📚 A book that helped me was "Refuse to Choose" by Barbara Sher. She talks about people who have multiple/varied interests and can't seem to stick with things. She calls them "Scanners" and shows how we can accomplish goals and be successful (our own definition of success).
I just found you today, Carla and I can't stop watching your videos! Thank you so much for talking about your weight loss journey and inspiring me to try one more time. I went through the first part of my life being skinny, and could eat whatever I wanted without putting on weight. I am now in my sixties, and 100 pounds overweight. I would love to hear about other books you enjoy, as reading is such an important part of our lives.
Your video often brings me to tears because you are so real, and you reach to the deep core of the issue in a straightforward way. You communicate very effectively but with kindness and healing energy, which is so strong. I'm just grateful to hear your stories. I'm just very grateful.
Julia Cameron actually has a book called "The Writing Diet" which is basically just about using the morning pages to "write yourself right size." So what you did with morning pages is definitely something she has encountered before, which is interesting.
I’m definitely interested in the anger book. I’ve always buried my anger to the point that I’ve blown up at people when I’ve hit my breaking point. My anger scares me. I’ve found that setting boundaries has helped, but I still have trouble standing up for myself. 📚🖤
St Ignatius of Loyola's Rules for Discernment of Spirits are very helpful in identifying the voice that is not you. That negativity that doesn't come from you, but from the enemy. (book emoji! LOL)
Thank you for sharing. A series would be welcomed. I watch 3 of your videos. All smart & interesting. I like your expression, "Show up for yourself." Also, your clarity & honesty. I often place my hand over my heart chakra, as well as your belief that the saying things happen for a reason is not accurate. You are refreshing.
Wow that was a surprise seeing which book you talked about first. I have experienced that book as well. A very good comment you make about it not being imperative to completely finish reading a book in its entirety 🙂 thank you for sharing your insights
Thank you, i have added them to my bookwishlist. I adored the Artist’s Way, and got about 8 weeks completed a few years ago. The book that has sparked something inside me is Women, Food and God by Geneen Roth.
📗I thoroughly enjoyed your insight and reviews of these books! You definitely have the gift of being a phenomenal speaker and storyteller! Thank you for being so open to share what you have learned and I look forward to the day when your own book is published!
This was great. I'm looking forward to reading some of them. The book that changed my life is Melody Beattie, Co dependent no more. Talk about an eye opener. Brilliant.
📚📓 another great video. One book that really helped me was Positively Wealthy by Emma Mumford. There is a whole chapter in there about "the voice" which she calls your ego and you name your ego and learn how to deal with the negative self talk. It's all about creating a good and stable law of attraction routine and to be grateful. Thank you for the video xx
Carla thank you so much for that wonderful video! I read The Artists Way in March 2020 at the beginning of COVID19 and lockdown in South Africa, where I live. That book changed my life in so many ways. I religiously do Morning pages, but do often skip the artists date. I have discovered so much about my authentic self, my desires, my strengths and that I am enough for this life experience. Liberating!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🥰❤️❤️
I would love to hear more about how you’ve used manifestation and the law of attraction. I hope you will do a detailed video about this and other books 📖 ❤
Hmm I just found this video and I'm thinking of a full life change. I actually have the Artists Way on my shelf for years but have never read it. It's quite large so I've been to overwhelmed to read it. But I'm taking this video as a sign.
Will be getting all 4 books, especially the Dance of Anger. Growing up, I didn’t have any guidance when it came to expressing anger. Both of my parents were cruel and sometimes physical when they were angry. I absolutely didn’t want to be like them, so I swallowed my anger, and let it literally make me sick. I have never really read many “self help” books, probably because I didn’t want to face my demons. Therapy helped so much with that. Looking forward to more videos!📚📖📒Btw, I made the salad you mentioned awhile back, olives, black beans, feta cheese,etc, and l luuuuuuved it! I’ve made it every week since.
Carla, I think you’re truly amazing! I can’t stop watching your videos. I’m 63 now & have lost & gained my weight over & over, still trying to release the weight finally & forever. You must write a book! I’ve read many of the books you mention. Must get the “Solve for Happy”. Thank you Carla from 🇨🇦 xx
I went from crying (most of childhood) to eating/drinking my feels, to rage, to now - where very little sets me on edge. As with your own childhood, any expression of emotion, even the crying, was frowned upon, and trained out. It's been a long journey (I'm a bit (ha) older than you) ... and it took me many years to figure out that the only person I will ever be able to control is myself, and therefore, the expenditure of my own energy to worry about what anyone else says, does, or thinks of me is just a waste. I read The Dance of Anger many moons ago, and don't remember much of it, but I'm sure it was the first time I learned about my emotions. Thanks for being willing to share your own travels throughout this life!
📚📖📘 Excellent video!! Thank you, Carla 💜. Yes please, another video on Manifestation. Thank you SO much for mentioning how and why you prefer audibles. This will help me immensely!!
📕Thank you for another inspiring and heartfelt vlog…Someone said when you hear the negative and critical voice in your head, ask yourself who it sounds like. Almost always it is the voice of one of your parents 😅
Carla, great selection of book. For my creative writing, I read The Artist's Way many years ago, an excellent read. Also, Harriet Lerner's book I read in a Psychology course I took years ago, very insightful as well. Showing anger and being "perfect" is often drilled into women as we grow up, to take ownership of one's emotions is key to being a mature individual.
love this! 📚raised on alternative rock here: i can't be the only one who heard john lydon (public image ltd) in my head singing the lyrics "Anger is an energy" from "Rise" when you started talking about the Dance of Anger. You'll have to go back to the Artist's Way because I still take myself out on artist dates years after first reading her book. thank you for sharing your story! i look forward to your videos.
Thanks so much for such a thought provoking video. From your recommendation previously I started the morning pages . I look forward to reading the other books. Definitely more manifesting would be so good. You really are inspirational!
A book that changed my life is The Four Agreements. It gave me the insight to examine the things I took as "truth" in a new light and to realize the negative judgement voice is not ME. 📔 Your nails are so pretty! I love the green.
📚📖📒 Loved this video! Details of HOW and WHY is essential to progression. You're an inspiration! Thank you for sharing. 💟 The latest book I read/listened to, that made me think, was Freckles by Cecelia Ahern. Not a self-help book, but still managed to create questions about what and who are important in my life.
I absolutely love The Artist's Way! I was not expecting you to say that when I clicked on the video! I thought it would be some book on intuitive eating or something.
Isn't it amazing. I think when we think of weight loss we're looking to work on the symptom, not the cause. People often ask me for a therapist for binge eating or food addiction, but in some cases, it might be trauma therapy that we need for example. The artist's way helped me to connect with myself for the first time to realise, I was not connected to myself at all!!
I read Dance ofAnger many, many years ago and found it life-changing at the time. This video makes me want to go back and re-read it. I’m sure I will get something very different from it this time. I will also start doing my Morning pages again since that also was so helpful to me a few years back. Solve for Happy is now on my book list. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much for making this video and sharing your thoughts. I felt like I was meeting a friend I’ve not seen in years listening to you. You are one of the brightest souls on our earth. You are helping so many people, including myself. I can’t wait to read your writings one day and listen to your podcast with Mo Gawdat, I’m sure he would be so welcoming and fascinated to talk to you.
I love that you said we don’t have to finish a book- I’m always dipping in and out of books & also listen to audiobooks but buy the paperback of ones that are significant so I can make notes. I really like Shahroo Izadi, Janet Lansbury, Sue Black, Gabor Mate, Caitlin Doughty, Dana K White, Mel Robbins, Milli Hill… so many amazing people. They’re just off the top of my head.
Thank you so much. I have been watching and listening to your whole journey while walking and I needed to stop midway to get a few books on audible 😊❤ I love all your videos. You’re an inspiration. X
Thank you so much for this video. I have been meaning to make the time to start journaling and YOU are now going to be the catalyst that got me going. Picking up a pen and journal (that I bought 2 freaking years ago) right now. 📓
The book that’s changed my life is Atomic Habits by James Clear. I bought the ebook the same day I started my workout- everyday-for -one-year challenge. A challenge that I created myself. I’m 130 days in and down 15 lbs so far. I’ve lost some weight before but never kept it off. This time feels different. I think because my focus is on mental and physical health instead of how I look. Also making lifestyle habits instead of “white knuckling” through it, as you say.
Hi Carla, I love your videos 💗, your presence and way of thinking & talking are very inspiring! I'm looking forward for another video on book reviews and manifestation 📚
Just wow that review of that first book makes me want to read, listen, and write those daily pages as I really want to know myself. I also love audible. Think all these books will be on my future list. Thanks for this and yes more like this please ❤ 😊📖📚📓
I have some amazing books. 101 Essays Brianna Wiest. And a couple of her other books, which are incredible. After the Rain is an incredible book, Alexandra Elle, The child in you Stephanie Stahl. Some books i haven't finished either, but they served their purpose, what I needed at the time❤❤
I had to stop and start this video multiple times to search for the book you were recommending. A few of them I’ve already ordered. I would love for you to make a series out of this. Especially if it’s about negative selftalk and how to shut up that voice. ❤
📖 My favorite book and one that saved my life is not a self help book or even non fiction. I was going through a nervous breakdown from PTSD and had panic 24/7. I was in a horrible place but we had traveled for the funeral of my husband's nana. His whole family was in the house and I was upstairs nursing and trying to go to bed with my daughter. I was panicking so badly I had become convinced I would die in the night next to my daughter. But at the same time I couldn't go get anyone to help calm me because they were all grieving. I was so sad that I may die next to my daughter but then I got MAD. I was finally like, "FUCK YOU fear, if I'm going to die then go ahead and kill me when you are going to kill me. Until then I'm ignoring you and reading this book!"...I picked up DON QUIXOTE and this was the best and funniest book I've ever read. It calmed and cracked me up for weeks which helped me get out of an intense place and start healing. Any time I got really bad I decided to spend time with The Man from La Mancha. And I enjoyed it because when thoughts of panic came up, I told myself no and went back to reading. I could always get back to those bad things later. If this is read by anyone I know they will know who I am because they've heard me speak on the joy of this book. I'm sure we've all felt a bit quixotic before, especially on our weight loss and self love journeys. ❤
☕️📚Loved this video and am particularly interested in the manifestation book. Yes, I would love when you have the time/interest to do a video on your personal journey on manifesting. I also wanted to tell you that your talk in week 9 in Body Slims was incredibly powerful and touching and very helpful. This video was one of the highlights of the course. I will be sad when this course ends. Love you and Gerard. BTW - love your eyeshadow. :) Take care,. xoxo
📓 My favourite book is The curious incident of the dog in the nighttime by Mark Haddon. Read and re-read it. Currently reading Tamed by Glennon Doyle 📖
📚 I have read the first 2 chapters of Morning pages as well and currently do them, not as routinely as I should. Definitely going to check out the others
Thanks for these, definitely getting the creativity one and the one about anger. “B**d and son of a **”, I never noticed that before. In Untamed Glennon Doyle has a good analogy about females and keeping in emotions. More 📚 please!
Carla, I loved this video. I always appreciate book reviews and how they affect different people differently. It would be great to have you contine in detail about these books and any others you enjoy 📖😁
📘I have tried journaling in the past, but I am inspired to give it another try. I will definitely read Solve For Happy. Wish I could suggest a book but my mind is a complete blank right now. Thank you for the book suggestions 🥰
📖📚📙 So love listening to you Carla. I believe in the Law of Attraction and have read The Secret, will definitely be reading Manifest and Solve for Happy. Thank you Carla, would definitely love to see more about your manifestation journey xx
Loved this video. I don't think I've ever finished a book 📖 😅 🙃 ADD maybe some, I lose interest or can't concentrate or think, yea whatever, I can't do that. As now I'm 58 and losing my younger abilities to physically and mentally keep myself up.
📚📖 I've added your books to my audio book list. I don't listen to a lot of non fiction so I am interested to see how it sits with me. I've just finished Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett, part of the Discworld Series, and it's definitely a new favourite. Non fiction wise, I still have strong feelings about "The Pig That wants to be eaten" which is a bunch of thought experiments and analysis and it really helped me to bring more self awareness to why I think certain things are right and wrong, and forced me to analyse why I thought that and rethink some things.
📚 aside from God's living word found in the bible 1) living beyond your feelings! Helped me recover from my divorce 2) a spiritual life by Andrew Murray 3) pilgrims progress by John Bunyan
Just a thought…I would read a book called “Half of Carla”
Same ❤️❤️
@@katieosull63 for sure!
I just thought the same thing as audio book
Yesss
📚 A book that helped me was "Refuse to Choose" by Barbara Sher. She talks about people who have multiple/varied interests and can't seem to stick with things. She calls them "Scanners" and shows how we can accomplish goals and be successful (our own definition of success).
Ohh I must get this! Thank you!
Sounds like Adhd to me.....its a key indicator 😊
+1 for this! Also “The Renaissance Soul”
loved that book! what a fab lady she was

Dear Carla!
Yes please, would Definitely adore more content on Your Manifestation Journey ❤
You are my daily fix!
I would like to hear more as well!

No way!! I didn’t know that! I’ll have to read it, thank you for letting me know Natalie x

It's good. I read it 4 years ago and think I need to read our again.
@@msaijay1153 Agree. I read it a very long time ago. Might be time to give it another read.
St Ignatius of Loyola's Rules for Discernment of Spirits are very helpful in identifying the voice that is not you. That negativity that doesn't come from you, but from the enemy. (book emoji! LOL)
📔📖 This was a wonderful video and the first one of yours I have watched. Subscribed before 10 minutes went by! I cannot wait to watch all your others!
Awe thank you and come Beverly!
“Those who save us” was an amazing book for me
Oh I will have a look for it x
Going back and revisiting books is a great tip. I'm not the person I was 20 years ago, 40 years ago...
Thank you for sharing. A series would be welcomed. I watch 3 of your videos. All smart & interesting. I like your expression, "Show up for yourself." Also, your clarity & honesty.

The truths in the Bible helped me. Best selling book ever
Thank you, i have added them to my bookwishlist. I adored the Artist’s Way, and got about 8 weeks completed a few years ago. The book that has sparked something inside me is Women, Food and God by Geneen Roth.
I particularly like these “chatty” videos as you call them. I would happily listen 📚
Yes, please continue making videos about self development books. Love books since I was a little girl!!!
📗I thoroughly enjoyed your insight and reviews of these books! You definitely have the gift of being a phenomenal speaker and storyteller! Thank you for being so open to share what you have learned and I look forward to the day when your own book is published!
Thank you so much Michelle xx
@@HalfofCarla You're welcome!
I love that you are a “reader.” I love my books!!! Please continue to share good reads!!! Thank you.
This was great. I'm looking forward to reading some of them. The book that changed my life is Melody Beattie, Co dependent no more. Talk about an eye opener. Brilliant.
Co dependent no more is a great book! Life changing. I think I will reread that one. Boundaries is another amazing series.

📓 My favourite book is The curious incident of the dog in the nighttime by Mark Haddon. Read and re-read it. Currently reading Tamed by Glennon Doyle 📖
I saw mo in an interview,he is an amazing person , I must read the book
I'm banking weeks of videos so I can watch them over the Christmas break. Looking forward to this one 😀
📚 I have read the first 2 chapters of Morning pages as well and currently do them, not as routinely as I should. Definitely going to check out the others
Thanks for these, definitely getting the creativity one and the one about anger. “B**d and son of a **”, I never noticed that before. In Untamed Glennon Doyle has a good analogy about females and keeping in emotions. More 📚 please!
Yes, I've read The Dance of Anger. She also wrote a few other "Dance of..." books, btw. (Intimacy, Fear..) No doubt, worth a re-read.💝👍😎🇨🇦
I'll check them out thank you!!
Loved this, more please and yes video on manifesting too. Thank you. 📚
Thank You, Carla! This is so informative!
Carla, I loved this video. I always appreciate book reviews and how they affect different people differently. It would be great to have you contine in detail about these books and any others you enjoy 📖😁
📚 I would read your book! I hope that’s really in the works.

📘I have tried journaling in the past, but I am inspired to give it another try. I will definitely read Solve For Happy. Wish I could suggest a book but my mind is a complete blank right now. Thank you for the book suggestions 🥰
📖📚📙 So love listening to you Carla. I believe in the Law of Attraction and have read The Secret, will definitely be reading Manifest and Solve for Happy. Thank you Carla, would definitely love to see more about your manifestation journey xx
Loved this video. I don't think I've ever finished a book 📖 😅 🙃 ADD maybe some, I lose interest or can't concentrate or think, yea whatever, I can't do that. As now I'm 58 and losing my younger abilities to physically and mentally keep myself up.
Would love another of these videos :)
It’s coming xx
Thank you so much for the recommendations, books really can change our lives ❤🙌
📚📖 I've added your books to my audio book list. I don't listen to a lot of non fiction so I am interested to see how it sits with me. I've just finished Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett, part of the Discworld Series, and it's definitely a new favourite. Non fiction wise, I still have strong feelings about "The Pig That wants to be eaten" which is a bunch of thought experiments and analysis and it really helped me to bring more self awareness to why I think certain things are right and wrong, and forced me to analyse why I thought that and rethink some things.
📚More book talks, please.
"Without access to food". Yes.
Thanks so much for this! It was SOOOOO powerful!!!!
Yes please Carla, I’d love to hear more 😊
