These are a few of my favourite things

A stunning young man called Zee asked me if I would share a few of my favourite reads with him. I thought I may as well share them with you too.

The books I dip into over and over

and often re-read are the following:

  1. The Four Agreements (Don Miguel Ruiz)
  2. Edgar Cayce’s Guide to Spirituality for Busy People (Mark Thornton)
  3. The Greatness Guide (Robin Sharma)
  4. The Power of Your Subconscious Mind (Joseph Murphy)
  5. Daring Greatly (Brene Brown)
  6. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families (Stephen Covey)
  7. The New Psycho-Cybernetics (Maxwell Maltz)
  8. Loving What Is (Byron Katie)
  9. The Art of Possibility (Rosamund and Benjamin Stander)

These books are easy to read. Once you have read through them, it’ great to jump to a relevant passage or chapter when needed. I believe that the knowledge shared in these books has the power to transform your life.

Get reading! Get changing! Get motivated!

Lastly if you know meditation is good for you

and you battle to focus (like me!), try the guided meditations on this website. There are plenty to choose from and my husband and I listen to them often:

And finally (another lastly) if you know of any great meditation apps or apps that have helped you transform your life, share them in a comment so we can all learn and grow.

The spiritual life is not a life
before, after, or beyond our everyday existence.
No, the spiritual life can only be real
when it is lived in the midst of the pains and joys
of the here and now.

Henri Nouwen

    Thank you ever so kindly for sharing, i get excited when i come across a referral on books i haven’t read yet. The power of the subconscious mind is a great read and i am currently reading Psycho cybernetics, i see you have it listed at number 7.

      Thanks for the comment Zivanai. We obviously enjoy the same books :-). Incidentally, perhaps I should have mentioned that the numbering had no significance. I am not sure if I could have listed any of the books as my MOST favourite!
