Jewish Latin Princess

Good Uplifting Quarantine Reads

May 11, 2020 by Yael Leave a Comment

B”H

Looking for some good uplifting reads this quarantine? Look no more cuz these are my favorites of the “season.” I know I haven’t posted books here for a very long time (although I have on Instagram). It doesn’t mean that I haven’t been reading. It’s just that I went through ups and downs in my reading, and not much really inspired me when I read it, until this quarantine! Yah, this is how I’ve coped: sticking my head inside books. I’ve armed myself with super great reads and I’m loving each and every one of these. I think you will too!

With All Due Respect by Nikki Haley

You won’t be able to put it down! And you’ll be sad when it ends. You just want to her to keep going and going… and hey run for President for that matter.

A Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl

I had read this book many years ago, in my early twenties. I honestly don’t think I had the maturity to really benefit from the wisdom in this book, which makes me kind of disappointed at myself. But hey, I’ve grown a lot since then, so let’s leave it at that. In any case, it was great to finally read it again and with a more mature head. If you’ve never read it, which I doubt, then perhaps this is a great time.

I Love When That Happens by Schwartzie

Charming, delightful… I’m so glad I finally read this book. You will smile big all throughout the book. Great inspiring read about an amazing person. Read what I said about it here.

Don’t Keep Your Day Job by Cathy Heller

I’m almost done with this one and I’m loving it. I’d been meaning to read it for a while, but after I had Cathy on Jewish Latin Princess Podcast last week, I was compelled to finally read it and I’m glad I did. It’s full of inspiration and actionable steps for the creative who really wants to pursue their passion and make a living at it! You know I’m all for that! P.S. My interview with Cathy is beyond awesome. Catch it on Jewish Latin Princess Podcast right here.

Hello, Fears by Michelle Poler

You know I’m big on facing fears, so you knew I was going to read this, right? But, I was so moved that Michelle chose my review to put in the cover of her book! In fact, she didn’t even know it was me who wrote it when she chose it. Check out the true story behind how my review ended up im Michelle’ book here. P.S. Catch Michelle on Jewish Latin Princess Podcast right here.

Now, tell me what have you read this quarantine? What should be my next read?

    Being a guest on JLP was a true delight!  Easy, quick, hassle-free, and most of all…FUN!  Yael made the entire experience feel like a chat with a long-lost friend, and I finished with the interview feeling invigorated and excited to re-focus on my mission.  May Hashem give us MANY more women like Yael in this world to hasten our righteous Moshiach NOW!!

    What an honor to be interviewed by Yael. In my eyes, Yael's show is a place to glorify Judaism and the Jewish way of life, and I am humbled to have been invited to share my passion. Yael made me feel so comfortable and confident. Her easy going upbeat energy was felt way across the globe as if I was sitting right there next to her. I enjoyed every moment of the interview and couldn't believe that an hour and a half went by so fast;-) I look forward to connecting again soon. Yael, keep up the good work!

    Yael de JLP no es solo mi gran amiga sino que es una host maravillosa, con la voz más dulce y hace las preguntas más asertivas. Te hace sentir en casa estando tan lejos y en un micrófono. Yael es el perfecto ejemplo de mujer mamá judia trabajadora que lo puede todo! Y todo lo que hace lo hace perfecto. No solo recomiendo escuchar sus podcast que son maravillosos sino seguir su blog y sus ocurrentes historias y los mejores tips.

    Yael is a delight! My interview with her for Jewish Latin Princess was like talking to an old friend. Her questions are thought-provoking, insightful and generous. Her warm approach allowed me to be myself, and I loved having the opportunity to share my story in such an engaging way.

  • Michelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear FacerMichelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear Facer

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.

    By far the highlight of my week was interviewing with Yael for JLP! I felt like I plugged into an outlet of inspiration and human connection. Yael has brains, spunk, spirit and curiosity, all of which come through her thought-provoking and engaging interview style. Thank you, Yael, for including me in your podcast. You are a pleasure to join forces with!
