00:00Hi, I'm Lo Bosworth, the founder and CEO of Love Wellness, and I am about to give Marie Claire

00:07a sneak peek into my library. Welcome to Shelf Portrait.

00:18So here we are in the little corner of my room, and I have maybe 40 books. I think there's a

00:25couple more in a different part of the house. My library, I mean, does anybody really have a

00:30library? We have a bookshelf, right? But I have a lot of different types of books. I love fiction,

00:37nonfiction, all over the place. I'm a big reader, and especially lately, I've been trying to read

00:42at least two books a month. Get off my phone, get off TikTok. One of my first favorites is this one,

00:49My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a very interesting book. It basically is the story of a woman who sort

00:58of sleeps for an entire year or more in her New York City apartment and has a friend come by and

01:03give her sustenance. But for anybody who has ever been depressed, has anxiety, anything like that,

01:11this is a really interesting read. I feel like it really helps you get outside of yourself. It

01:16certainly has helped me. So this is one of my top five books for sure. This is less of a read and

01:21more of a guide, but this is Marie Kondo, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying. And this book,

01:30I think I bought this copy actually in Thailand at the airport. I was on a vacation a couple years ago,

01:38and I was going through or about to go through a really bad breakup. And the life-changing magic of

01:46tidying actually saved me, truly. Clean house equals a clean mind. And I have been subscribing to this

01:56method of tidying up, not exactly, but I would say 70%. I'm not very good at folding in the way that

02:02Marie Kondo suggests, but I have really become a minimalist because of this book. And I absolutely

02:11love it and recommend it. It's an oldie, but a goodie. All right, next, Robert Green. He's one of

02:15my favorite authors. And this is the 33 Strategies of War. You might think I'm crazy for suggesting that

02:23you read this book. But if you want to learn how to negotiate, how to hold your own, and how to

02:30interpret other people's behavior, whether it's in business, dating, friendship, like truly anything,

02:36this is the book for you. I absolutely love it. And any budding entrepreneurs out there should

02:43should definitely give this a read. This is a book that I'm reading right now, but I'm almost done.

02:47And so I'm going to give it a shout out. This is The Idiot. And it is a really fun, funny,

02:55sort of coming-of-age story of a student at Harvard and sort of the mistress she gets into.

03:03So I love it. It's a Pulitzer Prize finalist. It's definitely worth a read.

03:08For anyone into health and wellness, it's my own book. This is Love Yourself Well. It is available

03:15right now. I wrote this book to really tell my own health story about how I was dealing with

03:22vitamin deficiencies, gut health issues, vaginal health problems, and how I was able to get better.

03:28All three organs are connected. And if you take care of your gut, that means that your brain and

03:33vagina is going to be happy too. And this book also includes an incredible five-week plan to bring your

03:39body back to homeostasis. If you've been dealing with anything like gut health issues, mental health

03:44issues, vaginal health issues, this is the book for you. It took almost two years to bring this book to

03:48life. I worked with medical professionals at Love Wellness, spoke to a lot of doctors,

03:54worked with Janine Higbee, who's a certified nutritionist, to come up with our five-week plan.

03:59The book has a ton of evidence-based research in it also, so it required a lot of reading before

04:05putting all the thoughts together on paper. So what is my favorite genre? I think it has to be

04:13non-fiction, anything that is science-related, which is probably why I love running my company and why

04:24I wrote a book that was very similar in that, in that genre. I love David Sedaris. His short stories

04:31are so incredible. And we used to do a lot of books on tape growing up on long car trips with my family

04:38and David Sedaris. We would always give him a listen. Favorite childhood book? For me, it was

04:43more of a series. I loved anything that was Ramona Quimby. Remember Ramona and her sister Beatrice? And I

04:50think it's because I have a sister and we had a funny relationship like them. My favorite place to

04:55read? It's got to be the bath. I take a tub every day and yeah, the bath is a great place to read.

05:04In New York City, there's a great bookstore called McNally Jackson in Soho and that is where I go to

05:10get most of my books. It's an incredible bookstore. If you ever come to New York, definitely visit

05:15McNally Jackson or The Strand. Thank you so much to Marie Claire's Shelf Portrait. Thanks for hanging

05:21out with me in my tiny little nook of a library. And don't forget to check out Love Yourself Well. It is

05:28available wherever books are sold. If you want the gut, brain, vaginal bliss you deserve. See ya.
