There are a million different self help books out there it can be overwhelming to even know where to start. To help ease the overwhelm I have compiled a list of some of the books I have found helpful in my practice as well as in my personal life. Remember, there is no one perfect book that I can offer you. Everyone is different and what clicks and resonates with one person might seem like a bunch of ka-fooey to another. Take what is helpful and leave the rest. Happy Reading - or Audiobook-ing :)
