The 1000 self-help books that shaped my life - with Toni Jones

from Another Way · host Selina Barker and Toni Jones

Oh my goodness, this was such a rich and inspiring conversation and I now cannot WAIT to go through Toni’s debut book ‘You (A Beginner’s Guide)’ - with Toni’s Shelf-Help community.In fact before I say anything more, order your copy of ‘You’ BEFORE 26th MAY - it is a limited edition and you won’t get a chance to get on your hands on it after that!If you haven’t come across Toni Jones before, she is a former journalist turned bibliotherapist and the founder of the Shelf Help Club - the world’s first dedicated self-help book club, which has been running for almost a decade.And over the past ten years she’s read 1,000+ self-help books (yes. ONE THOUSAND), interviewed hundreds of authors and wellbeing experts, and built a global community inspiring 25,000+ to read, reflect, and apply self-development. And now she has written a book - published by the brilliant The Pound Project - called YOU (The Beginner’s Guide), which distils the most important lessons from that decade immersed in the world of self-help. But not only that, she herself has developed a three-step framework designed to help people get to know themselves better and design lives they get to really enjoy - and hearing her talk about this three-step framework got me so excited to read and DO the book.So dive in and join us for this juicy conversation - my first Substack Live! There are a few moments where the internet glitches a little - but I guess that is the nature of LIVE recordings and it doesn’t take away from the power of the conversation. Thank you Eva Lydon 🌿, Claire Venus ✨, Ruth, Sharon Bernard and many others for tuning into the live video.Let’s all go and order Toni’s book and do it together!x Selina This is a public episode.
