Love this post Tatiana! I turned my nose up at self-help books in my 20s. LOL. I remember my friend recommended Brene Brown and i was like, "isn't that a self-help book!?!?" (face palm).
I am going to get the Elizabeth Gilbert book! I adore her beyond all measure.
I agree with you regarding perfectionism. I've launched that course I told you about and it's not perfect but it's out there! My mantra is going to be, "Love yourself a little bit more". Often when I am frustrated or mad at myself it's because I'm not perfect and i want to be. I want to be so bad! And then I have to remind myself I'm human. And that feels so comforting. All I need is a little love. Let's get it 2023!
Thank you! I’m going to check out these books. I have Big Magic and re-read at random when I need encouragement. I love the photos of the drawings and illustrations, both. Happy New Year! ✨
So wonderful that you made the leap between Europe and Argentina! Bold and beautful move! One of my daugther's teachers at her Spanish immersion school was from Argentina. How we move around the world. I did read "Magic" in the summer following the initial lockdown, borrowed it through a contactless loan system as per Covid protocols. I can't say I liked it as much as Eat, Love, Pray, which I was lucky enough to read a few months ahead of it's catapult rise in fame. I do own the book as I spilled coffee on it and the cover 3/4 of the way through, and the library appropriately charged me for it as they had to buy another copy. For creativity, I have found that Suklieka Jouad's (Between Two Kingdoms) 100 creative day project rebooted my sewing and knitting projects, (I now know that Michelle Obama took up knitting during the pandemic), and the Hatch she set up to be run by her author friends in NY and Austin: a monthly meeting with 400+ women and a few good men from around the world, where we meet over coffee on Zoom to discuss writing and write with prompts and discussion, has insprired my writing. I did read Simple Path to Wealth, I wish I had read it earlier in my life, and some of the investment information I can't use as I now live in Canada. I will put Atomic Habits on my list, as I have noticed it on many tables and bookshelves of American You Tubers, plus it was a choice of a local business book club in Port Moody, BC, to which I did not belong. For more writing and a look at your inner soul, I recommend David Whyte's "3 Sundays in x month, (whatever month he offers it. Last year, I treated myself to: Jeffrey Davis's book: "Tracking Wonder" and that helped me see more delight in my environment. The poetry of John O'Donahue is always inspiring as your spirit travels. I just got the following New Year's mantra fom an Instagram post of a woman with a disabilty post: "My New Year's resolution is to stop wondering if I am good enough for other people and start wondering if they're good enough for me".
The handmade ones look all the more endearing. Reminds me of a line from this poem, "Your exact errors make a music" https://www.poeticous.com/william-stafford/you-and-art Wishing you a lovely new year full of bold and lush creativity.. ❤️🦜🌺
Great diversity in your suggestions. Definitely endorse Big Magic. Will go to Atomic Habits and Meditation soon. I appreciate you included the link to get the books. From my experience I’d add When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron. It’s uplifting and real. Enjoy Argentina! Have the Argentinians lost it with their World Cup championship?
I never understood why self-help books are looked down on. What could be more glorious than someone trying to improve their life and themselves? It must be a hesitation for people to be vulnerable.
Not sure how I missed this, but glad to have discovered it! What a great collection of books! I loved Elizabeth Gilbert's book -- maybe especially that story about someone else picking up a story idea that she had abandoned (or was it vice versa?) -- and now you've given me some excellent ideas for a couple of others to investigate. Happy New Year!
YOU are the wabi-sabi the world needs.
Thank you for always inspiring me.
Happy New Year my beautiful girl.

When capricorns finally heal we all heal. Thank you for teaching me stuff I wasn’t ready to understand. Priceless.
In love with the line, “Self-help feels like the erotica of non-fiction.”

Loved "Big Magic"! Such a great book on creativity. Will definitely look into the others for sure! :)
One of my favorite quotes is "practice makes better."
