What a thief! You read all this material only to steal from people like this? 9,400 for only 4 weeks? Thats just plain robbery!! Wow im going to start reading the same amount of books so i can start doing the same! What a thieffff!!!!
Also you said youre going to speak very fast bc there is not enough time fyi time doesnt exist it is unlimited you say that bc you want to manipulate people into thinking there isnt enough time. Wow impressive!!
@@everardomunoz5306 You just negated the very basis of your criticism. You say time doesn’t exist but are questioning the proposed value of 4 weeks of mentorship as if that’s “not enough time”. And then immediately follow up saying time is unlimited 😂 If it doesn’t exist, how is it subject to both your value judgment and quantization. And before you go there, unlimited isn’t the same thing as infinite. Anyway, just like time, the value of something is based on the perception of the one valuing it.
@@unKnownExperiencer I didn't criticize the time of the "mentorship" i criticized the content of it. How is something this individual is going to change someones life? Yes I said 4 weeks and you may be right bc we live in a 3d world time is a fact. But in reality time doesnt exist is an ilussion. But what im really critizicing is the content for the value of it, that content for 9,400. What is he going to teach someone, how to magically appear gold or what?
The fact that you’re even on TH-cam and talking about this radically authentic and evolutionary necessity for the survival of Humanity topic is pretty darn cool. Who else would tell us about these books? Maybe a psychology professor somewhere in some school. Being raised by a 40 point impulsive psychopath didn’t help me any. Your videos have, at the very least, validated my hard fought and won healing journey. Thank you.

Thank you Jordan. For any new subscribers this guy can point you to a special place in your life. His voice, manner and appearance runs deep into the richness of life as a human being. He connects in a deeply nurturing way. He evokes insight, knowledge and emotional balance. Enjoy!
thank you, you are one of the rare youtubers to encourage people to watch videos as minimilalisticly as possible and that is trully so inspiring, caring and being real! hope more and more people will reach out to this channel to give some love and effort for themselves to heal! thanks for sharing all of this crazy crazy work!
You're so welcome! I really do see the value being in the books, so I can't help myself doing as much as I can to highlight their power. Wishing you well.
I can feel your furstation, and I've never commented before but I felt it might be encouraging (if you do see this) to hear that I have gone on a binge of your work and it is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm starting off with the inner work essentials but I'm orderning half the books here I believe will be useful for my journey, and I have been voraciously consuming all this material for the past couple of weeks. Your efforts aren't being thrown into the abyss, many of us are working hard to pay respect to your hardwork and generosity of gifting us with your knowledge and compassion. So, truly, and deeply, thank you.
I got so excited finding this video that I literally danced a little in the first minutes while writing down the books, so that I could shake the energy off. I am really grateful for the massive high quality work that you are doing, Jordan! Your book recommendations and wonderful syntheses have been guiding me throughout this year, which has been mostly surfing from one existenttial disintegration to another. Thank you for the awesome wrapping-up and for sharing the insights of your work - this is the best new year's/Christmas present I could receive!

Your community is growing! Was one of your early subscribers and really happy for you. 🌻 I like your videos and sometimes I really binge watch those. Please keep up this good work. Best wishes! ♥️
Less youtube and more reading in 2023! This morning, I unsubscribed from 75% of my youtube subscriptions to dedicate more time to reading this year...your list is a divine synchronicity! I'm so grateful, this list is amazing Jordan. Thank you. I already bought Trials of a Visionary Mind and Embodied Spirituality in a Sacred World a few weeks ago, tomorrow will buy The Primal Wound, The Eden Project, Core Energetics, The Pregnant Virgin, and adding a few IFS books.....I'll be starting with Trials of a Visionary Mind. Thank you again for your generosity in sharing this invaluable content.
I absolutely love Jungs red book, not from a psychological or scientific viewpoint but actually from an experienced one. There is so much I can relate to on deep realization path and the merging of absolute and relative that is described in those stories and anecdotes is just beautiful. Most valuable book I've read for me personally
Thank you so much for taking the time and the generosity to share your recommendations with us, as a hypnotherapist I apreciate this so much and read them all!
I'm absolutely blown away by your psychology book recommendation list. I have to be honest, some of these books are too complicated to be understood by normal people. I wish I could appreciate them, but they would go right over my head. I'm going to read some of the lighter books that you have recommended.
You'll have an excellent time with the books you're drawn towards - enjoy the reading, and feel free to check out more videos on the channel. Recommended 200+ books here in total!
I get your frustration and anger, let it out. I am so very thankful for your content and for your wonderful recommendations! Bought at least 15 books your recommended and i became a passionate reader again that prefers education over infotainment. Thank you brother for your dedication and your study, sending love from austria, Katrin
Thanks for being one of the rare people who picks up the gold given to them! Appreciate you - enjoy the channel, got a new 24 book video for you for 2024 too.
I really admire how frustrated you are, and expressive about it too, about this being 'just another video' we pass through. I'm surprised I know none of these books, and that alone makes me want to buy some and read them. This was incredibly valuable. I'll come back and let you know which ones I end up buying and reading. Happy 2024, and thank you for this. :))
Thank you so much for posting these recs!! It's so helpful to know which books will actually be helpful when moving into more advanced consciousness healing. Thank you, Jordan!
Glad it was helpful - these are some of the best out there, and my Inner Work Essentials series also features golden books in every episode. Check them ou, Raluca - and happy reading!
I have purchased 3 of these books ..for now, will likely purchase more off the list at a later time but I read very very slowly. I did this immediately after watching this video because, 1, I love studying and 2, I could see how passionate and emphatic you were that people actually do it… and you put such an effort to bring us your recommendations. (Outer authority) You mentioned at the end the feeling you had of frustration and anger… and due to that, along with the pace and volume of your obviously regular reading habits, my guess would be that you are a manifesting generator by design. Love, a projector.
Thank you Jordan, this is wonderful guidance! I have just purchased a few of these and really looking forward to further reading! Your work is immensely valuable.
I think it’s totally fine. But because you voiced your frustration, I receive it coming directly from your heart in the form of goodwill. And as a result, I wrote down the first 12 books, and once I get through those, I’ll come back and start in on the next 10! Thank you so much for doing this. Those who see the value of a curated list like this will receive it, just like I did. Thank you again.
Nice job. I liked the snappy book mentions. You showed the cover, authors, and why you liked it. Enough for us to determine whether we're interested or not.
Hi Jordan I'm just about to listen to your video but read your intro first. I commented on another video last night to say thanks for the recommendation of the first book I'm reading from some you suggested (I only found your channel a couple of weeks ago) out of 4 that I bought. In case you missed my comment or it got lost, it was to acknowledge my gratitude for all your hard work which goes into every aspect of your content. The effort you must exert is enormous and it's so valuable, it's something I greatly appreciate and feel fortunate to have access to the wisdom and insights that you facilitate and share freely. The book I'm reading is Trials of the Visionary mind and it grabbed me straight away. Its one of those books that could truly open up a space to help with navigating the most difficult and terrifying stages of the awakening process, and potentially save a life. This isn't me being dramatic, I just know in that book alone, there's so much practical guidance for dark night experiences and potentially dangerous psychological terrain without the right support. There are times I get so close to falling into the deepest hole where the existential suffering pushes me towards looking for an escape from this life. The reason I wanted to share my experience with you Jordan is to let you know that I recognise your dedication, true wisdom and sincerity. There are very few spiritual teachers/ creators that I feel I can relate to on this level of awareness. When I heard your first video I knew you were the real deal and I felt a healing connection with you (unbeknownst to you!) where I have noticed a significant shift in only a couple of weeks. This is no mean feat, as I've been following this path for 13 years, and dedicating my life towards my overall growth and healing. My initial intention and motivation in the first place was a clear sense I needed to be involved in service work. I just had to feel I was contributing and doing something that might make someone's life a little easier, help them discover their beauty from within and anything that was possible to bring meaning and joy in their lives. Your video about the wounded healer came at such a moment it was like you were reading my mind and energy. It was one of the most incredible mystical experiences I've encountered so far, and I could see for the first time where I'd been stuck for years. It was so illuminating for me and helped me do some amazing integrative work to bring light and awareness of lots of things I've gone through. I know you are not ego driven and I wouldn't insult you by making sycophantic remarks to blow smoke up your derrier 🤪 But I couldn't stop myself from sharing this with you, to make you aware of the enormity of how you are impacting me. I'd like to think there are more people out there who feel the same way, who are reading the books and learning some of the key aspects of the spiritual path to understand it and avoid some predictable pitfalls and traps. They might just be reluctant to share for whatever reasons, but I'd be very surprised if few of your viewers are not reading the gems you suggest. If anyone else sees this comment and doesn't think they need the books, or can't make the effort and commitment to investing in such valuable material, it might be worth reflecting on the reasons for not working with any book recommendations. I can vouch 100% that from one book alone, these suggestions are priceless. Jordan, you have my deepest respect and gratitude for the time and personal work you had to go through, to be able to share your findings. There's so much garbage out there especially with the whole new age-ey nonsense. Jordan is saving lots of time and attention to provide top notch guidance from some seriously advanced spiritual/ psychological practitioners and writers. It strikes me as disrespectful of the work and an apathetic attitude to not be bothered. This isn't coming from a place of judgement, but a genuine desire for whoever values Jordan and this channel to fully immerse themselves in these teachings and books. It's too easy to read short bitesized articles or listen to a few TH-cam videos, but anyone who is serious about their growth, spiritual progression and their mental health should be able to recognise how much there actually is to learn and comprehend. We don't have the luxury of coming from a shamanic community where there was so much support and wisdom from the elders to support the process. Most of us can't just abscond and join a monastery to protect oneself from external influences and have clearer rules to be more conducive to the healing process without the harshness of the external world. It's rare to find exceptional individuals who are qualified medical professionals/ psychologists to support any mental health states that accompany certain stages AND an understanding of the spiritual path to provide an integrated support system. There's a great need for a more transpersonal psychological framework or approach towards being capable of assisting someone who is stuck in a key stage in the awakening process. Most of us are literally on our own for whatever reasons, without having access to the necessary and adequate care to avoid getting into serious psychological trouble or be able to make sense of what's going on with us on every level. It's even worse trying to do this work if you lack any support or acceptance in your life, where you are viewed as unhinged and not taken seriously when you really need to feel safe and nurtured. This is why your content is so unique and valuable Jordan, and you are providing the best source of guidance and support that one could hope for, who may be in the midst of feeling lost, disillusioned and tangled up with too much overwhelming processes happening all at once. The new age and various ideologies promoted by false and delusional figures paint such a rosy picture of the spiritual journey, when this total bulls#hit. Most of us have endured inconceivable emotional pain through working through our wounding and traumas and it can be relentless. This is the content that is absolutely crucial right now to face the times we are living in. Sorry that ended up being more of an epic ramble than I hoped 🥴 I'm just off to listen to your video now so I can jot down more books and get back into my current book you have shared 📚. Thank you so much, you are so generous and kind. Keep up the good work as you have been blessed with many gifts for service work that are vital for this epoch in time 🌸🕊️

Thank you for taking the time to write such an extensive comment, it means a lot to me and I wish you well for your next year ahead.
thank you, love you! yes these spaces are highly frustrating but I also believe these videos have a way of finding the right people at the right time. like it found me today
Welcome, check out the shadow work playlist if you want a great starting point. Or my 24 books for 2024 which I posted in January… have fun and welcome again.
Hello Jordan, I recently came across your channel and wanted to say I really appreciate your content and book recommendations. The quality of curation is excellent, and I appreciate the incredible volume of books you've read and you generously share your best insights with others. I've always had a strong draw to do Inner Work and Shadow Work, but never came across the right "language" or resources to get started. You have illuminated a path for me to elevate my consciousness and be a better more integrated person. 2023 I will make a focused effort to start on some prior book recommendations from other videos - I've purchased several books and look forward to reading them. I would love to hear a bit more about your reading and note taking process, or if covered in other videos I will watch them in due time. Hope you are well and thank you for your excellent work, I look forward to more of your videos. All the best and best regards!
I've screenshotted your question as will likely release a video titled "How to Read More & Remember It All in 2023" or something like that - probably in a few weeks, thanks for the inspiration, Christopher!
@@jordanthornton Thank you for your reply Jordan, I look forward to reading the books and more of your videos. To read 180 books a year is unheard of, and to be able to talk about it is another level of achievement still. Your discipline in reading and study is inspiring and something I very much admire.
Your videos are never unforgettable. Thanks for all you do. All this free content is so appreciated. You have already helped me heal in so many ways. ❤
You're an awesome human! Thank you for your service and devotion. Its not much but let me give this back: You're causing positive change in people you will never even meet once in your life and that is nothing short of beautiful!
I'm just now starting chapter 7 of Jung's Map of the Soul, and I can't thank you enough for the recommendation. It's been the most challenging and rewarding thing I've ever read, having only read one psychology book prior.
Glad that I keep recommending it - great to hear of your progress. I hope you're ready for the dozens of books which await you on this inner work journey hahah
10:17...and 10 more! Hahaha I loved this video. I was typing up the books I've purchased from your channel as I watched it 🙃. I'll send it to you for next session
You are great at what you do. I sense that you need to receive this message right now in your journey. Believe wholeheartedly in what you bring to the world because it is making a difference and I know you will let go of your fears and be a beacon of light from this day forward. Fully powerful and uninhibited as your unapologetic true self which is truly glorious.
Good luck with your studies, but please be wary that the majority of books I recommend on this channel won't be covered in most BA or MA programmes - they tend to be more scientifically focused with modalities like CBT or general works. Still very rewarding, but this channel is primarily transpersonal psychology, jungian psychology, somatic psychology and humanistic psychology. Enjoy the research ahead.
I had been taking a break from my psychology studies for a long time and was looking for reading suggestions. Now I will watch the video again by taking notes, I saw the channel for the first time but I feel it will be helpful. I'm thinking of returning and editing the comment as I read it! Thanks!
I loved your passion , your content was rich and indeed high quality, I was just scrolling in search bof a recommendation , as a beginner and found , I would like to to review your content ❤
We have such similar tastes and interests so i know that each book you mentioned are going to be right up my alley. I very much appreciate this video...actually all of your videos.
so far, I have two of Marion Woodman's books, The Pregnant Virgin and Addiction to Perfection. I'm going through the second one now. There's three others that weren't mentioned in this video but I plan on reading next: Hands of Light by Barbara Ann Brennan, Soul Centered Astrology by Alan Oken and Transcendent Sex by Jenny Wade (we'll see what I think of the last one). I can read through those first and then maybe make my way through the stacks you mentioned here. Thanks Jordan, and Hapy New Year!
Happy to be helpful - some great advanced reads here, check out my latest shadow work playlist which I uploaded this week. Got a three hour crash course available for you and six more solid books to put on your bookshelf. You'll love it.
Jordan...even though you were so frustrated by the end of this video...I just wanted to say thank you...for the time spent..because I very much take you seriously and I plan on delving into my own shadow during the month of September (2024) starting with Healing the child within, ( arrives in the mail this Friday 😁) and Trauma and the Soul. Your passion for understanding our nature as human beings, and wanting to rise above the bullshit that our childhoods dropped in our laps...has given me the courage to finally face my shadow (soberly I might add) and hopefully...help be the change the world needs at this time ❤ So once again...I truly appreciate all you do. Please know , it means so much!
Just found out your channel. And i have not even finish my first video of you (which is this one). But the content and production of this video is amazing. Also your voice is the Most pleasant voice i’ve ever listened from men. Exciting to see those videos ❤
You'll love the new videos, they're much better! Welcome and feel free to check out the shadow work playlist, it's got my best work and many more books for you.
What a gift you and your Channel is. I am so thrilled to have found it. I'm not sure if you have read or covered "Reality Surfing" but I've only just delved into it and it's "Mind Boggling". Thank You again : Grateful Old Aussie.
It seems you shared my childhood dream to do as the children did in "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" (except in a library and not a museum)... I think I still might move in to a closet full of books and try to catch-up with you! Thank you for your great insights and recommendations 🌻
Hey there, I just wanted to express my gratitude for this incredible video. It miraculously popped up in my TH-cam recommendations (thank you universe), and based on your suggestion, I decided to dive into James Hollis' "Eden Project" as my next read. Let me tell you, it's been an absolute revelation. I can't remember the last time I was so engrossed in a book; it's like rediscovering the magic of reading all over again. I find myself constantly reaching for my pen to underline passages that resonate deeply with me, and Hollis' language has a way of captivating both my intellect and my emotions. His insights into spirituality and the intricacies of relationships evoke a sense of reverence in me that I haven't felt in ages. So, thank you once again for sharing such invaluable gems with us.
Brother, I'm happy to have you here - you'll love my recent '24 books for 2024' video, uploaded a month ago. It's even better than this one, and will keep the insights coming. Keep stacking the shelves - here to help!
Thank you ❤️ My Buddhist teacher and dear friend sent me a link to this video. Please know that one of the wisest, kindest, gentlest people I’ve ever known obviously valued what you’ve done here, and sent me the link. And my first thought when I started listening is to get a few of those books, and to send this link to my daughter. She’s doing her PhD about mental health policies for children and teenagers. I’m certain she’ll be as excited about your book recommendations as I am. And again, thanks 😊
Many thanks for this, Jordan Thornton. I confess a bit of surprise that you haven't cited a single work by the late Robert A. Johnson. His "Owning Your Own Shadow" is very fine indeed, as is his own "Inner Work." But I will certainly hasten myself to our local libraries to check out these others. Again, thank you.

Katrin, this means a lot to me - thank you for doing the work in earnest. Wishing you much success and enjoyment with your studies in 2023!
Hii friend
easily the best self healing channel
Hoorah - happy reading!
Thanks Jordan
From Nepal
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen, wanted to share I just bought two books from your list and queued up another 6. Thank you.
Thanks for being one of the rare people who picks up the gold given to them! Appreciate you - enjoy the channel, got a new 24 book video for you for 2024 too.
Looks like a great channel. I’m an INFJ who loves depth like this.
I really admire how frustrated you are, and expressive about it too, about this being 'just another video' we pass through. I'm surprised I know none of these books, and that alone makes me want to buy some and read them. This was incredibly valuable. I'll come back and let you know which ones I end up buying and reading. Happy 2024, and thank you for this. :))
You'll love the latest 24 books for 2024 video! More gold and hidden gems, we've got a great year ahead - stock those bookshelves!
I am aspiring to be a great speaker. I like the way you speak; confident, easy, deliberate, subtle..
Thank you, brother.
Not to worry. This video and your recommendations shines brightly. Thank you.
Thanks for being here for these kinds of messages 📚
Thank you so much for posting these recs!! It's so helpful to know which books will actually be helpful when moving into more advanced consciousness healing. Thank you, Jordan!
These are higher level reads for sure - make sure to pick them up!
Thank you for this list! I’m actually composing my 2023 reading list, so I saw this video at the perfect time! ❤
Glad it was helpful - these are some of the best out there, and my Inner Work Essentials series also features golden books in every episode. Check them ou, Raluca - and happy reading!
I have purchased 3 of these books ..for now, will likely purchase more off the list at a later time but I read very very slowly. I did this immediately after watching this video because, 1, I love studying and 2, I could see how passionate and emphatic you were that people actually do it… and you put such an effort to bring us your recommendations. (Outer authority) You mentioned at the end the feeling you had of frustration and anger… and due to that, along with the pace and volume of your obviously regular reading habits, my guess would be that you are a manifesting generator by design.
Love, a projector.
Bruv don't buy them see if you can get a free pdf
This is an excellently structured, no nonsense video. Such great work with the video and thank you for all your work putting it together.
Cheers - I've got a 24 books for 2024 which is even better, released it last week if you're wanting to stack your shelves higher. Welcome.
@@jordanthornton Amazing! I'll check it out, thank u mate 🙏
I was feeling sick the whole week bc few things have depth. Then I saw this vid, thanks for making my day!
Welcome to the channel, enjoy the books! Many more videos for you to dive into here!
Ordered my first 3 books. Downloaded the video so I can easily find the next 3. Thanks you for doing the footwork for me!
You’re the kind of person I make these for - make sure to check out my latest upload from yesterday for another 24 golden choices ✌🏻
@@jordanthorntonhey brother can you wrote them in order in description box,that would be wonderful!
Thanks a ton!
Massive Respect!
Thank you Jordan, this is wonderful guidance! I have just purchased a few of these and really looking forward to further reading! Your work is immensely valuable.
You're so welcome - happy reading for 2023!
Thank you added all to my Amplenote list of books I WILL read.
I think it’s totally fine. But because you voiced your frustration, I receive it coming directly from your heart in the form of goodwill. And as a result, I wrote down the first 12 books, and once I get through those, I’ll come back and start in on the next 10! Thank you so much for doing this. Those who see the value of a curated list like this will receive it, just like I did. Thank you again.
Any recommendations
Thank you for investing the time to recommend these readings.
Thanks for being here.
Nice job. I liked the snappy book mentions. You showed the cover, authors, and why you liked it. Enough for us to determine whether we're interested or not.
Thank you so much for your work !! 🙏💗💫really appreciate your content .Good luck on your journey ✨ love and light !!
You are so welcome, Hatty. Enjoy the reading in 2023!
Your voice is so soothing
Okay gonna watch the video now
Enjoy the books!
Hi Jordan I'm just about to listen to your video but read your intro first. I commented on another video last night to say thanks for the recommendation of the first book I'm reading from some you suggested (I only found your channel a couple of weeks ago) out of 4 that I bought. In case you missed my comment or it got lost, it was to acknowledge my gratitude for all your hard work which goes into every aspect of your content. The effort you must exert is enormous and it's so valuable, it's something I greatly appreciate and feel fortunate to have access to the wisdom and insights that you facilitate and share freely.
The book I'm reading is Trials of the Visionary mind and it grabbed me straight away. Its one of those books that could truly open up a space to help with navigating the most difficult and terrifying stages of the awakening process, and potentially save a life. This isn't me being dramatic, I just know in that book alone, there's so much practical guidance for dark night experiences and potentially dangerous psychological terrain without the right support. There are times I get so close to falling into the deepest hole where the existential suffering pushes me towards looking for an escape from this life.
The reason I wanted to share my experience with you Jordan is to let you know that I recognise your dedication, true wisdom and sincerity.
There are very few spiritual teachers/ creators that I feel I can relate to on this level of awareness. When I heard your first video I knew you were the real deal and I felt a healing connection with you (unbeknownst to you!) where I have noticed a significant shift in only a couple of weeks.
This is no mean feat, as I've been following this path for 13 years, and dedicating my life towards my overall growth and healing. My initial intention and motivation in the first place was a clear sense I needed to be involved in service work. I just had to feel I was contributing and doing something that might make someone's life a little easier, help them discover their beauty from within and anything that was possible to bring meaning and joy in their lives.
Your video about the wounded healer came at such a moment it was like you were reading my mind and energy. It was one of the most incredible mystical experiences I've encountered so far, and I could see for the first time where I'd been stuck for years.
It was so illuminating for me and helped me do some amazing integrative work to bring light and awareness of lots of things I've gone through.
I know you are not ego driven and I wouldn't insult you by making sycophantic remarks to blow smoke up your derrier 🤪 But I couldn't stop myself from sharing this with you, to make you aware of the enormity of how you are impacting me. I'd like to think there are more people out there who feel the same way, who are reading the books and learning some of the key aspects of the spiritual path to understand it and avoid some predictable pitfalls and traps.
They might just be reluctant to share for whatever reasons, but I'd be very surprised if few of your viewers are not reading the gems you suggest.
If anyone else sees this comment and doesn't think they need the books, or can't make the effort and commitment to investing in such valuable material, it might be worth reflecting on the reasons for not working with any book recommendations. I can vouch 100% that from one book alone, these suggestions are priceless.
Jordan, you have my deepest respect and gratitude for the time and personal work you had to go through, to be able to share your findings. There's so much garbage out there especially with the whole new age-ey nonsense.
Jordan is saving lots of time and attention to provide top notch guidance from some seriously advanced spiritual/ psychological practitioners and writers.
It strikes me as disrespectful of the work and an apathetic attitude to not be bothered.
This isn't coming from a place of judgement, but a genuine desire for whoever values Jordan and this channel to fully immerse themselves in these teachings and books.
It's too easy to read short bitesized articles or listen to a few TH-cam videos, but anyone who is serious about their growth, spiritual progression and their mental health should be able to recognise how much there actually is to learn and comprehend.
We don't have the luxury of coming from a shamanic community where there was so much support and wisdom from the elders to support the process.
Most of us can't just abscond and join a monastery to protect oneself from external influences and have clearer rules to be more conducive to the healing process without the harshness of the external world.
It's rare to find exceptional individuals who are qualified medical professionals/ psychologists to support any mental health states that accompany certain stages AND an understanding of the spiritual path to provide an integrated support system. There's a great need for a more transpersonal psychological framework or approach towards being capable of assisting someone who is stuck in a key stage in the awakening process.
Most of us are literally on our own for whatever reasons, without having access to the necessary and adequate care to avoid getting into serious psychological trouble or be able to make sense of what's going on with us on every level.
It's even worse trying to do this work if you lack any support or acceptance in your life, where you are viewed as unhinged and not taken seriously when you really need to feel safe and nurtured.
This is why your content is so unique and valuable Jordan, and you are providing the best source of guidance and support that one could hope for, who may be in the midst of feeling lost, disillusioned and tangled up with too much overwhelming processes happening all at once.
The new age and various ideologies promoted by false and delusional figures paint such a rosy picture of the spiritual journey, when this total bulls#hit. Most of us have endured inconceivable emotional pain through working through our wounding and traumas and it can be relentless. This is the content that is absolutely crucial right now to face the times we are living in.
Sorry that ended up being more of an epic ramble than I hoped 🥴 I'm just off to listen to your video now so I can jot down more books and get back into my current book you have shared 📚.
Thank you so much, you are so generous and kind.
Keep up the good work as you have been blessed with many gifts for service work that are vital for this epoch in time 🌸🕊️
"If anyone else sees this comment and doesn't think they need the books, or can't make the effort and commitment to investing in such valuable material, it might be worth reflecting on the reasons for not working with any book recommendations. I can vouch 100% that from one book alone, these suggestions are priceless." - this particular line of your stands out to me, and I appreciate your support here.
Thank you for taking the time to write such an extensive comment, it means a lot to me and I wish you well for your next year ahead.
thank you, love you! yes these spaces are highly frustrating but I also believe these videos have a way of finding the right people at the right time. like it found me today
Welcome! Enjoy the channel and the endless books hahah
Thank god Ijust stumbled on this channel as a way to gain in-depth knowledge on psychology. I am going to enjoy going through this channel...
Welcome, check out the shadow work playlist if you want a great starting point. Or my 24 books for 2024 which I posted in January… have fun and welcome again.
Oh and I like you’re honesty regarding how you are feeling about the video
You operate in a totally different level jordan! I look up to you, thank you for what you are doing⭐️
Warm compliment, thank you - enjoy your new reading lists!
Thanks Jordan. A lot of time and energy went into this video. Appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it! Keep stacking the shelves 🌲
You should definitely start an ASMR channel, your voice is a golden nugget, absolutely love it ❤
Hello Jordan, I recently came across your channel and wanted to say I really appreciate your content and book recommendations. The quality of curation is excellent, and I appreciate the incredible volume of books you've read and you generously share your best insights with others.
I've always had a strong draw to do Inner Work and Shadow Work, but never came across the right "language" or resources to get started. You have illuminated a path for me to elevate my consciousness and be a better more integrated person. 2023 I will make a focused effort to start on some prior book recommendations from other videos - I've purchased several books and look forward to reading them.
I would love to hear a bit more about your reading and note taking process, or if covered in other videos I will watch them in due time. Hope you are well and thank you for your excellent work, I look forward to more of your videos. All the best and best regards!
I've screenshotted your question as will likely release a video titled "How to Read More & Remember It All in 2023" or something like that - probably in a few weeks, thanks for the inspiration, Christopher!
@@jordanthornton Thank you for your reply Jordan, I look forward to reading the books and more of your videos. To read 180 books a year is unheard of, and to be able to talk about it is another level of achievement still. Your discipline in reading and study is inspiring and something I very much admire.
Your videos are never unforgettable. Thanks for all you do. All this free content is so appreciated. You have already helped me heal in so many ways. ❤
I'm wishing you the absolute best with this process ahead - keep at it this year!
You're an awesome human! Thank you for your service and devotion. Its not much but let me give this back: You're causing positive change in people you will never even meet once in your life and that is nothing short of beautiful!
Cheers, Steve. It's a pleasure to be helping out in this important space.
Great suggestions, bought several, Jung and Reich …. I can’t wait to read it, saved the rest to my shopping list! Thank you for doing this!
Have they arrived yet? 👀
I'm just now starting chapter 7 of Jung's Map of the Soul, and I can't thank you enough for the recommendation. It's been the most challenging and rewarding thing I've ever read, having only read one psychology book prior.
Glad that I keep recommending it - great to hear of your progress. I hope you're ready for the dozens of books which await you on this inner work journey hahah
10:17...and 10 more! Hahaha I loved this video. I was typing up the books I've purchased from your channel as I watched it 🙃. I'll send it to you for next session
Little surprise, hey? 😉 Looking forward to our session and a 2023 full of reading and articulation 🌲
Thank you for your recommendations! Like an Artemis I can now point my arrow on a worthy read and not get lost in the forests of endless pages.
Beautifully said - this is exactly my intention.
You are great at what you do. I sense that you need to receive this message right now in your journey. Believe wholeheartedly in what you bring to the world because it is making a difference and I know you will let go of your fears and be a beacon of light from this day forward. Fully powerful and uninhibited as your unapologetic true self which is truly glorious.
Thank you, received.
INFJ here. Love the description of your channel and the content you're uploading. Thanks. Digging into it. ❤
Welcome, it's a great time for us to get connected - check out the shadow work playlist. Solid place to dive deep with reading and exercises!
Thank you so much and I will certainly be buying a few of these recommended 🙏💚
Please do! They are GOLD.
Thank you. I am grateful you decided to share this content.
Excellent video. Thankyou so much for taking the time to share your recommendations, this is extremely valuable to people. Much gratitude!!
Glad it was helpful, happy reading!
You make me laugh! And in all seriousness, Thank you for the great book recommendations! All but a few, are new to me.
Wouldn't be gold if they were common! Love this attitude, Sarah - happy reading!
I love psychology, a few months back ,i stumbled upon the works of Car Jung, and found no way back.
I was indeed 🔍 for these types of books.
Thanks ..
Awesome selection. Cant wait to tear through these 2024
Yes brother - and I've got a 24 book video released recently for a more sophisticated take on this same video. Check it out and good luck!
Another great video Jordan, love your work. Hope you had a good Christmas and have a great 2023. Love from Australia.
Much appreciation, Kane. Happy Reading for 2023!
Thank you for the list. Am looking to get into psychology for my majors and this is incredibly helpful.
Good luck with your studies, but please be wary that the majority of books I recommend on this channel won't be covered in most BA or MA programmes - they tend to be more scientifically focused with modalities like CBT or general works. Still very rewarding, but this channel is primarily transpersonal psychology, jungian psychology, somatic psychology and humanistic psychology. Enjoy the research ahead.
Nice one for slogging through and finding some gems to share, beautkful stuff. Very much appreciated 👊❤️ thankyou
Cheers! Enjoy the new books!
Thank you for the recommendations! These are exactly the type of books I was looking for.
You'll love my latest video with 24 books for 2024 too - check it out!
Thank you for this list. I already ordered a few and started reading two. I hope there is k e for 2023. I am going to check!
Better yet, I just released a video with 24 books for 2024 - that's the place to look!
Thanks for the books stack, some of the books I have been looking ,well especially the 1st 3 books. Please keep up the good work
Thanks for being here, welcome and enjoy the channel - plenty more to come 📚
I had been taking a break from my psychology studies for a long time and was looking for reading suggestions. Now I will watch the video again by taking notes, I saw the channel for the first time but I feel it will be helpful. I'm thinking of returning and editing the comment as I read it!
Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing new comments from you on new videos as you continue to dive back into studies!
🙏🕉 , dhyanwad (thank you) , a very happy new year ahead 2024
I gotta say I'm in love with your voice.
I loved your passion , your content was rich and indeed high quality, I was just scrolling in search bof a recommendation , as a beginner and found , I would like to to review your content ❤
Not interested in psychology much, but damn is your voice insanely cool

Pleasure to calm, enjoy the books!
Thanks. Going to start on these. Thanks for filtering for us!
Appreciate you, and hope you enjoy the videos here!
We have such similar tastes and interests so i know that each book you mentioned are going to be right up my alley. I very much appreciate this video...actually all of your videos.
Hope you enjoy it - 2023 is going to be excellent, Lindsay.
so far, I have two of Marion Woodman's books, The Pregnant Virgin and Addiction to Perfection. I'm going through the second one now. There's three others that weren't mentioned in this video but I plan on reading next: Hands of Light by Barbara Ann Brennan, Soul Centered Astrology by Alan Oken and Transcendent Sex by Jenny Wade (we'll see what I think of the last one). I can read through those first and then maybe make my way through the stacks you mentioned here. Thanks Jordan, and Hapy New Year!
Excellent choices, Diane! Let me know what you think.
Love from India. More power to you mate!!
Grateful this video was recommended to me . Thank you for this video.
Happy to be helpful - some great advanced reads here, check out my latest shadow work playlist which I uploaded this week. Got a three hour crash course available for you and six more solid books to put on your bookshelf. You'll love it.
First off the tone of your voice is lulling me to rest which I need. In a good way. You could read poetry.I'll come back 😻
Welcome and enjoy the books!
I love Erich Fromm, I've read most of what he's written, his shares his ideas in ordinary and compelling language.
Thank you Jordan. I am a Psychologist, and this is helpful!
Thanks for the work you do! ✌🏻 Check out the recent 24 books for 2024 posted in Jan if you want even more golden bookshelf material
Thank you soooooo much dear Soul, love your authenticity, hope to be able to take sessions with you some day ✨❤✨ Blessings🙏
Love your work & voicc frequency🙏
Jordan...even though you were so frustrated by the end of this video...I just wanted to say thank you...for the time spent..because I very much take you seriously and I plan on delving into my own shadow during the month of September (2024) starting with Healing the child within, ( arrives in the mail this Friday 😁) and Trauma and the Soul. Your passion for understanding our nature as human beings, and wanting to rise above the bullshit that our childhoods dropped in our laps...has given me the courage to finally face my shadow (soberly I might add) and hopefully...help be the change the world needs at this time ❤ So once again...I truly appreciate all you do. Please know , it means so much!
Serena, thank you for being here. Reading comments like yours renews my faith - stay steady in your studies.
Thank you. Knowledge = wealth
Absolutely my pleasure 🌲
bro, 41 seconds in and i loved you already, omg
Welcome, and enjoy the channel!
SIR your voice is dark psychology!!! 😊
If this is your real voice, its divine!
It's actually AI.
Just found out your channel. And i have not even finish my first video of you (which is this one). But the content and production of this video is amazing. Also your voice is the Most pleasant voice i’ve ever listened from men. Exciting to see those videos ❤
You'll love the new videos, they're much better! Welcome and feel free to check out the shadow work playlist, it's got my best work and many more books for you.
Thank you
Great vid. Thanks for the value man
You bet - happy reading in 2023!
What a gift you and your Channel is.
I am so thrilled to have found it.
I'm not sure if you have read or covered "Reality Surfing" but I've only just delved into it and it's "Mind Boggling".
Thank You again : Grateful Old Aussie.
Welcome, and yes - I hope you enjoy the many books here. Check out the latest 24 books for 2024 video, out a couple months back!
Shall do: and thank You again.
❤
It seems you shared my childhood dream to do as the children did in "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" (except in a library and not a museum)... I think I still might move in to a closet full of books and try to catch-up with you! Thank you for your great insights and recommendations 🌻
Thank you so much for you recommendations will read for 2023❤
That's what I love to hear, thank you and good luck with your 2023 research!
Hey there, I just wanted to express my gratitude for this incredible video. It miraculously popped up in my TH-cam recommendations (thank you universe), and based on your suggestion, I decided to dive into James Hollis' "Eden Project" as my next read. Let me tell you, it's been an absolute revelation. I can't remember the last time I was so engrossed in a book; it's like rediscovering the magic of reading all over again. I find myself constantly reaching for my pen to underline passages that resonate deeply with me, and Hollis' language has a way of captivating both my intellect and my emotions. His insights into spirituality and the intricacies of relationships evoke a sense of reverence in me that I haven't felt in ages. So, thank you once again for sharing such invaluable gems with us.
Brother, I'm happy to have you here - you'll love my recent '24 books for 2024' video, uploaded a month ago. It's even better than this one, and will keep the insights coming. Keep stacking the shelves - here to help!
Thank you ❤️ My Buddhist teacher and dear friend sent me a link to this video. Please know that one of the wisest, kindest, gentlest people I’ve ever known obviously valued what you’ve done here, and sent me the link. And my first thought when I started listening is to get a few of those books, and to send this link to my daughter. She’s doing her PhD about mental health policies for children and teenagers. I’m certain she’ll be as excited about your book recommendations as I am. And again, thanks 😊
Excellent story to read, thanks for taking the time to share and wishing you and your family the absolute best 🌲
Thank you so much for your invaluable shares of wisdom🙏🏿
You are so welcome.
I'm Taking it I promise!
All the love S.
Happy reading!
Simple and helpful. Thank you.
Many thanks for this, Jordan Thornton. I confess a bit of surprise that you haven't cited a single work by the late Robert A. Johnson. His "Owning Your Own Shadow" is very fine indeed, as is his own "Inner Work." But I will certainly hasten myself to our local libraries to check out these others. Again, thank you.
I've read six or seven of his books, but not in 2022 so that's why they didn't appear in this video. He's excellent, I agree.
I am, first time on this channel. I must say you have beautiful eyes with a charm and truth. Love from india❤
Wishing you well with your reading process - keep at it.
