Start Where You Are👍 Recommends

The Untethered Soul👍 Recommends
…describing three self-help books that have impacted his life most
“The three that I go back to all the time. One is called The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. And I'm always going back to that book, although there's tons of YouTube videos of him talking. They're all great. And with anything really good, usually they're saying the same thing just in a different way. It's one idea and it's just kind of rewritten to find another way to get you to soak it in.”

Turning Problems into Happiness👍 Recommends
…describing buddhist philosophy books that gary shandling recommended
“And when I met Gary Shandling, he would recommend these Buddhist books to me like Feather on a Fan or Turning Problems into Happiness. Yeah. Turning Problems into Happiness was based on the idea that anytime anything bad happens, you're supposed to be happy because it's giving you an opportunity to work on something.”
