Eatyourkimchi Studio's video: Simon here I made my own channel Here s the first video

Hey. I've started a new YouTube channel, called Simon's Book Club. Every month, we'll be picking a book about the science of psychology, wellbeing, and consciousness, and I'll make an episode discussing it in length. I'm really into these books and ideas, and want to share my thoughts on, experiences with, and passion for them online. Also, I'll be hosting book clubs for these books, both online and off-line. If you're interested in joining the book club, click here: ☞ http://www.patreon.com/simonsbookclub I'll be posting these videos on my new YouTube channel from now on. ☞ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS8XJpFXbmPflCJ0uG40d9Q Get the book: Transcend - The New Science of Self-Actualization. ☞ https://amzn.to/3GH1esR Check out Scott Barry Kaufman's site: ☞ https://scottbarrykaufman.com See how self-actualized you are: ☞ http://www.selfactualizationtests.com Also, give his podcast a listen.
