I think if you have room for candles and lights and trinkets, then you don't have enough books! It should be a beautiful chaos just like you have 🥰🥰🥰🥰@@sandramiksaauthor
INFJ and Russian here! For any INFJ, I do recommend reading classic Russian literature of 18th, 19th, and early 20th century! There are so many deep philosophical and psychological topics explored there. I don't know what was in the air during that time, but my god, literally the best books were written then. Gogol is an all time favourite. Highly recommend!
I so agree! I took a Russian Literature class in my university days and that's when I fell in love with Russian lit. I want to learn Russian at some point in my life to be able to read books in their original Russian! "Dead Souls" by Gogol was such a great psychological/philosophical book too. I'm not too sure but I think I remember him passing before finishing his trilogy? Also, thank you for sharing. 😊
@@sandramiksaauthor That's so cool! Russian is ridiculously hard, not to mention these books are also written in old Russian, so it's like reading Jane Eyre. Super interesting but hard! Gogol did pass away when writing 'Dead Souls'. Before his death, he burned the manuscript for his second book, so we don't know what was in it. I'm so curious. His death is also veiled in mystery, even that can be a book on itself. You're absolute welcome! Like you've said, INFJs are literally instant besties for life! I've read all the other books you've mention, (Dostaevsky is GOD), except for 'Quiet'. Added to my shopping cart, thanks for an awesome suggestion! Happy reading!
I need to read more Russian Literature this year!!! Thank you for sharing about Gogol! Somehow I forgot he had burned his manuscript 🥲 Happy reading 🥰@@AwaiHashiba-Yu-Gi-OhDM-Season6
I am an INFJ and a big reader. I am excited to read crime and punishment. I just bought it recently. Jane Eyre was hard to read for me as english is not my first language. But there were moments that were so relatable in that book.
I recommend that INFJs read "The Razor's Edge" by Somerset Maugham. The main character is a guy from the midwest who rejected ordinary life back home after going through life changing experiences in World War I. He decided to stay in Paris while sorting out his experiences, and while quietly helping people to deal with their own challenges in life.
Another INFJ here. I loved Jane Eyre! I just read it this year for the first time too, and I can’t believe it took me so long. It was so relatable and wonderful in every way. A book I would recommend to any INFJ is Babel by R.F. Kuang. Her exploration of language is outstanding and scratches our academic deep-dive itch, and the main characters are mostly outsiders in one way or another. It’s fantastic.
Jane Eyre (the character) is certainly quite an INFJ. I loved the first chapter and also when she left Rochester. I was so disappointed that at the end she went back and married this immoral liar and cheater.
I am an older INFJ. Greetings soul sister! Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius, Gnostic sayings in (Thomas) insanely connected to advocates not into power for self-interest, but for greater good. As Marcus Aurelius refers to integrity as saying what is true and doing what is right, paraphrasing him. I have found that although integrity is often inconvenient and offers a more work on the road of life, it certainly rewards one with a sweet, peace and relatively regret-free life. I am profoundly fortunate to be an INFJ.
Jane Eyre was the first book that i read growing up. It's still is my favorite and i always come back to this book. INFJ from India here. 🩷 your content.
the algorithm from Wenzes videos brought me here🙏🏽🙏🏽 Crazy you started with Dostoyevsky cuz ive always felt a connection to him/his work. you explaining that he very well couldve been an INFJ as well makes so much sense! Notes From the Underground is really good too! just subcribed, love the vids and vibes!
Thank you for the recommendations! My favorite thing to collect are books and have 5 tall bookcases scattered around my house, they are mostly non-fiction though. Crime and Punishment was one that really made me think. Others I haven’t been able to forget after many years: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Because of Romek, The Once and Future King, Laura Ingalls Wilder series, The Wise Heart. I love books that let you immerse yourself in the time and culture through the characters.
I was obsessed with Dostoevsky in high school and read anything by him I could get my hands on! And if you love Jane Eyre, try Wild Beautiful & Free by Sophfronia Scott - it's a retelling of Jane Eyre set in the American Civil War, and I absolutely loved it, definitely cried at the end. I actually found the plot a little more satisfying than Jane Eyre, personally. Another favorite is Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie - I've probably read that 20 times.
I love all of these! Thank you, Sandra, you were so on point about everything when it comes to what makes up who we are as INFJs. I also love seeing the stacks of books behind you. My last house had a small room that I turned into a library. It was all bookshelves, a wing back chair and ottoman, a table to have my reading lamp and put a beverage on. The only other thing I had was a radio in the room. The rest was books. I told people it was my favorite room because I could sit in that space and feel like I was surrounded by my friends that shared their lives with me. I'm now in a one bedroom apartment and everyone is riding my case to get rid of my 4,000 books. I'm not going to do it!
Thank you for sharing. I can’t explain to you how reading this made me so content. Books bring life to our rooms, to our existence. I’m so proud to see another person standing their ground. I couldn’t imagine parting with my books as they become little parts of me and bring me great comfort. Sending you so many cozy vibes and may you always read your next favourite book 🙏🏼🥹
I recommend “Man’s Search For Meaning” by Viktor Frankl, and in addition to the Hitchhiker’s Guide series that someone mentioned, I highly recommend the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, as the books are both hilarious as well as replete with insight into human nature and society in general (plus a lot of really strong, intelligent female protagonists, which can sometimes be a rarity).
Dear INFJ'S the most essential thing for an INFJ is to work on self awareness to observe yourself objectively to read yourself, reading yourself is the best book you would ever read
Which books? ALL OF THEM 😂 I fell in love with Jane Eyre as a teenage boy but also felt l was so similar to her in many ways. Currently going through a Tolkien phase ( again) .
YT Recommendations randomly led me here, so hello 🙂 I've taken the Myers Briggs test 3 x over a 6-7 year period, and have had the result of INFJ-T every time, so guess I'm one! XD Jane Eyre is one of my favourite books, I've got Dostoyevsky on my enormous TBR, and my daughter bought Quiet for me a few years ago (very interesting read!) I've been a reader my whole life (now in my early 50s.) The NeverEnding Story really spoke to me as a child.
Hello. Greetings from Montreal. I have packed book shelves like you do, and tubs full of books in storage that don't fit on mine. I enjoy World History, and human evolution. I'm reading After the Ice by Mithen. I am a Pulitzer Prize Reader, The Gold Finch, The Sympathizer, John the Baptizer, Anything by Jared Diamond. Then the standards, Marcus Aurelius, The Spirituality of Imperfection, The Tao of Pooh. Dark Night of the Soul, I have a long list of my favorites.
Being an INFJ I felt compelled to have a look/listen and as soon as you mentioned Fyodor Dostoevsky and ‘The Brothers Karamazov’ I knew why! This book was given to me as a gift years ago and has been sitting on my bookshelf ever since. I went downstairs and took it off my bookshelf and started reading. Just a few pages in and I know I’m going to love it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your recommendations! Jane Eyre is an INFP however people are free to "Identify" themselves however they want, INFPs are commonly mistyped as INFJs and Vice versa.
It's been many years since I've read Jane Eyre so I cannot provide an input on her type, however I wanted to point out that it's highly unlikely for INFPs and INFJs to be mistyped as the other. Maybe if you're typing them via Big 5 (dichotomy, that online personality quizzes use), then yes, commonly mistyped due to their faulty system of incorrectly using Jung's design. However, via cognitive functions, they do not share any functions and are actually the complete opposite. The Internet is heavily dominated by people who do not study cognitive functions, so please be careful what you read out there. Because of sites like 16personalities, people are prancing around with incorrect "labels" and a misguided understanding of MBTI.
Great summary of traits in the intro. I related to almost every one of them. Never thought about books for INFJ type but I am a big reader and Dostoevsky was one of my first literary loves when I was 20 - 22. Thanks for the video. I’ll be thinking of books.
Now, I have never seen anything of your channel, but as soon as you began speaking about INFJ books (I too am an INFJ) I thought of Alyosha Karamazov. I've never related to a book character more, it was almost scary. So when you mentioned that in addition to Crime and Punishment (another one of my favorites) you recommend The Brothers Karamazov, I trusted you immediately. As you went on, I realized I have all of the books on your list. The only one I haven't actually read is Quiet, but I do own it. If you liked Jane Eyre, I would recommend Middlemarch by George Eliot. I'm in the middle of reading it but I think Dorothea might be a good candidate for an INFJ character. Another good one is The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov if you like Russian literature -- I just wrote my thesis on it and it has major INFJ vibes.
Thank you so much for your recommendations! I'm actually currently reading "The Master and Margarita" and I'm greatly enjoying it. "Middlemarch" is definitely another classic I'd love to tackle this year!
INFJ Aussie here 😎🤘 I could highly recommend Shantaram by Gregory David Robert's. It's an Australian classic, both beautifully poetic and philosophical
Touch - Claire North Too like the lightning - Ada Palmer Children of Time - Adrian Tchaikovsky The Red Book - CG Jung Dreams of the Dying - Nicolas Lietzau
Amazing video - I have read most of Dostoevsky's work - and Jane Eyre is one of my top novels - she is 100% INFJ (classic INFJ door-slammer - brilliant).
I'm an INFJ-T male and just found your channel in the algorithm. Just subscribed and I must confess Into The Wild is one of my favourite films of all time. It really resonated and I have often fantasised about escaping society like in this film. But I haven't read the book so I think I should 😊🙏
came here just to say that I read Jane Eyre from your recommendation and my god. there were so many infj quotes in this book I was in love the whole time, it was a great experience so thank you! ❤ from fellow infj and amateur writer
As an INFJ, I was dyslexic until I finished school, and the day I graduated I started reading like crazy all the books I like. I don't know if it's just me, I rarely read fiction, except for Dostoyevsky (I am obsessed with his books for decades).
Thank you so much for this, it feels so accurate! Jane Eyre is my favorite book, Quiet was an epiphany, I love Divergent and I recently read 'Notes from underground' by Dostoyevsky and was so suprised at how much of an 'intuitive' mind he displays and also at how funny I thought it (I always thought Dostoyevsky was very depressing). I would like to recommend 'Rebecca' by Daphne du Maurier and the non-fiction book 'Learned optimism' by Martin Seligman. Those to me also feel quite INFJ :) And I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on Wuthering Height, because I was recommended that one but it felt a bit more INFP-ish to me, I personally liked Agnes Grey by Anne Brönte a bit more :)
I like Rebecca, too. You should try My Cousin Rachel. Same author. I think you will like it. Similar in a way, not exactly that much in plot (I mean, not much point of reading a replica), but in atmosphere and sense of mystery and uncertainty of leading character, kind of keep you guessing a bit.
I so agree with what you said about "Wuthering Heights." I've been saving "Rebecca" on my shelf for far too long, I think it's time for me to read it this year. Yes!! I read part from "Notes from Underground" and got a little bit freaked out with the intuitive voice, it felt oddly similar to the one in my head lol! Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰
I JUST discovered today that I’m INFJ. It was hiding under ADHD and Autism… However… I’ve been reading books like these since I was about 12… way too young to understand them….
Infp over here, I do relate to infjs in a sense but I know the difference between our cognitive functions. It’s how we usually focus on self-growth while infjs direct their energy more toward the group. I’m more of a happy, friendly, down to earth vibe type of infp and I would say for book recommendations, I’d love anything sci-fi, mystery, thriller, adventure, comedy, or even horror (depends though). I love stories that are not about being on the surface or realistic, I’ve always been attracted to the paranormal honestly so that’s why these genres appeal to me I guess! 🤍
As an infj, i want to recommend you a book called "Heaven official's blessing". i'll write the details here that you need to know about the book (without spoiling the book) because i know that the urge to search up what the book is about would be strong but i really want you to read the book before reading the reviews or criticisms regarding the book. SO, the most important thing i should tell you is that this book is a bl. there aren't many sexual scenes or anything but it's labeled a bl because it is romance between two gentlemen. so if you're uncomfortable with reading the genre, like some people are, you don't have to force it. it's okay. i'm just recommending it because it's one of my top three books among hundreds of books i've read. also, talking about 'romance' books...people often tend to avoid them if they don't want to read a romance novel. but it's not 'just' romance, you see? Especially, the main character...he's an infj. there are many themes regarding kindness, respect, loyalty. I just feel like an infj will get what i'm talking about when they read the book. i'm not saying that other personality types won't get it. of course there are many people of various personality types around the world who love this book. but i'm saying that i think infjs will be able to understand xie lian more (the main character is called xie lian). i feel like infjs will be able to understand how he feels about everything that happens throughout the novel more deeply to the point it may even hurt us.
I love Dostoyevsky's works! White Nights and The Dream of a Ridiculous Man by him are both excellent short stories for anyone who would like an easier entrance to his writing! Quiet has been on my tbr list for years. I should finally read it.
@@sandramiksaauthor It's actually not really devastating! It's more bittersweet/sad but I wouldn't say it's devastating or tragic. The Idiot is more a tragic book though so you might avoid that one.
Hi I loved your video. Thanks 😊 I took the Myers Briggs test over 20 years ago and since then have pondered being an INFJ. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I just want to fit in better. By the way Jane Eyre is one of my all time favorite books. I own at least three copies. I have read divergent. I own the book Quiet and just recently pulled it off the book shelf to start reading. Curiously my husband bought both The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment but he has never read them. After watching your video I swiped both of them. I had not heard of Into the Wild but now I am very interested. Best wishes for your RUclips channels (one is all I can manage) Cheers, Cindy
Hi from an INFJ from Singapore 🇸🇬! I love Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I love the character - Elizabeth Bennet.Thanks for the recommendation, I think I will go pick up “Quiet”. 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
I’ve only recently started reading again after some time. Crime and Punishment is my favorite book and I would also really recommend I Who Have Never Known Man as it's protagonist also feels greatly different from others and has an internal sense of what's right and wrong (I greatly related to it). Its also an incredible book when you learn about the author Jacqueline Harpman who was a qualified psychoanalyst and as a child fled to Casablanca with her family to escape the Nazi invasion. Incredible book about the internal drive for meaning when the world we find ourselves in is so absurd
I was waiting to see if you named either of these two fabulous books (I am also an INFJ, and the main characters are def INFJ in these two). A Confederacy of Dunces By John Kennedy Toole, and The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. As I was typing, I also thought of Metamorphesis by Kafka. I hope you read these, as you will not be disappointed.
@@tipsybass7060 Thank you for sharing!! The first two are definitely on my TBR list. I love anything by Kafka, especially “The Metamorphosis.” I’m starting to think I should make a Part II to this video 📚
A Confederacy of Dunces, the author’s only book and published post mortem, and absolute genius. I’m from the Deep South, I laughed and cried and laughed and cried, knowing I could be that guy.
@@tipsybass7060 I had the good fortune of attending Tulane in New Orleans in 1982, right after graduating high school in Lafayette Louisiana in 1981, my timing was just right, in that the book reached its first major release in 1980 and O’Toole won the Pulitzer Prize posthumously in 1981. Back then I was so curious and a total book worm. That book in particular is indelibly cast into my mind, a bright light in my formative years - looking back there was something about it that helped me understand I wasn’t an alien, just gifted, and really different. The title is from Jonathan Swift: “When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." Amazing comfort for a very lonely young man, and stirring a fire in me, I was different yes, but in a GOOD way. It’s now 40+ years later, I went on to become a lawyer and champion social justice causes. How about you?
@@MichaelGarbarino-t4w that’s awesome you became a social Justice lawyer.. I could use one of those heehee. I’m more in the activist side (since no money, no connections), and have had fabulous adventures doing so.
INFP here. I recommend my Christian fiction novel coming out May 1st on Spiritbuilding Publishers website under New Releases. It's called "Beyond the Woods" and my INFJ best friend read 2/3 of it and loved it!
I'm an INFJ but have ADHD, so it's hard to concentrate on books, BUT I still read a bunch of articles and stuff. If I could focus on it, I would be a huge reader!
I find that audiobooks help especially when playing it along the physical book so that I can trick myself into focusing on the words while the narrated voice overrides the spiralling thoughts in my head. It’s helped me a lot, but obviously this is just what has helped me 💕
I related to you right away… and to your messy crowded bookshelves!!! Crime and Punishment…. Yes…..And I love Timothee Chalumet! Into the Wild one of my favorite movies!!! Eddie Veder soundtrack was epic. Jane Eyre. One of my favorite novels. But Wuthering Wuthering Heights is my all time favorite. I wrote a challenging epic divine feminine past life recall novel which is morally centered, telling a secret history which I know will be an epic world changing tv series to help sex trafficked women and children with the proceeds from my novel and tv series. And yes the book Quiet…. Introverts change the world. We create a new world
@@lindamcgillin2263 ahh this comment made me smile so much!! I can feel your excitement and joy while reading this! I’m so happy to see that you’re also writing! x
I don't know if there's something INFJ about it, haven't given it enough thought, but just wanted to mention "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow", by Gabrielle Zevin. Not a book I thought would appeal to me at first, after the first few pages I was thinking why am I reading this (felt the exact same way the second time I read it too!), but such a wonderful story. I can't find the words to express how deeply I love this book. I'm also a big Jane Eyre fan from way back. Must try some of your other recommendations too. Thank you!
I have "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" on my reading list, you've convinced me to go out and buy a copy and see for myself. I've only heard of great reviews of that book. Thank you for sharing!
I didn’t know that I was an INFJ until a couple years ago. I have always been a voracious reader, fascinated by personality types and tendencies as it makes a lot of sense to understanding myself and others. Strangely enough, my English Literature senior seminar class in college was on Dickens and Dostoyevsky (oof. Very depressing), so I did read Crime & Punishment, The Idiot, and Brothers Karamazov, as well as several Dickens novels. I also read Jane Eyre several times. I do need to be careful not to read too many depressing books, as I absorb all the emotions and they stay with me for a while. I do love character driven stories. As I’ve gotten a few decades older, and life has gotten more difficult, I tend to veer towards books of fantasy and/or wit to balance life stress.
I totally agree that respite is needed from there 'depressing' tomes, lol... because man oh man can they be heavy. And if we're not in the right head space and emotional state - it can be at once comforting and damaging to our psyche. I absolutely love fantasy! I find that it is a genre that tends to also focus on deep character study while putting as much importance into the world building and magic system! I would love to hear about some of your favourite fantasy books! 😊🪄
To Kill A Mockingbird is very INFJ as Atticus is an INFJ. I also love A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, the main character is INFJ and one of the other characters is an ENFJ, but I don't recommend this book lightly, it can be very triggering so make sure you read about that before diving into the book. It's wonderful and it's my favourite ever. I have tried the Brothers Karamazov before and it put me to sleep, I don't think I can read Russian literature for some reason...too depressing even for me as an INFJ lol.
Yessss agreed about Atticus!! Maybe I'll make a part two! 😊 I started "A Little Life" but had to stop because it was so emotionally taxing for me. I want to attempt to read it again!
I can also recommend city of bones or battle angel alita (was a manga) but the story is great and similar to the dystopian themes and value of a person etc. (sorry english is not my second language)
I read Crime and Punishment long time ago as a teenager, I found it a very good novel. Now I read Elif Shafak's The Forty Rules of Love which is about Shams and Rumi - and I think Shams with his rules (and the sufizm itself) are soooo INFJ. Another INFJ book character I know is Pi from Life of Pi, it's on my long must-read-list. I recommend these books to my fellow INFJs. 🙂
@@esztersandor1474 I need to add those to my list!! I love Rumi. I’m half Iranian Persian so I’ve been trying to learn how to read Farsi in order to read the original Rumi 💛
@@sandramiksaauthor Is Farsi language that hard to learn? Just because you said "I've been trying". Anyway I feel respect for you want learn the language of your ancestors in order to read an original writing. 🙂
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged. She has another, The Architect. Bit Atlas Shrugged was influential in my early years, even if i didn't understand my place in the world back then!

I have at least 47 books on Russian History, Politics, Linguistics - one of my shelves in a library has books by Doskoyevsky.Hi from Greece.
Esp the Philosophy of Kant.
Years ago, a college tutor told me to read To Kill A Mocking Bird. 32 years later, it's still on my list.
See the movie. It's excellent and might motivate you to read the book. In the book, Scout (the young girl) is even more amusing.
@@Inkling777 I laughed out loud and was thinking exactly what you wrote.

I love that! Sounds so relaxing 🌿
Hermann Hesse is a great author for INFJs too
so excited for this as an INFJ!! - thank you for a lovely video
My pleasure 🥰🥰
I recommend that INFJs read "The Razor's Edge" by Somerset Maugham. The main character is a guy from the midwest who rejected ordinary life back home after going through life changing experiences in World War I. He decided to stay in Paris while sorting out his experiences, and while quietly helping people to deal with their own challenges in life.
Yessss!! "The Razor's Edge" is one of my all time favourite books.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Neverending Story
I’ll add it to my TBR!
Another INFJ here. I loved Jane Eyre! I just read it this year for the first time too, and I can’t believe it took me so long. It was so relatable and wonderful in every way. A book I would recommend to any INFJ is Babel by R.F. Kuang. Her exploration of language is outstanding and scratches our academic deep-dive itch, and the main characters are mostly outsiders in one way or another. It’s fantastic.

From Dostoyevsky, I liked Notes from the Underground.
I recommend “Man’s Search For Meaning” by Viktor Frankl, and in addition to the Hitchhiker’s Guide series that someone mentioned, I highly recommend the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, as the books are both hilarious as well as replete with insight into human nature and society in general (plus a lot of really strong, intelligent female protagonists, which can sometimes be a rarity).
Great recommendations, thank you! ☺️
Terry Pratchett is THE MAN!!!
I'm an INFJ and reading is like breathing to me. I was the same way when I picked up Divergent for the first time, I read it in one sitting.
Love your bookshelves, they look just like mine. Also I’m an INFJ so this is an amazing video you shared, thank you!🎉🎉💞💞💞
Aww thank you 🥰🥰🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed this video! I love meeting new INFJ people✨
Your passion for all of these was beautiful to hear. Thank you so very much!
Thank you for watching!

Should we create an infj reading club? Perhaps our own community and city , with the biggest library ever imagined 😊
That sounds like a fantastic idea 😍
Dear INFJ'S the most essential thing for an INFJ is to work on self awareness to observe yourself objectively to read yourself, reading yourself is the best book you would ever read
You are great. Very perceptive. I will check out some of these. Thank you, fellow INFJ
My pleasure! I hope the books will be to your liking 📚
Divergent is my favorite movie/book 💗💗💗💗💗
Which books? ALL OF THEM 😂
I fell in love with Jane Eyre as a teenage boy but also felt l was so similar to her in many ways.
Currently going through a Tolkien phase ( again) .
I’m currently reading Tolkien for the first time! It was a long time coming 😅
Love this and the recommendations!
Thank you! ☺
YT Recommendations randomly led me here, so hello 🙂
I've taken the Myers Briggs test 3 x over a 6-7 year period, and have had the result of INFJ-T every time, so guess I'm one! XD
Jane Eyre is one of my favourite books, I've got Dostoyevsky on my enormous TBR, and my daughter bought Quiet for me a few years ago (very interesting read!) I've been a reader my whole life (now in my early 50s.) The NeverEnding Story really spoke to me as a child.
Welcome INFJ friend! 😀 I hope you get the chance to read and enjoy books by Dostoevsky and the book "Quiet" 📖
These are all on my TBR except for Quiet which I’ve read, and the explanations are on point
Thank you! And happy reading!
Hello. Greetings from Montreal. I have packed book shelves like you do, and tubs full of books in storage that don't fit on mine. I enjoy World History, and human evolution. I'm reading After the Ice by Mithen. I am a Pulitzer Prize Reader, The Gold Finch, The Sympathizer, John the Baptizer, Anything by Jared Diamond. Then the standards, Marcus Aurelius, The Spirituality of Imperfection, The Tao of Pooh. Dark Night of the Soul, I have a long list of my favorites.
Such great books on your list! Thank you for sharing. Merci pour vos recommandations ! 😊📚
Being an INFJ I felt compelled to have a look/listen and as soon as you mentioned Fyodor Dostoevsky and ‘The Brothers Karamazov’ I knew why! This book was given to me as a gift years ago and has been sitting on my bookshelf ever since. I went downstairs and took it off my bookshelf and started reading. Just a few pages in and I know I’m going to love it. Thanks for sharing.
THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO HEAR. Enjoy the journey of reading "The Brothers Karamazov"! ☺
Life happened and I didn’t have much time to read until just recently. I’m up to part two. Wow so good I don’t want to put the book down!
Omg!! I'm so glad you're enjoying it!@@adelejoy
Thanks for your recommendations! Jane Eyre is an INFP however people are free to "Identify" themselves however they want, INFPs are commonly mistyped as INFJs and Vice versa.
It's been many years since I've read Jane Eyre so I cannot provide an input on her type, however I wanted to point out that it's highly unlikely for INFPs and INFJs to be mistyped as the other. Maybe if you're typing them via Big 5 (dichotomy, that online personality quizzes use), then yes, commonly mistyped due to their faulty system of incorrectly using Jung's design. However, via cognitive functions, they do not share any functions and are actually the complete opposite.
The Internet is heavily dominated by people who do not study cognitive functions, so please be careful what you read out there. Because of sites like 16personalities, people are prancing around with incorrect "labels" and a misguided understanding of MBTI.
Another INFJ here. Thank you for sharing your favourite books. Love to read and can't wait read some of the ones you have recommended. 📚
My pleasure! I hope you'll enjoy reading these books ☺
Love u, thanks alot ❤, I am a very big fan of the movie "into the wild", and now i blindly trust you for any book u recommend. 🎉
Ahhh! I love when people love “Into the Wild” makes my heart so happy 🥺♥️♥️
Great summary of traits in the intro. I related to almost every one of them. Never thought about books for INFJ type but I am a big reader and Dostoevsky was one of my first literary loves when I was 20 - 22. Thanks for the video. I’ll be thinking of books.
Thank you for sharing! I’m goad you got to relate to it 📚
Now, I have never seen anything of your channel, but as soon as you began speaking about INFJ books (I too am an INFJ) I thought of Alyosha Karamazov. I've never related to a book character more, it was almost scary. So when you mentioned that in addition to Crime and Punishment (another one of my favorites) you recommend The Brothers Karamazov, I trusted you immediately. As you went on, I realized I have all of the books on your list. The only one I haven't actually read is Quiet, but I do own it. If you liked Jane Eyre, I would recommend Middlemarch by George Eliot. I'm in the middle of reading it but I think Dorothea might be a good candidate for an INFJ character. Another good one is The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov if you like Russian literature -- I just wrote my thesis on it and it has major INFJ vibes.
Thank you so much for your recommendations! I'm actually currently reading "The Master and Margarita" and I'm greatly enjoying it. "Middlemarch" is definitely another classic I'd love to tackle this year!
The way I clicked on this video so fast bcs I rlly needed it
INFJ Aussie here 😎🤘 I could highly recommend Shantaram by Gregory David Robert's. It's an Australian classic, both beautifully poetic and philosophical
Oooo! I have it on my shelf! I'm excited to pick it up, thank you for the rec! ☺
Touch - Claire North
Too like the lightning - Ada Palmer
Children of Time - Adrian Tchaikovsky
The Red Book - CG Jung
Dreams of the Dying - Nicolas Lietzau
Best friends for sure😊
Amazing video - I have read most of Dostoevsky's work - and Jane Eyre is one of my top novels - she is 100% INFJ (classic INFJ door-slammer - brilliant).
I'm an INFJ-T male and just found your channel in the algorithm. Just subscribed and I must confess Into The Wild is one of my favourite films of all time. It really resonated and I have often fantasised about escaping society like in this film. But I haven't read the book so I think I should 😊🙏
I hope you'll love the book too!! It has mixed reviews but same goes for the movie. Truly life-changing ☺
I felt the book was superior to the film, the protagonists’ heroes journey and how his life’s journey ended, very well written.
came here just to say that I read Jane Eyre from your recommendation and my god. there were so many infj quotes in this book I was in love the whole time, it was a great experience so thank you! ❤
from fellow infj and amateur writer
ahhh this makes me so happy ♥🥹
Being an Infj, i really appreciate these book recommendations:))
Happy to hear that ☺️☺️
As an INFJ, I was dyslexic until I finished school, and the day I graduated I started reading like crazy all the books I like.
I don't know if it's just me, I rarely read fiction, except for Dostoyevsky (I am obsessed with his books for decades).
Just to add, I love 'Emma' by Jane Austen (not sure if it has anything to do with INFJ but I love it).
@@bumblebee_ms I absolutely LOVE “Emma” 😍😍
Have you seen the movie version with Gwyneth Paltrow? It's epic. I own it on DVD and have watched it to death.
Forced to read Emma in college. WORST BOOK EVER !
Thank you so much for this, it feels so accurate! Jane Eyre is my favorite book, Quiet was an epiphany, I love Divergent and I recently read 'Notes from underground' by Dostoyevsky and was so suprised at how much of an 'intuitive' mind he displays and also at how funny I thought it (I always thought Dostoyevsky was very depressing). I would like to recommend 'Rebecca' by Daphne du Maurier and the non-fiction book 'Learned optimism' by Martin Seligman. Those to me also feel quite INFJ :) And I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on Wuthering Height, because I was recommended that one but it felt a bit more INFP-ish to me, I personally liked Agnes Grey by Anne Brönte a bit more :)
I like Rebecca, too. You should try My Cousin Rachel. Same author. I think you will like it.
Similar in a way, not exactly that much in plot (I mean, not much point of reading a replica), but in atmosphere and sense of mystery and uncertainty of leading character, kind of keep you guessing a bit.
@@GraceRay-b9m Thank you so much for the recommendation, I will certainly give that one a try!
I so agree with what you said about "Wuthering Heights." I've been saving "Rebecca" on my shelf for far too long, I think it's time for me to read it this year.
Yes!! I read part from "Notes from Underground" and got a little bit freaked out with the intuitive voice, it felt oddly similar to the one in my head lol!
Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰
@@GraceRay-b9m thank you so much, I will definately be checking that one out!
I found Wuthering Heights underwhelming and very disappointing.
Great recommendations one INFJ to another!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the recs! 🥰
Great list! As an INFJ myself as well, I really enjoyed Sally Rooney's Normal People, would highly recommend :)
Great rec! It’s one of my all-time favourites 🥹🥰
I loved Crime and Punishment! I think it was and is still my favorite book. ❤
I JUST discovered today that I’m INFJ. It was hiding under ADHD and Autism…
However… I’ve been reading books like these since I was about 12… way too young to understand them….
Thank you for the video
Infp over here, I do relate to infjs in a sense but I know the difference between our cognitive functions. It’s how we usually focus on self-growth while infjs direct their energy more toward the group. I’m more of a happy, friendly, down to earth vibe type of infp and I would say for book recommendations, I’d love anything sci-fi, mystery, thriller, adventure, comedy, or even horror (depends though). I love stories that are not about being on the surface or realistic, I’ve always been attracted to the paranormal honestly so that’s why these genres appeal to me I guess! 🤍
I love that! Thank you for sharing 🥰
As an infj, i want to recommend you a book called "Heaven official's blessing". i'll write the details here that you need to know about the book (without spoiling the book) because i know that the urge to search up what the book is about would be strong but i really want you to read the book before reading the reviews or criticisms regarding the book. SO, the most important thing i should tell you is that this book is a bl. there aren't many sexual scenes or anything but it's labeled a bl because it is romance between two gentlemen. so if you're uncomfortable with reading the genre, like some people are, you don't have to force it. it's okay. i'm just recommending it because it's one of my top three books among hundreds of books i've read. also, talking about 'romance' books...people often tend to avoid them if they don't want to read a romance novel. but it's not 'just' romance, you see? Especially, the main character...he's an infj. there are many themes regarding kindness, respect, loyalty. I just feel like an infj will get what i'm talking about when they read the book. i'm not saying that other personality types won't get it. of course there are many people of various personality types around the world who love this book. but i'm saying that i think infjs will be able to understand xie lian more (the main character is called xie lian). i feel like infjs will be able to understand how he feels about everything that happens throughout the novel more deeply to the point it may even hurt us.
I love Dostoyevsky's works! White Nights and The Dream of a Ridiculous Man by him are both excellent short stories for anyone who would like an easier entrance to his writing!
Quiet has been on my tbr list for years. I should finally read it.
I’m really interested in reading “White Nights” but I’ve heard it’s devastating 🫣
@@sandramiksaauthor It's actually not really devastating! It's more bittersweet/sad but I wouldn't say it's devastating or tragic. The Idiot is more a tragic book though so you might avoid that one.
Hi I loved your video. Thanks 😊 I took the Myers Briggs test over 20 years ago and since then have pondered being an INFJ. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I just want to fit in better. By the way Jane Eyre is one of my all time favorite books. I own at least three copies. I have read divergent. I own the book Quiet and just recently pulled it off the book shelf to start reading. Curiously my husband bought both The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment but he has never read them. After watching your video I swiped both of them. I had not heard of Into the Wild but now I am very interested.
Best wishes for your RUclips channels (one is all I can manage)
Cheers,
Cindy
true divergent means something.. its 1 of the most meaningful movies iv watched
Hi from an INFJ from Singapore 🇸🇬! I love Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I love the character - Elizabeth Bennet.Thanks for the recommendation, I think I will go pick up “Quiet”. 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
Hi fellow INFJ!! Thank you for watching ♥ P&P is one of my all-time favourite book! I hope you enjoy Quiet! 📖
Yes, saw the background, my heart skipped a beat, and clicked subscribe immediately. 😊
I love that ☺️
I’ve only recently started reading again after some time. Crime and Punishment is my favorite book and I would also really recommend I Who Have Never Known Man as it's protagonist also feels greatly different from others and has an internal sense of what's right and wrong (I greatly related to it). Its also an incredible book when you learn about the author Jacqueline Harpman who was a qualified psychoanalyst and as a child fled to Casablanca with her family to escape the Nazi invasion. Incredible book about the internal drive for meaning when the world we find ourselves in is so absurd
Thank you for sharing!! "I Who Have Never Known Man" has been in my wishlist for some while now, need to pick it up soon!
I was waiting to see if you named either of these two fabulous books (I am also an INFJ, and the main characters are def INFJ in these two). A Confederacy of Dunces By John Kennedy Toole, and The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. As I was typing, I also thought of Metamorphesis by Kafka. I hope you read these, as you will not be disappointed.
@@tipsybass7060 Thank you for sharing!! The first two are definitely on my TBR list. I love anything by Kafka, especially “The Metamorphosis.” I’m starting to think I should make a Part II to this video 📚
A Confederacy of Dunces, the author’s only book and published post mortem, and absolute genius. I’m from the Deep South, I laughed and cried and laughed and cried, knowing I could be that guy.
@@MichaelGarbarino-t4w you’re one of two other readers I’ve ever ran into that has read this book!! Open for discussion, anytime!
@@tipsybass7060 I had the good fortune of attending Tulane in New Orleans in 1982, right after graduating high school in Lafayette Louisiana in 1981, my timing was just right, in that the book reached its first major release in 1980 and O’Toole won the Pulitzer Prize posthumously in 1981. Back then I was so curious and a total book worm. That book in particular is indelibly cast into my mind, a bright light in my formative years - looking back there was something about it that helped me understand I wasn’t an alien, just gifted, and really different. The title is from Jonathan Swift: “When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." Amazing comfort for a very lonely young man, and stirring a fire in me, I was different yes, but in a GOOD way. It’s now 40+ years later, I went on to become a lawyer and champion social justice causes. How about you?
@@MichaelGarbarino-t4w that’s awesome you became a social Justice lawyer.. I could use one of those heehee.
I’m more in the activist side (since no money, no connections), and have had fabulous adventures doing so.
A favorite movie is, Lost In Translation. I think it’s very INFJ-ish?? Anyone agree?? I loved it long before I knew I was INFJ.
I'm ashamed to admit that I have been saving that movie for a raining day. Maybe it's time to watch it! 😅
Well Done. You nailed it
I have read all these books but the only one that sings to my soul is Jane Eyre.
INFP here. I recommend my Christian fiction novel coming out May 1st on Spiritbuilding Publishers website under New Releases. It's called "Beyond the Woods" and my INFJ best friend read 2/3 of it and loved it!
I recommend " My Awakening " by David Duke. Shalom
Hey! That was my wall before I decided to thin down my book collection.
Can an ENFJ read them?!?! haha Another fantastic video! Thank you!
Of course!! ☺️☺️
INFJ and loved reading russian authors
oooo thank ya.
Being an INFJ I am glad I stumbled upon this video. ❤
Welcome friend ♥
I'm an INFJ but have ADHD, so it's hard to concentrate on books, BUT I still read a bunch of articles and stuff. If I could focus on it, I would be a huge reader!
I find that audiobooks help especially when playing it along the physical book so that I can trick myself into focusing on the words while the narrated voice overrides the spiralling thoughts in my head. It’s helped me a lot, but obviously this is just what has helped me 💕
@@sandramiksaauthor I'll def try it!
I related to you right away… and to your messy crowded bookshelves!!! Crime and Punishment…. Yes…..And I love Timothee Chalumet!
Into the Wild one of my favorite movies!!! Eddie Veder soundtrack was epic.
Jane Eyre. One of my favorite novels. But Wuthering Wuthering Heights is my all time favorite.
I wrote a challenging epic divine feminine past life recall novel which is morally centered, telling a secret history which I know will be an epic world changing tv series to help sex trafficked women and children with the proceeds from my novel and tv series.
And yes the book Quiet…. Introverts change the world. We create a new world
@@lindamcgillin2263 ahh this comment made me smile so much!! I can feel your excitement and joy while reading this!
I’m so happy to see that you’re also writing! x
I don't know if there's something INFJ about it, haven't given it enough thought, but just wanted to mention "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow", by Gabrielle Zevin. Not a book I thought would appeal to me at first, after the first few pages I was thinking why am I reading this (felt the exact same way the second time I read it too!), but such a wonderful story. I can't find the words to express how deeply I love this book.
I'm also a big Jane Eyre fan from way back. Must try some of your other recommendations too. Thank you!
I have "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" on my reading list, you've convinced me to go out and buy a copy and see for myself. I've only heard of great reviews of that book. Thank you for sharing!

I didn’t know that I was an INFJ until a couple years ago. I have always been a voracious reader, fascinated by personality types and tendencies as it makes a lot of sense to understanding myself and others. Strangely enough, my English Literature senior seminar class in college was on Dickens and Dostoyevsky (oof. Very depressing), so I did read Crime & Punishment, The Idiot, and Brothers Karamazov, as well as several Dickens novels. I also read Jane Eyre several times. I do need to be careful not to read too many depressing books, as I absorb all the emotions and they stay with me for a while. I do love character driven stories. As I’ve gotten a few decades older, and life has gotten more difficult, I tend to veer towards books of fantasy and/or wit to balance life stress.
I totally agree that respite is needed from there 'depressing' tomes, lol... because man oh man can they be heavy. And if we're not in the right head space and emotional state - it can be at once comforting and damaging to our psyche. I absolutely love fantasy! I find that it is a genre that tends to also focus on deep character study while putting as much importance into the world building and magic system! I would love to hear about some of your favourite fantasy books! 😊🪄
I never took up reading for pleasure that often. I wouldcday dream more growing up or play puzzle and strategy games.
Into the Wild--Yes!
both times i read it, i couldn't put it down!
To Kill A Mockingbird is very INFJ as Atticus is an INFJ. I also love A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, the main character is INFJ and one of the other characters is an ENFJ, but I don't recommend this book lightly, it can be very triggering so make sure you read about that before diving into the book. It's wonderful and it's my favourite ever.
I have tried the Brothers Karamazov before and it put me to sleep, I don't think I can read Russian literature for some reason...too depressing even for me as an INFJ lol.
Yessss agreed about Atticus!! Maybe I'll make a part two! 😊 I started "A Little Life" but had to stop because it was so emotionally taxing for me. I want to attempt to read it again!
I can also recommend city of bones or battle angel alita (was a manga) but the story is great and similar to the dystopian themes and value of a person etc. (sorry english is not my second language)
Thank you for recommending!! I love "City of Bone"!
I'm going to read Crime and punishment again. I luved it
It's so good!
Wow, what a book collection.
Everything by Douglas Coupland is amazing! Amazing writer!
I feel like I was born ENFJ but mid-life gradually became INFJ. I didn't become a reader until my 20s.
You are a very sweet soul.Wish I could hug you.
I read Crime and Punishment long time ago as a teenager, I found it a very good novel.
Now I read Elif Shafak's The Forty Rules of Love which is about Shams and Rumi - and I think Shams with his rules (and the sufizm itself) are soooo INFJ. Another INFJ book character I know is Pi from Life of Pi, it's on my long must-read-list. I recommend these books to my fellow INFJs. 🙂
@@esztersandor1474 I need to add those to my list!! I love Rumi. I’m half Iranian Persian so I’ve been trying to learn how to read Farsi in order to read the original Rumi 💛
@@sandramiksaauthor Is Farsi language that hard to learn? Just because you said "I've been trying". Anyway I feel respect for you want learn the language of your ancestors in order to read an original writing. 🙂
@@esztersandor1474 Reading and writing it is more challenging than speaking and understanding! But it’s a challenge I’m willing to tackle 😊
Have a try reading
A course in miracles.
It’s on my book shelf!
Barbara Kingsolver my best American author!
Do you agree that, for example, the "Harmonica" from Once upon a time in the West is a (sigma) infj?
Reading and writing comes naturally to INFJ, and I wonder what else is natural, photography? Mystical arts, reiki, etc? Teaching?
Yes to all! INFJs are deeply creative, humanitarian, and spiritual. Many INFJs take on teaching, writing, healing practices, etc.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth.. gave me His personality..
I'm not a reader but I listen to audiobooks every day. I'm currently listening to "A New Earth" by Eckart Tolle. Highly recommended!
I’ve read that book last year, I really enjoyed it 😊 and I also liked his other book “The Power of Now”
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged. She has another, The Architect. Bit Atlas Shrugged was influential in my early years, even if i didn't understand my place in the world back then!
I have that book on my shelf! It’s quite daunting but I’m up for the challenge when I get the time. Thank you for recommending! 😊
