Let’s keep building our libraries together!
Auto – self-directed
Biblio – books/library
Therapy – Healing
So, autobibliotherapy = self-directed healing via books
In this 3 hour playlist, I will summarise my library (as of November 2024) down to 15 book recommendations that will significantly impact the effectiveness and depth of your inner work journey.
Aims:
• To provide a structured curriculum to complete 5+ years of scattered Inner Work in 1 focused year
• To introduce you to a wide and overlapping set of theories and modalities to approach your inner work from all angles, including:
– unconscious and shadow work
– height psychology
– personality development
– Life coaching and plans/guide for the future
– Philosophy (stoicism)
– ACT
– Identifying values and mentors
– A model for healthy modern masculinity
– Anthropology (the study of human beings and their ancestors through time and space and in relation to physical character, environmental and social relations, and culture)
– Transpersonal psychology and psychosynthesis
– Inner critic and parts work
– Integral psychology and spiral dynamics
All with key books for each element to take the study further
• a) To address various interrelated aspects of yourself instead of isolating elements arbitrarily, and
b) to formulate a plan on how to do this inner work in a structured manner
• To recommend effective well-known books that you can (likely) discuss with others, as well as more niche selections to go deeper into your own study
• To increase your attention span so that you can sit down and read, leading to lower screen time

I am also over on Instagram at Mr Clark's Library

(Annoyingly, Mr Clark's Classroom was already taken!)
On a personal note, I can't believe how much I've improved on camera as well since the 2nd December 2024. It feels far more natural, and I've also been able to improve the sound quality dramatically since the first few videos. I'm looking to improve much further, but happy with the progress so far.
Some of these books are easy to read.
Some are considerably more challenging (in content and in length).
Some are very well known.
Some are very niche.
Take your time, but make sure to prioritise the reading.
Even if it is just 20 minutes a day, it all adds up.
I'm journeying alongside you. Simply reach out if you need me. 🤝
first 😀
Thank you ❤
