![24 Rare Psychology Books For Health, Wealth & Relationships In 2024 - Inner Work Library [116/500]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/R5frA5DndjM/mqdefault.jpg)
*1-1 Mentorship Information: Price & Structure (Maximum Capacity = 20 Clients Per Year)*
It's an absolute pleasure to film these TH-cam videos, and I feel fortunate to receive an abundance of meaningful messages every week, but I am unfortunately faced with the disappointing reality of turning away the vast majority of people who want to work together.
I have significantly limited availability and can only support twenty people per year because I do not offer one-off calls or drop-in consulting sessions.
Twenty individuals might not sound like maximum capacity, but the last few years of teaching have taught me the importance of maintaining tight energetic boundaries if I want to keep uploading these free videos in addition to serving my current clients to the best of my ability in 2024.
To minimise confusion and enhance transparency, I've spent several hours writing this ridiculously long comment to help you decide if my Inner Work Mentorship is the right choice for your development & what you could reasonably expect from working closely together.
Please take the time to read this service description before contacting me on Instagram… or feel free to stop reading right now if you’re not interested in my fees, session structure, client expectations, etc.
...
*READ BEFORE SCROLLING FURTHER:*
I'm interested in long-term change and structural transformation, which is why I've never offered one-off sessions.
Complex issues cannot be resolved in a few hours, but we likewise need to define an upper limit for containment and collaboration.
I've learned that deep and enduring self-integration requires at least four months of immersive effort. Why four months? It's enough weekly contact for us to work through multiple complex issues and developmental possibilities, but short enough to mitigate against unconscious co-dependency and motivational stagnation.
I'm currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month - message me after reading the following section to check my availability.
...
*HOW I WORK & WHO I WORK WITH*
Unlike other coaches and teachers who take an understandably more relaxed approach to healing and integration, my mentorships are characteristically intense.
This is a highly-demanding, high-investment process which requires our consistent combined effort over a period of four months.
If we were to start working together, I would reasonably expect you to be excited to show up for a minimum of 10+ hours of self-motivated transformative practice per week (daily reading, fitness routine, creative exercises, spiritual reflection, etc.) while also maintaining full-sobriety (no drink, no drugs, no cigarettes, no vapes).
These strict standards of discipline and sobriety are plainly unsuitable for most people in most situations - even genuinely motivated individuals who resonate with my TH-cam videos may not be the right match for four months of structured mentorship.
If you want to get deeper, I've noticed that there's a certain type of ‘temperament' & 'timing’ to get the most out of me.
I'm interested in alert, creative and purpose-driven individuals who aspire to exceptional standards of self-maturation and would enjoy the feeling of going through week-on-week of progressively stacked transformative experiences for a third of a year: my ideal client is somebody who is willing to bring forward their internal complexity with a sense of courage and transparency with the intention of nothing less than full-spectrum transformation & rapid acceleration on their personal path.
I am yet to discover another supportive figure who offers something comparable to this mentorship: a four-month, structured yet flexible 1-1 container which is simultaneously therapeutic, academic and action-oriented; with primary focus placed on tangible improvements in your felt sense of self-knowledge and self-integration; in addition to making consistent and meaningful progress towards your unique goals and mentorship aspirations.
I prioritise contact, compassion and accountability, which means that your work never really 'ends' at the end of your session. You can reasonably expect to be fed dozens of customised reading suggestions and follow-on perspectives outside of the formal sessions via friendly and informal messenger contact, where I am active and available four days per week to cultivate an intimate personal connection while likewise enhancing your positive momentum via accountability check-ins and additional support as required.
By way of conclusion for what feels like an extraordinarily long comment and service description, I feel compelled to once more emphasise that working directly with me is unrealistic for most people in most situations.
I often support people who are accustomed to wrestling with the emotional challenges associated with working through complex wounds in previous therapeutic relationships before we begin our coaching work together. Even individuals without 'hard trauma' can expect moments of pressurised darkness and heaviness during periods of shadow contact as you begin to restructure your personal unconscious. We will be exploring your psyche and soma at scale and depth, and it will be your responsibility to keep me informed about the emotional texture of your internal reality, especially if you encounter negatively charged experiences, and I will of course do everything in my power to support you through the hard times as we integrate the darkness and move forwards together.
TH-cam is a wonderful place for me to share free research resources and offer accessible inner work invitations; my private mentorships, however, are the place for collaborative partnership and emotional security as we identify, navigate and restructure oftentimes confronting and challenging conscious and unconscious physical, emotional and mental material.
Ultimately, this is a highly-demanding but highly-rewarding process which requires the best of our shared intentions.
...
*SESSION STRUCTURE & FEES:*
The total fee for an Inner Work Mentorship (including 12 x 2 hr sessions) is £7,400 GBP or approximately $9,400 USD. This is my only coaching programme, and my mentorship pricing is liable to adjustment over time.
Each private session lasts two hours, and is facilitated via Telegram video call at an ideal time for both of us. Your mentorship extends over a linear four-month period, with a total of twenty-four hours of structured session time, in addition to four days per week of unlimited messenger availability for accountability updates, voice note exchanges and informal calls upon occasion. I do not work on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays, but I am fully-available across all timezones for regular calls and messenger contact on Thursday - Sunday.
If you’ve scrolled this far, and resonate with what I’m offering, I invite you to message me on Instagram. It would be my pleasure to start exploring your goals and intentions in real-time.
IMPORTANT: I am an intentionally independent coach, and not a licensed therapist or associated with any professional bodies or coaching institutions, and therefore enjoy the freedom to collaborate with my clients across all areas of life in an intimate, direct and highly involved coaching style. I work with no more than twenty people per year, and am currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month. I also manage my own inbox and do not use automated systems or employ people to pretend to be me on Instagram, which means that it usually takes four to six weeks for me to respond to new messages and begin the interview process. Although my approach takes time, I hope you ultimately appreciate my personal emphasis on authentic and confidential communication from the very beginning of our relationship. I once again encourage you to message me immediately if you want to start working together within the next two months - bump yourself to the top of my inbox, and I’ll send you some voice notes to get our conversation started.
I am interested for my son
Omg you're so valuable, like a rare diamond, you can't imagine how thankful I am for the work you're doing.
It's my pleasure to be bringing the gold - keep going deeper into the books, you got this.
Thank you for the reading list, Jordan. I love that you're helping me grow.
Ten golden books - enjoy!
Your eagerness and frustration can be felt through the screen :) Thank you for distilling and sharing this list. It's so appreciated.
It's an absolute privilege and pleasure to know your favourites!
Already got the Trauma Healing stack from previous videos of yours, now going to explore the other 6 books. Can't wait!
And thank YOU for synthesising this, I'm deeply grateful for your work Jordan.
Gotta get more people reading, thank you as always for your attention, Linda!
I can hear the sincerity in your voice when you say “please just buy these books”. I can tell how much helping people means to you. Can’t wait for mine to arrive. Thank you for the recommendations.
Absolutely, these books are gold and I wish more people knew about them.
I find your approach and dedication inspiring as I have yet to come to this intent and intense way of studying.
Thank you, Lora. Hope this helps - enjoy the new books!
Just had to comment. I just found your channel, liked and subscribed. I am going back to work the end of this month as a Hospice Social worker. I have been out of work since my husband of 42 years died five years ago. When I was able to focus enough to read, I have focused on spirituality growth. I’ve also just been introduced with Logotherapy, or existential therapy that Vicktor Frankl discussed. It’s great that I finally feel able to go back to work and believe I can help people in hospice.
Thank you for your recommendations, I will be adding them to my list and will probably begin with spirituality area, although the trauma books also piqued my interest, given the recent years.
Victoria
Your channel is highly underrated. I'll follow your videos. Keep up the great work. I listed all the books you've mentioned.
Excellent - I appreciate this. Enjoy your next studies, Niko!
Just came to comment (as I'm reading the primal wound) how absolutely transformational The Primal Wound has been to myself as a training psychotherapist. Over half-way through and I am already projecting it will be the greatest book I've ever read, period. Thank you for all you do Jordan!
You got this - stay consistent and keep sharing for people with intention.
@@jordanthornton Thanks so much!
No matter how many books I read, I still get some good insights from your videos :D
Thank you!
Always here to help!
Facing the dragon description blew my mind. I'm gonna read it. Even the picture on the cover relates to something I have seen in one of my "unusual experiences". I believe, it relates to Divine Mania topic.
For sure - you'll love it.
Just found this channel by coincidence. It's a gem! Thanks!
Perfect time to find me - and I just released a new 24 book video for you to dive into. Wishing you the best for 2024!
Thanks for the recommendations Jordan! I’ve been a subscriber for a little while, and I’ve been meaning to comment and share some appreciation. I’m very grateful for the depths you go to when it comes to inner work and insights you share in your videos. I wanted to say thank you for introducing me to Alexander Lowen. I don’t have all the books you have recommended from him (just yet!). But when I first read through a copy of Bioenergetics, my mind was sufficiently blown. It gave me a framework I didn’t know I was missing on how the body adapts to trauma. I came across Alice Bailey a week ago, was about to purchase this book, but didn’t. So I’m seeing this video as a confirmation that I should go ahead and try it so I ordered the treatise on white magic, and two books by Ken Wilber, a brief history of everything and the eye of spirit. I’m excited about digging into these and about the upcoming course next year!
Only seeing your comment now, apologies for delay and thank you for taking the time to not only write such a thoughtful comment but actually be doing the work of going deeper with your studies. I'm happy to here this, truly.
@@jordanthornton thanks for the support Jordan! that means a lot!
Hi! Thank you for sharing all these wonderfull books. My favorite thus far is The Courage to Be Disliked- by Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga, based on adlerian psychology. Esoteric writings- The Red Book- Carl Jung and Corpus Hermeticum- Hermes Tris Megistus (of course, all of these because of my interest in these kind of topics). It's hard to pick up just a few. The hundreds of books read before have opened our perception to be able to understand the top 2%. First, we go through the experiences of life. Second, we develop our vocabulary (reading all sorts of books and doing all sorts of practices), then we study large concepts.... all to reach the pinnacle of getting the gnosis/knowledge, after applying directly all we have ever studied.
Great comment - some gems here. P.S: Just clicked on your channel and realised that you've got many great videos yourself!
I wanted to come in here and say the most interesting so far was The Primal Wound, but that would not be fair as I had not read the other ones yet! :p
Thank you for your effort Jordan, I appreciate everything you do for us and look forward to all of your videos, even though I don’t always leave a comment! 🌹
truly appreciate your attention and continual engagement - enjoy the new books!
Great video, merci 💙
You’re most welcome - which books stood out to you?
Already picked up “trauma and the soul” which I’m really enjoying. Picked up Alice Bailey and facing the dragon. Thanks for your recommendations Jordan. Fantastic video. 😊
Get ready for the Alice Bailey deep dive - it’s high level, great combination with Facing The Dragon - good luck, Jim 🌲
Great video. Love your review of books. I have "the Primal Wound" and this book is amazing. After doing inner work for 7 years, I experienced a kundalini awakening with a profound numinous encounter. Then 22 years of purgation. At the bottom of my psyche, I encountered the primal wound...what is called the Vishnu Granthi in the Yogic traditions. It's like a black hole of suffering and non being at the bottom of the psyche. Underneath this wound is the Pearl of Great Price.
I had a kundalini awakening too….. I didn’t know why I had it though. What is the pearl of great price?
Thanks for this I've read primal wound a few times now as studying psychosynthesis counselling embarking a career change after 20 years in corporate. Your videos are super helpful I'm intrigued by the Moore book will be adding to my list including the others of-course 👏
Enjoy your studies, excellent path.
Thank you jordan ... it was useful.
You're welcome! Happy reading 📚
Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤
Thank you Jordan. You are a living annotated bibliography 🤓
That's what I identify as on passports - all part of the plan hahah
Thanks, you are hard worker and great role model. 👍👏
Cheers, will keep doing my best this year.
Facing the dragon book speaks to me like lightning bolt⚡🐉! I have had ever since my traumatic experience with my ex dragon related dreams. Some dragons (they do have different colors in my dreams) are really pointing to creative expression and I have got feeling that the dragon could be telling me that I am getting more into my powers. Some dragon dreams are scary to me where the black dragon for example first comes visible from windy autumn leaves in the air, then hit his head to window at airport trying to get to me and to my son, then shapeshifts to a fly entering to my home from a key hole and then coming to my ear to say let me in like wanting to get in my head! I answered in that dream clear no and woke up very scared. I wonder what these dragon dreams are about but this dragon book is for sure very intriguing and I look forward reading it. Thank you 🙏
Excellent choice! You’re going to love it 🐉
Thank you so much for sharing this list!!!!! Wow!!!!!!! Trauma and the Soul and a handful Alice Bailey works are now on their way to me. (Thriftbooks and slugbooks are my go-to's to anyone looking to buy these books!)
Slugbooks - hope they have decent delivery times 🐌
@@jordanthornton 😂
Trauma and the Soul /IFS Second Edition are maybe two of the most important books I've read in years. Awesome to see them in the top ten. I don't think I really understood what "healing" even really meant or what was possible until engaging with these two. Check 'em out!
As always thanks for your work, Jordan!
I cannot agree with you more! They are gold, Charlie 🌲
I will bloody hell read about the dragon as they have been a quite tough teacher for me the last two years (anger management, breathing techniques, history lessons, or even a mental fortitude test with ripping the energetic body apart etc). Sitting at the point where the veil is thin is not a pleasant experience on a day to day basis. Thank you so much for the recommendation. I was going to purchase books from the other video but im going to start with this stack starting with facing the dragon.
I'll be back for your mentorship program when im done with the homework!
It sounds like you’ve been on a real journey recently, and likewise learning some important lessons along the way. I’m glad to have connected at this time and know these books will really help - will be here when the timing is right 🌲
@@jordanthornton not to try to continue a conversation but thought I'd leave a comment to share if anyone is interested.
I'm reading chapter 1:
Psylocybin work can be very intense besides the dragon entities... I've experienced being burnt on a stake, buried alive as a sacrifice for rain with others, almost was choke to death on an alter, several trials including blamed for human evolution, creating polymer/plastics, endless renewal of "appliances" that polute the earth, luxury industry and their material sourcing practices, imprisonment in a rock cell etc. the word scapegoat and ritual sacrificial victimhood is very much alive in our consciousness and it's a painful thing.
Awesome man thank you for the fantastic recommendations, a few book in here I hadn’t heard of that I put on my list.
I’ll again recommend The Journey of Soul Initiation by Plotkin, and also a fantastic book on insight meditation and Buddhism called The Seeing That Frees by Rob Burbea. Check them out I think they would both make this list.
Ordered them both just now - thank you for reminding me of Plotkin, and this new book too! If I hold either of them up in future videos, then you’ll know where they came from! 😂
i am sixteen and my study stream is maths and phy, chem. but i have a desire of pursuing psychology, human brain and everything. also to re-build my life apart from the personality i created because of my parents. i wish to re- parent my brain, your suggestions are absolute gold! i have started reading them pdfs and i want to just say i appreciate your work helping us out
Thanks for being here, and well done on prioritising this work at sixteen. I likewise started taking self development seriously at your age, and it was the best choice I ever made. Clean diet, good training habits, and a healthy mental appetite!
400 books!? Oh mama mía!! When do you sleep??? 😂 Thank you so much for your discipline, It is our goal to be responsable to learn as much as we can. Keeping the faith must be glued to wisdom. I Will read facing the 🐉
To answer your question about what books are most interesting to your audience I will say that I’ve already read IFS 2ed and really benefited from it and I am most interested in a treatise on white magic, but I’d like to check out Ken Wilbur’s book. I’ve been dragging my feet on tackling Wilbur because his diagrams are intimidating and I don’t know if I can get past the highly rigid and complex structure of his ideas (worried it’s not approachable and interesting enough to hold my attention which has suffered a bit since grad school). I really appreciate your time and effort in putting together this list, which must have been challenging to make 🙏🏻
Trying to choose a top ten was hard, and I’m not sure if this is my true ‘top 2%’ but the good news is that the main course I’m working on for 2024 will have my top 104 books 😉
Make the effort with Wilber, especially the book held up in the video - well worth it
@@jordanthornton thanks for the personal response and encouragement-I will give it a go
Great collection, thank you a lot. I'm already reading Lowen's "Fear of Life", the next ones will probably be "Integral Psychology" and "IFS". Also "Facing the Dragon" was interesting, as was the approach of transpersonal scientists to spirituality. I used to study spiritual teachers directly, especially Jiddu Krishnamurti. What do you think about the approach to the spirituality of such spiritual teachers, gurus, etc? I noticed that in your videos in the context of spirituality, almost only transpersonal psychologists are mentioned.
Excellent observation - I'll do a video on my explanation! Thank you and enjoy the reads - screenshotted!
Picked up Bailey and Lowen. I've been purging new age religion now for some time, but I will probably delve into that book as well. Thanks.
This is very much the kind of book you'll want to read - it's academic and masterful, very clarifying.
"The Enemy Within: Separation Theory and Voice Therapy" by Robert W. Firestone is the psychology book I have read and recommended the most. A hidden gem.
Thank you sir 🙏
Truly my pleasure, enjoy the books!
Thank you 💚🙏🏽
Any new books for you?
@@jordanthornton Actually, no. All these books and authors have been mentioned by you earlier.
However, I have not taken notes on the titles before.
1. Trauma and the Soul
2. The Voice of the Body Alexander
3. Internal Family Systems Therapy Robert
4. No Bad Parts - Richard
5. A Brief History of Everything Ken
6. Theory of Positive Disintegration - Dabrowski
7. The Living Classroom - Christopher
8. Facing the Dragon -Robert Moore
9. New Age Religion and Western Culture
10. A Treatise on White Magic - Alice
Since I have heard so much from you, I am eager to read:
1. Trauma and Soul
2. The Voice of the Body
3. A Brief History of Everything
4. The Living Classroom
5. A Treatise on White Magic
Thank you 💚😃
Trauma and the soul, the voice of the body, primal wound, facing the dragon and a treatise on white magic.
Thanks a lot for your research!!
Excellent choices, have you ordered your copies yet brother?
@@jordanthornton yes i ordered them , but stil waiting to receive them. I am now reading Jung' s map of the soul and it has given me some interesting insights.
Actually inner child healing is also important for me , so perhaps i will fill up the gap between trauma and bioenergetics by taking also a book regarding inner child healing.
But facing the dragon is a true must for me as i have spiritual bypassed the last 10 years of my life and that scares me a little.
Thank you Boss - starting with Alice Bailey.
Excellent choice! Enjoy 🌲
Facing the Dragon 🐉 Reading first as we are in the year of the Wood Dragon.
Theory of Positive Disintegration: You’re right I have never heard of him, but am glad he’s now in my field of awareness.
Then the Voice of the Body!
Great reads! Might even see them cross-connected on Amazon if you go searching - been seeing how the ai over there is being influenced by this channel hahaha
You’re right, The Voice of the Body and Facing the Dragon 🐉 were grouped together.
@@Andrea-Rose Very cool hahaha
You are the best 👌
Cheers, enjoy the stacks! 📚
Thanks!
Thanks for the support! Make sure to pick up these books too 🌲
Hey Jordan, with all the videos that you made which one would you say is the best entry to start learning from you? I will start reading the books you mentioned but I found your videos to be very good to learn as well
Look for my Inner Work Essentials 52/52 playlist - its a fully structured free course which took me almost a year to put together. It's right there on my channel in the playlists - watch them in order and you'll know the whole space!
@@jordanthornton thanks a lot dude! 🙏
Another Brilliant video, thank you Jordan! I’m going to go broke for buying books 😅
That's what we like to hear, Luke - but make sure to apply them too!
Reading all those psychology books would confuse me.
Only need to read these ten 😉
Read some good books until you absorb the knowledge
Why don't I follow my own advice 😂
I just ordered Facing The Dragon. I need this book, because I'm fucked in the head.
Looking forward to getting some of my blindspots revealed!
Thank you.
I’ve been reading the new primal scream. Absolutely great! Should I get the primal wound? They sound very similar .
Very different books, but both worth reading for healing perspectives! Primal scream is more body based, whereas the primal wound is more cognitive and 'spiritual'
Simultaneously reaching for my wallet and feeling more relaxed than ever.
You'll love these books, they're some of the absolute best.
Can you do a notion list that have all psychology books you read more than 600 and u make your top books in it you say they around 140 , that will be a positive contribution to the psychology community and an open library for anyone want to read and evolve, thank you
Thank you for your work!!
In terms of spiritual books try one from Lawrence Edwards called Awakening Kundalini. He’s a Jungian student but also had an awakening and is incredibly smart.
Thanks for sharing this - will check it out!
Thanks
Thank you for the support! Appreciated and I hope you enjoy the new boosk.
Have you ever considered creating a book club? Where we would read the books & and then there is some form of sharing or exchanging how we digested or perceived the information.
If you start a book club, I am joining! 🦉🦇
I’ve considered it many times, but the challenge is that there is such massive variability in people’s pace… some people need a month for a book, others read it in two days. It’s an issue, but I did my best in the shadow work library to solve this issue by making it self paced - will be expanding into a proper school & community in 2025, God willing.
That’s true. Synchronizing pace as a group is challenging.
I want to acknowledge the beauty of this video.
There is genuine joy radiating from your being when you describe these books. You reach for them seemingly with a sense of adoration. As you have devoured, digested and assimilated them, you have become to a certain degree the living transmission of their wisdom. The words, and the energy behind them are encapsulated in your body. They have literally ignited more life into your being, and I could still feel the potency of it almost a year later. That is magic.
Thank you for valuing yourself enough to participate so deeply in your own evolution. Thank you for contributing to stabilizing foundational layers of consciousness. Thank you for sharing your embodied wisdom. Thank you for caring. It’s extremely refreshing.
Blessed be sacred being. May the fruits of your labor ripen in optimal timing & and nourish you as you have nourished my life 🌻🐝🍋
How did you read all of these, work and live life? Amazing!
My work encourages reading! It's a nice blend between personal and professional development.
Can you recommend any decent books on somatic symptom disorder? The only one i found that is specifically for psychosomatic symptoms was John E Sarno - The Divided Mind. Then from there, i read David Berceli - The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process, Bessel van der Kolk - The Body Keeps The Score, and Robert Sapolsky - Behave.
I haven't got any specific books here, but my latest video on CPTSD might provide some value. Keep at it.
@@jordanthornton Thanks, i'll check it out. Last night i found a book by Suzanne O'Sullivan, called "It's All In Your Head". Its really good so far. Ive noted down a few of your book recommendations too that sounded interesting. Hopefully they are on audible! Cheers for replying.
Amazing recommendations! How do you read so many books? I wish I could focus myself to read at this pace…. I want to read all of these
I consider it my job, so it's easy to allocate the time - otherwise it's about keeping my phone off & away so I don't lose focus. You got this.
@@jordanthornton thanks man 🤝🏼
Thank you for paving the way for us. Do you want to one day write a book yourself? :)
Many, I’m sure.
your lighting specially the colour is too good. What do you use for the lighting?
Just a regular cheap soft box light from amazon with white setting at neutral, the colour pop comes from post production grading in da vinci resolve + the Sony A7sIII & 35mm - wishing you well!
Thank you for sharing your pure gold with us
🌲💎
What do you think of James Masterson and Otto Kernberg?
I don't know enough about either of them to comment, unfortunately.
Any thoughts on Rudolf Steiner?
I’ve read some of his works and spent some time living in an anthroposophy community in Germany - he’s got some great ideas, and I have particular appreciation for Waldorf schooling principles
any recommendations for book that finely explain about human mannerism and psychology ?
Not any focused books that I can think of, unfortunately. Tends to be scattered across different themes!
How do you manage to get through that many books when the average page count of this sort of material is high and the information is very dense? Any secret as such, or have you just slowly built up the sustained focus and speed to do that?
Screenshotted your question - will make another video on this! Got an answer to this one on my channel already though if you find it! Uploaded in last three months.
@@jordanthornton hey Jordan, yeah you absolutely did already respond to most of my question in that video. I thank you for making it and was moved in a way by your dedication to the material and how you have been able to tune out distractions to focus on what truly matters to you.
I would just add as a secondary thought that sometimes when one is suffering, neither ambition nor the suffering itself necessarily provide a sufficient motivation to begin the process. If resilience is down, or there’s too many stressors/life dissatisfactions, in my experience it becomes too much of a “distraction”. I mention it in case you would find that a worthwhile topic to address as well.
@@jordanthornton Just to clarify, I appreciated how simple your explanation was in the video you’ve already done on the subject, but if there was anything you thought relevant to add to the topic of reading/studying material, it would be of great interest. If I tried to read an inner work library, I believe at best I could get through a couple hundred books in 4 years, which is nice but a fraction of what you’ve been able to do, Jordan. I’m interested in how you achieved that (for instance the time you devoted to it) and how you could maintain focus even though I imagine you were not in an ideal position when this inner journey began.
@@wachenroder1959 My best suggestion is to simply have a compelling reason to read - we do things that we want to do, and I suppose I'm wired for enjoying books far more than the average person! Wishing you the best, and appreciate your thoughtful response.
@@jordanthornton Haha, yes that's a blessing. Thank you for taking your time to reply~
Bro how do you read so fast to read such a volume of books with good comprehension.
3/4 hours per day and not aiming for more than 10% comprehension on the first read. I'm lucky to reach 25% comprehension when re-reading the book and maybe 40% by the time I'm teaching it. Hope this helps.
📚 Hi Jordan, I found your channel today and this is the second of your videos I’ve watched. I came to the comments section to ask you to choose affiliate links for the books that came from online retailers other than Amazon, for those of us who are consciously choosing not to spend money there anymore. However, I could not even find affiliate links to the books in the description of your video. Are you not earning any money from reading and recommending all these books? Am I missing something? How can I purchase these books (other than on Amazon) and support the work that you’ve done at the same time?
The book I am choosing to read first is New Age Religion and Western Culture. It was the second most interesting book to me and it’s available from my library. It is in my holds queue.
I will buy A Treatise on White Magic by Alice Bailey.
Thank you for your work. 🙏🏻
I've never used affiliate links or desire to make any money from recommending books - it's against my ethics with this work. I'm happy to receive money for direct services or my own online course, but I trust adults to find books in their own way and wouldn't want to ever have 'secret strings' attached.
Otherwise, these are some great reading choices you've made - both high level!
@@jordanthornton 📚 That is a rather unique perspective. I look forward to watching more of your videos and reading more of the books you recommend. I’ve just watched the introduction to shadow work video and plan to continue with the shadow work course/playlist. I wish you success with your direct services and coaching. 🍀
9:00 “this book will help you to feel less….insane” 😆
Precisely, worth getting for that reason 👍

Appreciate you taking the time to comment and share

Excellent choice - triple treat!
