Thank you for this video, Mimi! Love finding new books and these are all right up my alley!! Those books like The Power of now are real gems, crazy how You Can randomly flip to a page and apply to your life...I've tried this with my mom and a few friends and it's astonished them all. Magic! Haha 😊 Thank you.
It is so refreshing to see someone as positive and kind as you. Lately, i have been surrounded by really negative people who put others down and constantly criticize everyone/everything and its really been getting to me. I almost lost faith that nice people exist. But its really great seeing someone that smiles and doesn't have all this crazy sassy attitude. Please always stay this sweet! Its one of your greatest traits :) Helpful video btw. Thank you!
Thank you for this. It's always a pleasure to see your videos on my inbox. It's nice watch people who live their lives with meaning and still appreciate a trip to the mall. :) I love watching your videos for inspiration, whether it be clothing or books! Mimi, please continue to make videos, they're like little gifts in my day. Diane
@FashionAplenty I will do the video on it in a few weeks:) I know it might feel really hard at times, but know that you can get through it and you will:) Sending you lotsa LOVE:)
Ahhh Don Miguel Ruiz fantastic Mexican author I love his books they are incredible and life changing! The four agreements is a masterpiece translated to many languages it is definitely a must read.
Hi Mimi. My husband is insisting me to read (THE 4 HOUR WORK WEEK), but I haven't done yet. I recommend you to read THE CHINA STUDY by Dr. Collin Campbell as your interested in health.
Definitely, Richard Branson's Book it's amazing .I would like to add 3 more at your list ! 1. Think like a freak by Steven D. Levitt /Stephen J. Dubner 2.The Virgin Way by Richard Branson 3.Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi PS: a comic novel the gun seller written by Hugh Laurie (Dr. House ).Enjoy.Ciao
Hi Mimi! I absolutely love your channel. I watched this video a while ago but now that it is summer and i am going on a 20+ hour airplane ride, I got all your books to read this summer. I can't wait! :)
Much like with Leyla's list a lot of these are on my list. Thank you for reminding me of some of these books, I forgot about a couple of them. I'm looking forward to having some time to read these books after I'm done my undergrad in April :) You have such a good and positive attitude which is admirable. And you are one of the few that look lovely in yellow, by the way!
The books, poems, and short stories that change me the most, are those I've read in my lit classes (I'm a lit major). One of my all time favorite authors in Nathaniel Hawthorne. His writing, allusions, irony, etc. is just amazing. I've also recently gotten into Ray Bradbury. Literature has a lot of amazing stories that people just write off as "old", and don't take the time to appreciate it!
Paulo Coelho is so talent and his books is the best for our life. I nave "The Power of Now" in english and portugues, its complex but its a must-have book, is a awaken for life. I work driving hours a day, so I will re-purchase a bunch of book in audible form. Thanks for sharing!
OMG!! I love your book recommendations! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear about your vipassana experience! It's also like the Paul Coehlo book has been screaming at me for some time now, I think I am finally going to read it! Anything by Wayne Dyer would be great but Everyday Magic is the book that changed my life and got me reading self help books for over ten years!!! (Don't worry I also love reading and never read only one type of book :)) I'm so happy you made this video!!!
@HilaryAlice16 Oh, I can totally relate:) I used to work at a bank for years and as much as i loved working with people I hated the idea of working at a financial institution. I'm so grateful for the lifestyle we have been able to built for ourselves and this book has been a tremendous help:) You will love it!
Thank you so much for this video! I love the enormous effects books can have on us and I'm always looking for a new book. Thanks for sharing :) A video on the meditation course would be super interesting!
I love Tuesdays With Morrire. What a great book! It is one of my favourites ever. Also, Don Miguel Ruiz is a great author. I enjoy his Four Agreements book. Great selections you have picked. We defintely have the same taste in books.
I love reading books that changing my life and trying to find that kind of books to read because i want to be better and living in peace and without fears.I find it helpful, I want to read all the books you mentioned.I'm Greek and I've read Alchemist of course!
Great list Mimi!!! I'm definitely going to have make a trip to the bookstore soon =). I actually have a couple of recommendations for you! I know...twist! lol. If you like Tuesdays with Morrie, you'll love "The five people you meet in heaven." Its by the same author, and I'm obsessed with it. I think I've read it 10 times! And another one I think you girls would like is "Eat, Pray, Love." I read it years ago, and literally have almost every page dog tagged.
I love that you beautiful ladies care to share not only about everything beauty but also your favourite books. Thanks for the great recommendations, I read a few of those already so I will take a look at the others.
+everything luxy I am on a Mimi marathon tonight and I gotta say this...as much as I love all of them GOSH have you ever improved over time! It's amazing to see the "evolution" of your channel...but speaking about books,those you mentioned are all of my favourite except for the Meditation book as I've never read it.Mimi,I remember in one of the vlogs you mentioned books you loved as a child like the Dr Dolittle (loved it as well) so I am curious if you've ever read Children of the Noisy Village by Astrid Lindgren? This is the English title,I've read it in Polish which sounded a bit different but anyways together with Hans Christian Andersen tales , one of my best memories of growing up!
I love seeing that even beautiful people like you and Leyla are very deep and understanding of life. Pretty people and people that mess around with make-up and stuff usually are stereotyped about being shallow and superficial, you guys totally break that stereotype! Awsome!
The Alchemist is the perfect read when you are starting a new life, so I think it is so perfect that you got to read it after you moved here =) I too read the entire book in one setting. You should do more of these book-related videos!
I loved your recommendations and am going to try to read them all. The book series I have to recommend is Harry Potter. People who Aren't familiar (the movies don't count!) brush it off as a silly children's book, but honestly it has taught me so much about life, the people we meet, and the decisions we make. No other book has had such a lasting impact. I promise if you give it a try you will love it!
Absolutely love Mastery of love. It has truly changed my life and definitely improved my relationship in a drastic way. My boyfriend loved it too. Thank you so much Mimi ❤
Hi Mimi! Please do do the silent meditation video. I've been thinking of doing one for a while now, but I guess never found the proper time or conviction to follow through... looking to hear from some one who's done it! Loves! -eesha
i have to admitt i thought this was going to be a very long kinda boring video.. and im so glad i gave it a chance!! probably one of the best videos you have made yet. Thank you so much for sharing and im looking forward to reading a couple :) p.s. please do a video talking about your 10 day meditation please and thank you!
The Starting Point of Happiness - Ryuho Okawa. I would say some of the concepts in the book were over my head, because it is a buddhist perspective. Some I agree with and some I am not sure. However, I received this from a friend when I was going through a rough time myself. I keep going back to it when I'm at some real lows. It opened my eyes with regards to feeling happy and appreciative for the things I do have. It is a short book, and it is a nice to read a chapter a night or something like that, or even a chapter a week to let things settle in your mind.
Thank you Mimi so much. My English isn't good but I already download some books that you recommend and reading it. Thanks again:**It's amazing, I can understand them)))
omg didn't even watch the video yet saw that the alchemist was on there just omg ah freaking out here I love and respect that book so much and love you even more now! :P xx
Great list!! We have very similar taste:) I actually had never read The Alchemist so I went & got it because of you & you're so right, I read it in 1 day!!! It was so good!
Tuesdays with Morrie is a GREAT book. Very touching, when I was in 7th grade, I read that book, and I just broke down. Very good, I recommend reading it too.
Thanks so much for this video, Mimi! I've been trying to work on becoming a better person for myself and on my relationships lately, so I'll definitely pick up some of the books you've suggested :)
you should read the christmas sweater or the gift - definitely makes you think twice about life. and thanks for the book ideas! will most definitely go check those out!
One of my favourite books I read last week is "Confidence" by Rob Yeung and it's super helping book,it's amazing.Also Leo Buscaglia is great!I've read "Living Loving Learning" years ago and it had an impact on me!
I love Sophie Kinsella as well. It's funny you mention her because no one i've spoken to here in the States knows who she is. I'm reading "Remember me?" by her right now and I love it so far. I've also read "Twenties Girl". Thank you for your recommendations, they all sound transformational. I'm particularly interested in the "4 hour work week", the book on love, and the one on your life's purpose. I'll share what I think once I've read them. Best wishes!
+Leisha Israni I've read all of her books and I love them all! Her new one in the shopaholic series comes out in a few days but as far as the stand alone titles you MUST read Can you keep a secret and the Undomestic Goddess and then I've got your number....but Can you keep a secret is DA BOMB!
thanks for this video! I can't wait for Leyla's favourite books! I really enjoyed "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff" by Richard Carlson, it's a really easy read with 100 tips on how to live a more peaceful and stress free life =)
looks like i gotta invest some money into buying all those books ! i cant wait to read them, your review on them is just too convincing LOL cant wait !
@Aygunchik OH my GOd! You sound just like me Aygunchik:) hehe Me and Leyla thought we were going crazy too, but all the " omens" signs" whatever brought us to where we are now:) Thank you for sharing kracavica
Mimi thank you for making this video... more awareness should be raised on how to manage life, lifes stresses and anxiety.. keep up the good work your videos are a blessing take care xox
Спасибо Вам еще раз) "Алхимик" моя самая любимая книга, после которой что-то во мне переменилось)) Начала читать "Силу Настоящего", эта книга нашла меня))
@thepowerofnow2 Yes, it's a great book:) I have read it years ago and I follow Robin Sharma on Twitter:) hehe:) I will definitely consider doing a video on my 10 day silent vipassana meditation experience:)
My absolute favourite is "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay. Amazing read. Helps to overcome all difficulties in your life, stay possitive and be positive.
I loved reading the Alchemist! I tried reading Eckert Tolle's books, but I could never get through any of them so I stopped trying. I understand what he is saying, but his style of writing puts me to sleep. I read many other books containing the same messages that held my attention and I could not put them down.
Thank you very much Mimi for recommending the book, Mastery of Love- Don Miguel Ruiz. It is an eye opening book and it made me realised so much about love! :)
Ugh the nostalgia! Coming back to this channel reminds me of me teen years
could you do an updated version of this?
could you do an updated list of your favorite books? I tried looking for recent lists online and I couldn't find any.
Thank you for this video, Mimi! Love finding new books and these are all right up my alley!! Those books like The Power of now are real gems, crazy how You Can randomly flip to a page and apply to your life...I've tried this with my mom and a few friends and it's astonished them all. Magic! Haha 😊 Thank you.
The Four Agreements is an absolute MUST! It is written by the same author that wrote the Mastery of Love. It will change your life.
It is so refreshing to see someone as positive and kind as you. Lately, i have been surrounded by really negative people who put others down and constantly criticize everyone/everything and its really been getting to me. I almost lost faith that nice people exist. But its really great seeing someone that smiles and doesn't have all this crazy sassy attitude. Please always stay this sweet! Its one of your greatest traits :) Helpful video btw. Thank you!
@celebfan3 It's my pleasure hun:) I'm sure you are going to enjoy it;)
@zuska16 It's my pleasure hun:) and I just listed them in the info box::)
Thank you for this. It's always a pleasure to see your videos on my inbox. It's nice watch people who live their lives with meaning and still appreciate a trip to the mall. :)

Much like with Leyla's list a lot of these are on my list. Thank you for reminding me of some of these books, I forgot about a couple of them. I'm looking forward to having some time to read these books after I'm done my undergrad in April :) You have such a good and positive attitude which is admirable. And you are one of the few that look lovely in yellow, by the way!

Tuesdays with Morrie is amazing! I LOVE it... really makes you think...I love anything written by Mitch Albom or "Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch!
Thank you so much for this video! I love the enormous effects books can have on us and I'm always looking for a new book. Thanks for sharing :)
A video on the meditation course would be super interesting!

I love seeing that even beautiful people like you and Leyla are very deep and understanding of life. Pretty people and people that mess around with make-up and stuff usually are stereotyped about being shallow and superficial, you guys totally break that stereotype! Awsome!

Спасибо Вам еще раз) "Алхимик" моя самая любимая книга, после которой что-то во мне переменилось)) Начала читать "Силу Настоящего", эта книга нашла меня))
Paulo Coelho is portuguese like myself.. I love him and I'm so glad you like The Alchemist :D
He's done very well representing our country ;D
@loveexo I'm planning on doing it in a few weeks:)
tuesdays with morrie is one of my favorite books too! it made me realize sooo much things i didnt know before. i have a different view of life now
@thepowerofnow2 Yes, it's a great book:) I have read it years ago and I follow Robin Sharma on Twitter:) hehe:)
I will definitely consider doing a video on my 10 day silent vipassana meditation experience:)
My absolute favourite is "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay. Amazing read. Helps to overcome all difficulties in your life, stay possitive and be positive.
I loved reading the Alchemist! I tried reading Eckert Tolle's books, but I could never get through any of them so I stopped trying. I understand what he is saying, but his style of writing puts me to sleep. I read many other books containing the same messages that held my attention and I could not put them down.
