I love to read. I always have. In elementary school, my parents would threaten to take away my books because I would stay up all night reading them. For the past eight years I have been on a self-help/spiritual/mental well-being kick. It has been more than a passion it has been an obsession. Lucky for you, I am going to share my top 6 impactful books so you don’t need to read the hundreds of books I read to get to the good stuff. With all things though I believe, people, books and events find us when we are ready for them. So if you read through my list and none of them interest you, or call to you…trust that. The books that are meant for you now will find you.

1.The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, Don Miguel Ruiz.

This small but mighty book is so profound yet simple. I read this book years ago and it’s simple 4 steps still ring in my ears.

2.The Dream Dictionary from A to Z,Theresa Cheung

I love this book because I love to interpret my dreams. This Encyclopedia is fun and user friendly. Theresa also has about 20 other books about dreams, connecting to your intuition and so much more.

3.Existential Kink. Unmask Your Shadow and Embrace Your Power by Carolyn Lovewell.

I had never read anything like this. Carolyn offers such an interesting perspective on life, and our problems and she is saying the same thing others are, which I think is where the truth lies.

4.Maybe It’s You: Cut the Crap. Face Your Fears. Love Your Life, Lauren Handel Zander.

I love Lauren because she is blunt and sweet all at the same time. She gives you the truth about you, and then helps you to create the life of your dreams. Telling the truth for me took a lot of courage and a lot of time. This book is filled with different exercises so you can get real with yourself, and then others.

5.Breath, James Nestor.

This book is filled with science, data AND it is interesting. He makes a compelling argument to start paying attention to you breath, training it, and closing your mouth to sleep at night.

6.The Empowered Wife. Six Surprising Secrets for Attracting Your Husband’s Time, Attention and Affection, Laura Doyle.

This woman is a genius. Her tips on being in relationship with a man work. And for me was very confronting and made me realize, again to look in the own mirror and own my crap and focus on myself.
