Great video Kalle! I would probably listen Ishmael, although I hesitated with the company of one 😊
@@coeursauvage-b1k it's ok to read all of them 😉
I will listen to Ishmael! :) Thanks Kalle, this was very inspiring. If you have more books or podcasts worth sharing, I would love to hear about them!
Downloaded all three! Looking forward to listening to them. The link to audible didn’t do much? What was supposed to happen through it? I payed full price for three credits, so hope you got somwthing from it!
As you were describing Ishmael and its opening questions, I thought about how Jeff Bezos’s company is actively helping to destroy the planet and society, so while I do think I’ll read Ishmael, I won’t be using Audible to do so. Thank you for a great video

Thanks
@Michelle Mather you will be taping you mouth at night and sleeping so beautifully!
Thank you.
For anyone interested in subject consistency, Ishmael contains no philosophy
This is why I have a problem finding my soulmate. He's probably out there in the woods somewhere.
Ah yes, but ask yourself - where do woodsmen go to get away from it all? Look there.

😅 love this
That’s hilarious

Thank you for sharing these! I love that feeling of being so profoundly changed by a book that you can't help but share it. I know what I'm adding to my already 4 foot tall pile of "books to read" list 😅
Wise words Gwen ❤
Haha, remember to start reading as well so the pile can get a bit smaller 😅❤
I love these words, thank you for sharing them!
Your comment really was insightful and important to hear...... peace from Texas .......
Great quote!
Honestly Kalle when you’re talking about wanting to be in control of your own time I almost got misty eyed because that’s how I feel right now. I don’t dislike my job but I dislike the strict structure of my life where I can’t on a whim take my children to the lake to play.
"The Moneyless Man: A Year of Freeconomic Living" was the book that had that same effect on me. Ever since reading it, I see my captivity.
I have not read it, but Im guessing it is about living a "no buy" year...did you actually try it?
Great book, hes done a couple of others which are good aswell
"Deciding about your own time." Sounds like a definition for FREEDOM.
I read Ishmael when I was 15, probably 20 times since (35 now). Completely destroyed my life in the best way possible. Never been the same, and so happy for it.
1:43 Breath, The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor

8:25 Ishmael (A Novel) by Daniel Quinn
That was such a wonderful story about your dad and I can see how you admired and respected him for it. The influence it had on you stuck to you till you were an adult. That is such a treasure. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the book tips Kalle. And yes, completely agree about the 9-5. It´s not about not wanting to work, it´s just that some of us need to do it on our own terms at least to some level.
Hi Kalle - thank you for sharing - I´ve just ordered all 3 books for my sons for Christmas! Loved this video - it was so simple but you shared so much of yourself - thanks. It would be great if Christina could share her best 3 books too. sending love xxx
Hey Kalle, I am happy to be able to watch you again. it has been a while since I tuned in because the job I do takes a lot of my time. watching you again feels like I am getting back into normal. watching you ,Christina and the dogs just makes me delighted and gives me good FOOD FOR THOUGHT. Best wishes for 2022.
Thank you for sharing - I had a similar experience moving to the middle of nature from cities - it was like shifting to living life in a completely different consciousness and rhythm. What I love about the subtext of what you're saying here is that we have the space and time to recalibrate our inner worlds and to come home to our self by exposing ourselves to new energy - which is so powerful. Really appreciate that you're sharing some of your "coming home" story. It's such good medicine for people these days. (I also make videos on RUclips with a similar intention - Just started my RUclips journey actually ☺️ - on that note, thank you for your beautiful videos, totally inspired by your vision and work!) Sending my best to you and Christine from the Southwest of North America
Kalle, thanks for amazing video and reading recommendations! I really love to hear the stories about the simpler and life transforming worldview!
Hi Kalle, thank you for this video. I really appreciate your suggestions, as well as the link to audible. I watch a number of people on RUclips who are into nature, living off-grid, etc., and they can all have their interesting thoughts and ways that I enjoy very much, but I appreciate how you can think a little bit more about some things and the unique perspective you bring to that.
You are a bit like the philosopher in the woods, and I can imagine it would be so much fun to read one of these books and then sit around a quiet fire at night sipping tea and talking with you about what they all mean. :) I will definitely be listening to the first one, so thank you again! 🌲
I caught this video today, and I remembered why I hadn’t watched this channel for a long time, and why I hadn’t subscribed. Ads at the beginning, ads in the middle, ads at the end; and the feeling that I’m not really watching life in rural Sweden, but I’m watching a Swede with an online business.
😄
I have to say I have only just discovered your channel, and I may be obsessed!! I know I will find myself impatiently waiting for your next video....all the time! Thanks for sharing your story with the world.
Thank you for your recommendations I am listening to "Breath" on audible. I am enjoying it, I understand now that I am a pulmonaut and have been for several years, I thought I was alone in this but it seems that there are many people that have explored this form of medicine. Thanks again
That someone wrote a whole book about breathing is amazing! So much knowledge out there for the most basic things in life
The first thing they teach you in monk school (at least some) is to breathe.💛
It is a brilliant book. I have just been in a very different situation to Kalle - stuck in one room for three weeks - not able to go outside and crappy food to eat. I had James Nestor's book with me and I stayed healthy and sane with breathing - plus daily cold showers, Qi Gong and 5-Tibetan Rites (recommended by Nestor)
@@sallyunderwood66 I cant imagine how that has been for you. Im glad you had a good book with you. Stay sane ok! Light and love.
Hey, Great Books! Here is my top 3:
1. The Little Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (philosophical)
2. The Wim Hof Method - Wim Hof (health)
3. 12 Rules for Life - Jordan Peterson (philosophical)
I will read company of one since i am building my own business right now :)
Thank you for your great videos, take care!
The Little Prince is defo in my top 10 too!
Jordan Peterson is a run of the mill Christian conservative who has become famous for spouting generic self help tips. His form of self help is very much part of the illusion that Kalle has managed to break away from. This self help serves to make you a better cog in the machine that is the corporate run industrial society (the destruction of the world). It makes you interpret political and social issues as your own. Jordan Peterson himself is right wing, the right wing push for keeping 'tradition' (these traditions are part of the illusion and destruction of the world) while also advocating for industrial and technological growth. Technological growth and 'keeping tradition' are not compatible. You cannot have growth without drastic societal change. And this societal change is propelling us towards more degeneracy and destruction. He is not able to see this because he has fallen back on and takes comfort in the illusion of Christianity (a system of control that has allowed the mass of workers to slave away all day destroying the planet for monetary gain of the oligarchy). I strongly recommend to stay away from Peterson's destructive thinking and to instead see behind the veil: Who benefits from getting people to follow his ideology.
@@Tom-sf7cm I am glad you have your own opinion but i dont appreciate if people put words/thoughts into my mouth/mind. Its in my top 3 list because it helped me a lot in my life so it is very personal. I grew up and was raised christian and i am very close to nature and i call myself minimalist. There are many ways to understand his books and I took the best for myself. It helped me to get a stronger mind and get my life together. I am now self employed and not working for any big corporation. If you are a true christian you will not waste money on materialistic things. The biggest problem we have as a society ist over consumerism which leads to all the climate problems we have right now. I can 100% assure you that it has nothing to to with any Ideology but with people spending money on stuff they dont really need. Thats why i like kalle living a simple minimalistic life. He is a big inspiration and i am happy that i will soon live like him because i am self employed.
The only thing i might agree with you is, that some people get blinded by JP and worship him like some kind of god. Stil i can totally recommend his book.
12 Rules for Life... Excelent book. Peterson is an absolute genius!
Love love your choices! Thanks for sharing 👍
I love the story about your Dad calling his “boss”, that’s so precious and adorable. Thanks for sharing it Kalle 💚 great book recommendations too!
Thank you Kalle
3. Breath, the new science of a lost art - James Nestor (health) 1:40
2. Company of One - Paul Jarvis (career) 4:52
1. Ishmael - Daniel Quinn (philosophy) 8:25
Absolutely thank you so much, can't wait to read all of them and keep on learning 💪🏻
This is wonderful Kalle, ! Love the first book and love audible. Audible saved me from a dark anxious time in my life. thank you for taking the time and being such an inspiration just by being You. I moved to the edge of the Saharan desert in Luxor Egypt, I had arrived here with curiosity and one small suitcase, 3 years ago..
Sounds like an adventure.
Thanks for sharing your book recommendations. I added them all to my reading list. But I really wanted to thank you for sharing your childhood memory of your dad making time for you. It brought a smile to my face and I thank you for that. You’ve got a new sub.
These books are fantastic. 📚 The video is even better. Thank you, Kalle!
Aw, thank you Mary ❤
Books definitely change lives. "Day of the Jackal" by Frederick Forsyth, (book, not the movie) changed my young teen-aged life. It was the first time it occurred to me (no kidding) that there are two sides to every story.
I really loved your fantastic story about your Dad calling his “boss” and asking if he could please stay home so he could spend time with his son. What a great memory from your childhood.
The book that I will start with is Company of One… I feel it applies to me as a small business owner who works from home.
Thank you so much! Loved the way you made this video and recommendations! I would want to read all of them. However, my first attention is drawn to Company of One!
Love to your family of four!
James Nestor’s book changed my whole outlook on health. It provided a new schema through which to understand my major in exercise science.
Aw, I'm so happy it had the same impact on you!
Just bought all 3 books, super excited about them all!
Yay! Hope you will like them 😍
Hi Kalle, hope you, Christine, and both pups are all well! This was very interesting! I love books and love to read. I have been a fan of Audible for a while now as I am often able to listen to audiobooks as I work. I’m heading there now to use my credit on Ishmael! I plan on reading (listening) to the other two as well! I really enjoy listening to people talk of books that have truly changed them! Thanks 🙏
Hey Cheryl 😊 Happy to hear that! You're gonna love Ishmael!
Thank you, Kalle. That is an interesting selection of books. I put Breathe on hold for me at the library right away. Last year I was on a run and had to stop, because I felt so exhausted. After that day, my pace has gotten slower and slower and I think it is because of shallow breathing (because I catch myself holding my breath all the time).
Wow same- holding my breath!
WOW!!! I can't wait to read these Books!!! Thank you for sharing!! All of your videos are comforting and Amazing!! Keep doing what you are doing!🙏✌🌻
I hope you're gonna enjoy them ❤ Aw, thank you!! 🥰
I am since recently forced to start the keto diet due to neurological health matters that have been showing up since one year and half, including adding a few breathing exercises. I cannot believe in such short time how much difference I see. I say I was forced because of health matters but I believe my body was refusing to continue with old patterns (although it wasn't too bad) the change is significant. I think we are forced everytime more to really look closer to what we are eating. We can't reach for sustainability only externally, it must align also internal with our health habits.
Thank you for sharing the books and this conversation. 🙂🙏
Thanks so much for your list and the video. I loved the story about your dad. That’s a beautiful thing.
This video was in my recommendations and it's my first time seeing your channel. I immediately love that you went from the city to a cabin. Then your first book on the list is one on my to buy list. The second I haven't heard of but now I need to look into it. The third is on my shelf and also changed my life. Subscribing for sure.
The whole "Ishmael" trilogy were the books that changed me. They have had little effect on my conduct, but they challenged my world view. Living with my world view and primal philosophies constantly challenged is very humbling, but I hope that sense of being challenged remains with me from now on.
My college English professor, had me stay after class one night, and handed me "My Ismael" and said, " I think you're ready for this, it will help you in your classroom teaching. I read it, got the other two, and it changed the way I thought about the world and how I interacted with my HS Students in class.
I saw this video in recommendations, clicked on it. I got to say, I'm definitely buying all these books. I do not know what it is about your energy, but it's so sincere and calming, I like it. You have another subscriber man!
Thank you so much for sharing your recommendations! Ordered all three books.
Thanks for the video! A small live where you feel you own emotions and your mind is truly the best.
Ishamael!!! I have recommended that book so many times. I don't know how many people actually read it, but the concepts are so important.
Hi Kalle. Thank you for sharing. This is the reassurance I needed.
Thank you so much for these recommandations!
I am torn between Ishmael and Company of One as I am going self employed in a month but looove everything that is written to make us rethink our lifestyle!
"The Omnivore's Dilemma" was that book that separated life before and life after for me. Can't wait to read Ishmael!

I have read such books through and through my life thinking during my very young days thinking as if I have to fix my lost soul to a standard of which the authors of such books have set. Reading what anyone wrote was always a human dialogue and all ideologies and philosophies were fascinating till the next life situation showed up. I read many new age books, about Buddhism and too many to explain. It was always a fall and stand up on my own until I realized I am not just a soul but I have a Spirit in which all I need for this life and beyond is Divinely and precisely stored up. It was Bible that gave me the way and the truth about everything that exists or beyond. I am not relating to The Bible as a religious book, but more a relational one that only one's spirit can reveal. I am now seeing why this world is full of humans suffering including my self and thankful for the Bible for opening my eyes to the HEAVENS❣❣❣
Thank you for the list. I'm fortunate my local library has these. I have something to work with thanks to your sharing.
“Breath”is on top of the list of my Christmas break reads. Actually, I’m reading it as we speak…as I cannot put it down. I will receive the two other books on Tuesday. Can’t wait…!!!
Amazing books, Thanks kindly Kalle 🙏🌲
Thank you for these great recommendations.
Breathe first. Everything starts with the breath. Then Ishmael. Every journey starts with a step. Then Company of One bc even though Im a teacher in public school theres a lot to learn from the self.
OOh OOH OH KALLE!! Yay! I read Ismael when I was 17 and absolutely LOVED it! And like you said, It's like looking past the matrix....aaaah so nice you mentioned it!! Thank you!!
I already have audible and just purchased Ishmael. I’ve been listening to As A Man Thinketh by James Allen. Twice in 2 days and probably a few more times to really get it ingrained in my cells....
Looking forward to Ishmael 👍😉❤️🙏
Wow! They all sound really interesting 🙌 Tack för tipsen!
Thank you Kalle for this video and the great suggestions.
I’m going to read / listen to them all.
I love thought provoking books. I listen to audible everyday ..I must have a hundred books on my phone. Thank you 🙏
Hey Victoria! Good choice, that was the answer I was hoping for 😉
It's not about how many books we read though... It's about how much from them we apply
@@djVania08 . Every book I’ve read has given me something good to take away and apply or has given me food for my soul🙏
Love this channel Kalle!...inspiring..😎👍
This video spoke to me. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
Thanks for this video ❤
Kalle, thank you for sharing your book list with us. Ishmael sounds just up my alley. I very much do not, nor ever have, vibed with the consumer driven world around us. I think a good number of your viewers are seeking a simpler, quieter, even more holistic life. They, like me, see the many benefits to a great number of modern things, but want to live in a world full of artisans, not factories. Balance.
I think so too, that's why I wanted to recommend that book ❤
I know EXACTLY what you mean when you couldn't even put into words what the book Ishmael did for you. That is exactly how I felt when reading a book called Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer ❤
I love Braiding Sweetgrass! I can read it over and over again.
I bought this book for my sister who is a horticulturist, must read it myself!!
@@Livemindfully247 It's the best!
@@lynnmichelle5482 Oh I'm sure she LOVED it! I highly recommend everyone read it :)
“Small wonder that spell means both a story told, and a formula of power over living men.” - J.R.R. Tolkien. I remember the Breath book from your Patreon post, and I am thoroughly intrigued! I signed up for Audible and decided to use my credit for Ishmael though, since I have trouble focusing while reading fiction sometimes. I'd say this is a good start to my "read one book a month" new year's intention 👍🏻 Thanks Kalle, and I hope you and Christine are getting better, slowly but surely 💙
Thank you Kalle, I will surely read your recommendations.
Absolutely inspiring! Thank you for that !
Hello Kalie. I wanted to say thank you so much for this video. I ordered and read the Company of One book based on your comments, and it was been an excellent teacher as I take steps to launch my own company of one. Many thanks for this thoughtful video!
Sista boken du pratade om är definitivt boken jag ska läsa. Kommer läsa den, vill ändå ge dig beröm och tacka dig för dina videos. Bara genom att lyssna på dig får en att vilja ändra livsstil och ändra ens tankesätt och försöka bli bättre på allt man gör. Fortsätt sprid din kunskap och tankar kring livsstil. Tack! 🥰
Tack snälla, va fint att höra Ida ❤
Thank you so much Kalle. I've just started to reduce my time on the computer (except for watching your videos of course 😉) so these recommendations are very welcome. Look forward to reading them because I'm attracted to all three. It's like a Christmas present! Lots of love to you, Christine and the dogs! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Hello Kalle☺ thank U for this wonderful video. I've been looking for an app to listen to audiobooks for such a long time and your recommendations are just the best - amazing, interesting books I cannot wait to listen to/read☺💖 Thank you, thank you, thank you. Wish U a beautiful day😍
Then you're gonna love Audible ❤ You too my friend 🥰
Hello Kalle! The dad story was lovely and funny :) and Ishmael definitely sounds interesting. I've read Sapiens, shown during the ad, good pick ;)
Influences are a great topic to explore. I do learn a lot from your videos, given my background, but this can add depth.
(As for my comment on last video, this way felt fine.)
Kalle, you are very honest and I appreciate that!
I am so glad that I found your channel and thank you for the book recommendation, definitely gonna read those.
Hope you're gonna like them 😊❤
There's nothing like a good book recommendation. Thanks a lot for sharing, Kalle! Ishmael sounds really inspiring, will definitely read it :)
I must admit that no one really thinks of how they breathe until someone truly focuses on it....I think I'd be more interested to read Nestor's and Javis's books....the philosophical one is also insightful, but the second and third books would be more applicable to me at the point that I currently I'm in life.....thank you so much for sharing, Kalle.....Please pass my greetings to Christine.....
Just yesterday I got this channel in my page and happen to see soo many videos till now , and still watching
Great recommendations! Thanks, Kalle. Greetings from Belgium
Ishmael has just hit the top of my Christmas list - thank you for these recommendations, please do more of these - and would love to hear Christine's suggestions too. 🌲
Happy to hear it! I promise you're gonna love it ❤
Thanks for recommendations! All 3 of them seem very live changing...so i'm planning to read all of them!
Good choice 😉❤
Great video Kalle. Time for me to rethink some things.
Thanx for sharing your experience about books. Its informative indeed. I will start reading these books too. "Breath " seems to be interesting.
I'm glad you found happiness, but I can't really imagine that you can resume yourself to three books. Mainly the desire for change was already there, and you found some guides in this three books, but mostly and surely all of the other books influenced you on a subconscious level as well. I'm glad you found happiness, it is indeed a precious gem.
“JAWS” by Kahn & Ehrlich. Oral posture & nose breathing are most important. 🙏
"Ishmael" changed my life too! It shocked me out of many of my beliefs.
Thank you for your inspiring video and for being here. It's time to go back to basics 🙏🌍💚
Great video as always! Long live the cabin in the woods!!
just ordered all 3 books! Great video - thank you.😀
Hi Kalle, thanks for the recommendation of the tree books. It's interesting, I'm the first time on your channel and exactly then you speak about breathing - my biggest topic actually, because five weeks ago I launched a book which is called 'just breathe -toolbox' with video exercises where I also speak about this amazing topic, about our breath. So thank you once more for making this topic conscious.

Great channel kalle I have subscribed Best wishes from UK England 👍 Phil
Thank you, you have reinvigorated my appetite for reading again. Or in this case listening. Growing up we had a library of books in our house. From the classics to stories , novels documentaries and everything in between. Text books on every subject. It was such a wealth of knowledge. I'm just now knowing of this wonderful technology of audio books. Thank you.
Great, thanks! I will read them all, already started Ismael!
Whew...I am fortunate to find your channel.
And the irony kills me that I sitting here watching RUclips and needing the opposite. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Carrots are a perfect foot.
I feel the most important thing we can do in life is to find the good in all things, especially the good in hardship, the lessons learned from failure and difficulty, and the growth that comes from resiliency. Be encouraging, be a pillar, and someone to lean on. Be the lighthouse in the storm.
People over profits. Purpose over destiny. Teach, and be teachable.
Hey Kalle. You might enjoy "The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible" by Charles Eisenstein. Definitely a before/after book.
Its free to download. Great book!
Loved the story about your dad calling his "boss" - funny and powerful statement. Thank you.
Thanks. I enjoyed hearing your book suggestions. I'm going to try my local library first.
That story about your dad is great and shows wisdom.
The experience speaks ... calm & focused 👍
Ishmael had the same effect on me; it completely changed the way I saw the world! It is a really important book. In fact, we buy cheap copies periodically so we can give them away. It is not hard reading, but it can be annoying. Stick with it: you have to get all the way to the end to fully understand it!
When Ismael was first published, I read it. And yep it was life changing. I’m glad it still is!
Lovely! Tack så mycket!!
