shoutout books for making me who I am today - I wouldn't be as happy or successful in streaming, comp play or life in general without them so heres my recommendations! PRESS READ MORE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! and as much as im an advocate for therapy after doing it for 2 years, you can honestly skip it if you're able to grasp these ideas & apply them as soon as you finish them. Therapy was more like the entrance to self help, finding purpose & contentment - it was there when I was going through a lot & helps you structure your thoughts and reflect properly. (because everything you want comes from proper self reflection) Green Eggs and Ham Personal favorite book lowkey changed my perspective on trying new things instead of instantly rejecting them. it’s basically about a dude who REFUSES to try green eggs and ham no matter the situation, but keeps getting pressed about it until he finally gives in… and ends up loving it. made me realize how much i limit myself just by saying no before even experiencing things. opened me up to being more curious, less stubborn, and more willing to step outside my comfort zone The Very Hungry Caterpillar helps me stay grounded in growth & patience. it’s literally about a caterpillar eating everything in sight, going through a process, and eventually becoming a butterfly. simple but kinda deep. reminds me that growth takes time and phases, and even when you feel like you're just consuming or going through it, you're still progressing. also lowkey about discipline because bro had NO self control at first 😭 Where the Wild Things Are genuinely a good book about emotions & imagination. kid runs away into a world of monsters, becomes their king, but eventually realizes he still wants to go home. made me think about how we all escape reality sometimes but at the end of the day we still need connection & grounding. helped me understand my own emotions better instead of just running from them Goodnight Moon definitely the most calming and easily digestible, would recommend reading first. it’s literally just saying goodnight to everything in a room, but it creates this peaceful routine and sense of closure. helped me appreciate slowing down and being present, especially at night when my thoughts are racing. kinda trains your brain to wind down and let go anyways, those are just my top books. some others like The Cat in the Hat, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, Oh, the Places You'll Go!, Diary of a wimpy kid are pretty decent but are significantly more unimportant than the topics covered by these books (in my opinion) because if you stay open minded, trust the process, understand your emotions & learn to slow down, I don't see how you wouldn't reach your REAL goals & find fulfillment. im always open to more book recommendations feel free to lmk Shoutout the magic school bus and kidz bop for inspiration -
