 2023 one xD
Show dog was great!
Haha thank you!
Thanks a lot...... My favorite topic "book recommendations"...... ♥️
I love your energy!
Thank you….I listened right to the end and have added all the books to my Amazon wish list
- think I must be a ‘nerd’ 🤓🤫🧐. I will buy the ‘Smart notes’ recommendation now as it will likely help me with my 2nd brain. Thank you so much for another great, thorough and passionate video. 💜👌🥰
“words have to die if people are to TrueType live”addition truetype
Thanks! So helpful!
Hi, Elizabeth :) Thank you so much for these recommendations! I was looking for something to read in English, cause it's not my first language. I'll definitely have a look at these books. Besides, You're so beautiful and nice! I also love the way you talk! I have subscribed to your channel and hit the 'Like' button. Thanks again.
I love u so much ♡ thank u Elizabeth ^^
Nothing is more attractive than watching your enthusiasm.... ♥♥♥
Thank you for this exceptional and informational video. Great Job! Loved it 👌🌈
You brought out some great books. I really like some of them and checked them out.
It’s refreshing to see another with very similar tastes. Love Philosophy, science, and psychology. An ex self help junkie, love informative books or stimulating fiction. Most booktubers just read for entertainment which is fine but yea I feel like I am more similar to you haha. You’d probably like Matt Haig’s “The Humans,” recently read that. Currently reading Jeremy Lint’s the Pattern Instinct and the Web of Meaning
First vid, I followed every where and rang the bell. Wish you had a Goodreads very brilliant lady :)
Excellent job 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Love her fast speech and passionate intonation ☺️
i love the christmas music in the background
I absolutely love this recommendations,,, ❤️❤️
100% agree that Smart Notes is a game changer. I honestly don't know how I did a masters dissertation without reading that book. Read it early. Put it into practice. Keep is as a reference.
Please do more book review videos - love them!
this is nice inspiration for me
You could give "Anxious People" By Fredrik Backman and "Illuminae" By Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufmann also I couldn't agree more about your take on Harry Potter, it is homecoming for so many of us!
Hi Eli I do realy wanna know how do you find the time to do all of this please let me know I'm lost in procrastination.
