📚 Some books aren’t just stories…
… they’re safe spaces.
They don’t just fill your time – they fill your soul.
They remind you who you are, what matters, and that it’s okay to feel lost sometimes.
Today, I’m sharing my go-to comfort books – the ones I return to over and over again, especially on tough days.
💌 1. “The Alchemist” – Paulo Coelho
Every reread brings new meaning. This book always tells me:
Listen to your heart. And follow your dreams – they already know the way.
🐚 2. “Many Lives, Many Masters” – Brian L. Weiss
A book that made me rethink time, souls, and everything in between. It’s calming in a cosmic way – especially when life feels messy or meaningless.
🧡 3. “Tuesdays with Morrie” – Mitch Albom
A gentle reminder of what truly matters. Family. Friendship. Moments. Love. It’s the kind of book you hug after finishing.
🌼 4. “If Life Is a Hundred Years, Then Why Rush?” – Phạm Lữ Ân
This Vietnamese collection of short essays slows me down. It tells me it’s okay to breathe, to feel, and to be human.
✨ 5. “Everything I Know About Love” – Dolly Alderton
Messy, honest, beautiful. Like a big sister telling her stories so you don’t feel so alone in yours.
☁️ When do I read these books?
When I’m tired of my phone
When everything feels a bit “meh”
On slow Sunday mornings
Before bed, instead of endless scrolling
💬 What about you?
Do you have a favorite book that feels like a friend?
Leave a comment – I’d love to add more titles to my “emotional first aid kit” 📖💖
With love,
