OMG how sweet of you! You just didn't tell a handful of random books and leave, you even made notes for reading it out to us. I'm actually reminded of my English teacher in school. 😭 Amazing watch. It feels so warm seeing this. 🤗
I have been literally binge watching your videos it's so soul soothing, one of the books I would suggest is the conscience parent it literally changes our perspective on our authentic selves and how we raise children.
Iam 25 and haven't read any book after school. But after watching your video, I was able to break the resistance and started reading "Sapiens". I'm still reading but I'm enjoying as well. Thank you for breaking my 8 years of resistance to books. Your books are very relatable to me. I strongly suggest you to make more such book reviews. I will definitely try and read them
@@iamwithdhanyavarma Oh yess. Even i've suggested ur videos to lot of friends too. Thank u so much for introducing lot of inspiring personalities and redefining the meaning of Happiness through ur show. From Rajalekshmi to Uma Preman... there are lot of favourite episodes
I am a person who is stepping out of job for a break. Your way of explanation and talking do intrigue me to read those books and get back to my reading habits which I had left sometime back. Thank you for the video.

Goosebumps for me Dhanya! The moment when you've introduced "The God Delusion". I didn't expect that one from you!. Anyway happy to see that. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful books to the viewers.
@@iamwithdhanyavarma I've already shared this video to my friends. I'm a huge fan of your show "The happiness project". You are doing such an amazing work dear. It's just lifting up people who are dealing with hard times. Hats off dear. I like to invest more time in watching your talkshow. Keep doing.. more!! 🗣with lots of love 🤗💞
You carry yourself with such grace, it's so good to hear you speak. I have read Sapiens and loved it. It was my first non fiction venture but was really engaging read. His thoughts on patriarchy, religion and in general our species was enlightening.
I was running out of books and seeking suggestions of good books.. I got it from this video.. Just amazed by seeing the number of books got in to my list after watching the video and reading comments..!!. Thank you..!!🙂
All these books not just ignites us, but also makes us smarter. They come under the "Smart Books" category. This whole video was awesome, but the bonus part was the BEST.👏
Hi dhanya ...interesting video ..I will definitely see if I cud get hold of any of these books ..looks interesting but the electronic media stops me a lot ...rather than picking up a book I end up with my mobile ..will try out one. Can u suggest which one to start with ? Am not a so much into book reading ....but have that urge to read
I've read 1,4,5 and 6 in your list. Great selection. Thanks. Another great read for these times would be How not to die by Michael Greger. This can be called life saving book.
Have been an ardent fan of your work right from happiness project…😀keep going Chechi… Thanks for doing this video… reading use to be my favourite thing to do… but somehow I just can’t anymore… Don’t know how to get back to reading…do u have any suggestions???
I wanna say something that stuck my heart.innu njan happiness projectinte mashup kandu. I felt like you connect with the other person from your heart..Felt like you are malayalis Oprah Winfrey. It's such a bliss to have you.Thankyou Dhanya maam❤
Expecting more videos of this kind from you ma'am👌 love the way you put the whole thing. Be it the content for this channel/or the programmes through which you stayed connected with us, previously. Listening to you would just bringhten up my mind. Am a huge fan♥️
Thanks so much.... I have already ordered some of ur recommendations and waiting eagerly to read them Must appreciate ur perspectives of the books as well as the presentation
Hi Dhanya.. Awesome topic. I love Sapiens too. Can please do a video session on “Contemporary Casteism” in India. It’s beyond me that many educated individuals still adhere to archaic and heinous caste in marriage etc ( though caste was abolished in 1950’s in India). Why do educated Indians still give their kids “ Caste Surname” or keep their Caste name even in 21st century? How can Kerala and India become free from Caste.
Hello ma'am I'm a big fan of you and regular follower😍 lockdown is a kind of blessing because we can see the admiring persons like you in more time through this platform🥰, I'm also a literature postgraduate and ur selection of books are really amazing for everyone.all the best ma'am,👍 keep going❤️
What book(s) changed my life? We all must have seen/heard so many ans to that Q with lists of many books that they think you should read. Many of these are fairly predictable, being “Great Literature”, or conversely “How To…”. I am sure they are worthwhile, but not that they'd be life-changing..?! I'll be more personal. The book that most changed my life was my first Alphabet Book. It had a picture per page, illustrating the word that started with the letter one was learning. The last page was Z for Zebra. So I learned to READDD.! And life has never bedn the same ever. Reading has been one of the most amazing, transforming things along with a job tht took me places. Well read n well travelled -- an unbeatable combo. So The Alphabet Book - thts whats been life changing for me. No other.. Books that others write..life's that others live, don't change mine necessarily. How can it too... And reading is very SUBJECTIVE..and in so I'd refuse to make any recommendations. As to the 5 you bravely put out, save Simone's treatise all else are in my possession. Thousands of books await a permanent home ( that's been located ) I'm donating all ! Cheers Dhanya !
I have read sapiens, subtle art, bryson and delusion from your list..its a great list and i completely agree...absolutely thrilled to see that you share the same feeling about Bryson's book..yes its a most fascinating read and a must read.
I have read 3 among these 5.I would recommend "rich dad poor dad" in the first place. Coz it will be a life changing book especially for people those who are entering to their 20s
It's always a great book list if Richard Dawkins' is in there :-) . Great to see influencers like you get serious works of world's emminent authors out in front of your audience. Thank you ! As an aside, I didn't see any fictions in this list - to me the best self help books are some of the best in the world literature. Those are probes into our inner abstract world, like the non-fictions are to the physical world. Hope there will be such a list soon. Btw, you night know this already - Bill Bryson has authored some of the funniest travelogues of all time. Good ones especially for now when we're all stuck in our homes.
It's so tough to narrow down the best books one have read. But Dhanya mam did justice not just by narrowing it down precisely but also to share its most amazing content in a passionate manner.❤️
A huge fan of Mark Manson and his blogs. Happy to see his book recommended. I was a huge self-help junkie and reading his book threw me off at first, because it was nothing like the books I've read before. It changed my life, too.
There is one book which all of you can have a look. I read it recently and the content was really a surprise! The book is called Holy Cancer: How a Cow saved my life by Amit Vaidya. Somebody had recommended me this book which I never cared to even search for in the net because of my inherent biases. Anyway felt happy that I read it. It will definitely give you a fresh perspective.
Dhanyaji I am a follower that would be the right way to express myself... I would like to tell you that you are absolutely honest person unlike the other media people... You are sincere to the guests whoever approached you... It is truly difficult to handle people who come from different walks of life especially celebrities who might be cooperative, boasting, rude... But you are phenomenal, using your skill set by asking and listening to whatever they say and reciprocate it in a positive manner.... People like you are the real necessity who can spread happiness and hope. Best wishes for all your ventures. Last but important I will read the book you have referred and hope even I could inculcate some goodness like you... With lots of love and respect 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I always enjoy listening to you Dhanya. U indeed have explained all the books so well and the best part that made me stuck to the video, is your smile and ur emotions attached to each book, u narrated them so well. I was thinking of picking up a book myself as it's been long that I have read anything. And I like non fiction. Thank you so much! I am confused which one should I pick to start with. Want to read all 6 of them. To stat with I may go with the 5th one. I am going with your recommendations since i have seen you evolved and I love the person you have turned into. Though, I Don't know much about you, have hardly interacted via social media, but I remember the girl in the newsroom of mumbai and I see the girl taking interviews. I see a sense of maturity, calmness in you. U come across as a woman of substance to me! All the best for your life ahead! Thank you for this video. It really helped me pick my next book. Take Care! 😊💐
Very nicely and effortlessly presented! I'm not much of a non fiction reader but have Sapiens and Bryson's books on my shelf. I'm just waiting for the books to call me someday. I would also like to know your favourite fiction books. Is a video on that in progress? Once again, thanks for this beautifully review and summary of the books
Thank you for the recommendations.... can you please add video on books that you must read.... for nonbook lovers. Am one among them. But needed to begin the habit of reading.
My life-changing books: Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T Kiyosaki Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Meditations - Marcus Aurelius
Dear Dhanya, We all have our book lists but the real fun is knowing about others' book lists. so when your video landed up on my computer, I had to take a peek because of the other Happiness Project that you do. Having seen your list and not having read any of them despite knowing their beautiful contents, I believe you have bundled all your beliefs in one list. As a person looking at your list, I think they are all pointing to you as a person. And what is that? Well you are a person who loves to know where you came from and what you are doing while also love to lay your path ahead. And in these three stages, you would love not to do the cruel things that has been done by your ancestors, disallow perpetration of what wrong is going on and the path ahead has to be a world of beauty without the harsh beliefs. And that is exactly why you do a beautiful show like "The Happiness Project". And you know what? Your list is indicative about the wonderful person you are and it is not the other way around. Having said that, I think you are walking the right path. Thanks for the list and I think I will read at least three out of the six.
Ma'am your explanation of every book is excellent.Your explanation gives the basic idea about the books in the most simple way.My favorite books in this list is Rich Dad Poor Dad and A Short History of Nearly Everything.Your narration gave me the inspiration to read the other books to.You should also try explaining fiction books
You have a great accent, which i fallen in love with. Every man who wants to success in this world, needs a women like you. Great Loves from Scandinavian.
Thanks for the passionate descriptions. an avid reader of good recommendations. I shall surely go through these. A surprising thing was that we as Alumni of our school Carmel in Port Blair, Andaman had organised a Run for the school students on our Alumni Day in August and just based on titles and short description on the back of the outer cover the number 1 book in your recommendations that is Sapiens was given away as 1st prize for both girls and boys. Thanks a lot. I couldn't follow what you said at the end about the line by Douglas Adams. Could you please repeat it in writing.
Good noon Dhanya, lm a GRRREEEAAATT FFFAAANNN of you. Im so much addicted to ur program in Malayalam, Happiness Project. I have seen many of the episodes again and again just because of you. The way you speak, the way you make the guests comfortable, the way you smile and the questions you ask , simply awesome .You are so blessed and filled with all talents abundantly. God bless you. 😊
@Sathi Ganesh damn true the best interviewer who keeps the viewer sit back and enjoy just by her mesmerising smile The way she listens the interviewee is unique
Dhanya, Books have inspired me a lot.I take cues from books-the vocabulary et al. What changed my life : reflecting on my journey thru life, meeting people of character, ethics, humility, compassion & charm, certain attributes & yet they are unassuming-it is this quality that has fascinated me.
Thanku for the video ma'am.. and I realy like some books and loved a few.. but, Cecelia Ahern's 'One Hundred Names' really show me a total different perspective ... Thanks once again ma'am...
In fact i was struggling hard to start a reading habit. Watching your videos have inspired me a lot.. ths would b the first chanel am commenting... Appreciate more of ur videos in English

Though, I Don't know much about you, have hardly interacted via social media, but I remember the girl in the newsroom of mumbai and I see the girl taking interviews. I see a sense of maturity, calmness in you. U come across as a woman of substance to me!

Dear Dhanya, We all have our book lists but the real fun is knowing about others' book lists. so when your video landed up on my computer, I had to take a peek because of the other Happiness Project that you do. Having seen your list and not having read any of them despite knowing their beautiful contents, I believe you have bundled all your beliefs in one list. As a person looking at your list, I think they are all pointing to you as a person. And what is that? Well you are a person who loves to know where you came from and what you are doing while also love to lay your path ahead. And in these three stages, you would love not to do the cruel things that has been done by your ancestors, disallow perpetration of what wrong is going on and the path ahead has to be a world of beauty without the harsh beliefs. And that is exactly why you do a beautiful show like "The Happiness Project". And you know what? Your list is indicative about the wonderful person you are and it is not the other way around. Having said that, I think you are walking the right path. Thanks for the list and I think I will read at least three out of the six.
Oh wow!!!never looked at "the list" that way...but a very interesting one...thanks so much for your support and kind words
Good selection of books and good video , I would suggest "Early Indians by tony joseph "
Ma'am your explanation of every book is excellent.Your explanation gives the basic idea about the books in the most simple way.My favorite books in this list is Rich Dad Poor Dad and A Short History of Nearly Everything.Your narration gave me the inspiration to read the other books to.You should also try explaining fiction books
Will take that up very soon....thanks for suggesting. Pls do share the video with your colleagues or friends..will much appreciate it
You have a great accent, which i fallen in love with. Every man who wants to success in this world, needs a women like you. Great Loves from Scandinavian.
Thanks for the passionate descriptions. an avid reader of good recommendations. I shall surely go through these. A surprising thing was that we as Alumni of our school Carmel in Port Blair, Andaman had organised a Run for the school students on our Alumni Day in August and just based on titles and short description on the back of the outer cover the number 1 book in your recommendations that is Sapiens was given away as 1st prize for both girls and boys. Thanks a lot.
I couldn't follow what you said at the end about the line by Douglas Adams. Could you please repeat it in writing.
Thank you so much for the recommendations. Would definitely try to cover each book🤗. Kudos to your presentation and explanation for each book♥️
Thanks so much...pls do share the vdos with your friends and family

Dhanya, Books have inspired me a lot.I take cues from books-the vocabulary et al. What changed my life : reflecting on my journey thru life, meeting people of character, ethics, humility, compassion & charm, certain attributes & yet they are unassuming-it is this quality that has fascinated me.
@@shebabency2566 Yeah, Dhanya is an exemplary anchor.
