Even more book recommendations about self-love

You are a badass

With the subtitle: Stop doubting yourself and start a fantastic new life. The nice thing about this book is that the author is American, while she has done everything to make this book as non-American as possible. It seems like you are reading a sober Dutch book. Good, especially because it is, among other things, about something ‘woolly’ like self-love.

How to Love Yourself – Louise Hay

You may know Louise Hay. She invented a completely new genre of books around self-love. In fact, she is the original author of the well-known affirmation exercises, including the exercise where you say “I love you” in the mirror.

This book is the sequel to her famous book ‘You can heal your life’. In that book it was also about other things, such as nutrition, but in this sequel Louise Hay specifically focuses on self-love.

I Love Me – David Hamilton

If you’ve seen those documentaries from that Hayhouse club, such as Heal and What the bleep do we know, then you know that one Scottish gentleman too. It is not without reason that he is one of the main speakers in these documentaries. Be sure to check out his self-love book.

Speak with love, listen with compassion, Thich Nhat Hanh

Books about compassion should definitely not be missing from this list. So you’ve seen a few self-compassion books in this list – and Thich Nhat Hanh definitely belongs there. You achieve self-love through compassion, acceptance and meditation. Be inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh.

The gifts of imperfection

In this book, imperfection is equated with vulnerability by Brene Brown. And that vulnerability is the key to self-love. In a nutshell, don’t hold back yourself – not even your love.

Unf*ck yourself

We conclude this recommended list with a real American book about self-love. This book is pure power. No psychologization but just a kick in the butt. Subtitle: Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Life.
