Top 10 Books That’ll Change Your Life

Top 10 Books That'll Change Your Life

I’ve been asking you guys for questions and comments over on Instagram lately and a few of you have asked me about my favorite books.

What an awesome question! I’ve read a TON of spiritual and personal development books over the last six years and I’ve learned so much along the way. In order to write this post, I had to take a deep dive into my files (and memory) to decide on which ones were the most impactful.

Books are one of my favorite ways to learn and gain new perspectives, especially from some of the people I admire the most in the world!

I read a lot actually and I generally have more than one book on the go at any time. Plus all my books have been digital in recent years I can’t rely on my bookshelf for a visual reminder of what I’ve read.

It was really fun to go back and re-visit everything! I confess that I have so many books on my to-read list that sometimes I think move from one book to the next far too quickly. It actually takes time to digest and implement everything you read! But I’m just always so excited to learn something new.

So in case you were curious, here’s my list of absolute favorite spiritual and personal development books. (Plus a few more, because why stop at ten really?)


10 Books That Will Change Your Life


Life Changing Book Recommendations #1:

Danielle Laporte: The Desire Map



The Desire Map

Full disclosure: I’ve had a girl crush on Danielle Laporte since her Style Statement days. She has such a wonderful way with words and she’s a true trailblazer in the way she looks at the world. I’ve learned a lot from her over the years (plus she’s also from Vancouver! *high five*) If you had to pick just ONE book to read on this list, I recommend this one. I’ve already written a whole article about just how well her concept of Core Desired Feelings works with the Law of Attraction (read it here). But don’t miss out on the book itself!

Buy The Desire Map here.


Life Changing Book Recommendations #2:

Pam Grout: ESquared



E-Squared

I honestly didn’t really know what this book was going to be about when I first picked it up! But honestly it’s amazing. Pam Grout is another perhaps less-known practitioners of the Law of Attraction. In this book, she offers several quantum reality experiments for you to play with! I love her playful and fearless attitude towards life and the Universe (or the FP, as she calls it).

Check E-Squared out here


Life Changing Book Recommendations #3:

Penney Peirce: Frequency: The Power of Personal Vibration



Frequency

This is the best book I’ve ever encountered on the subject of vibration, frequency and energy. If you’ve read all the Law of Attraction books and are ready to take your knowledge to the next level, be sure to check this one out!

Get Frequency here.


Life Changing Book Recommendations #4:

Phil Stutz & Barry Michels: The Tools



The Tools

As you might know, I have a psychology degree. But before I was even done my degree I knew I didn’t want to be a psychologist. There were several issues that lead to that decision but one of them was my frustration with actual tools to help people feel better! The Tools contains several easy-to-use tools that are highly applicable to anyone’s life. I also LOVE the fact that they fully acknowledge the similarity of spirituality and psychology, an opinion that’s rare in the psychology world.

Get The Tools here.


Life Changing Book Recommendations #5:

Neil Strauss: The Truth



The Truth

Surprised? Yes, I was too! You might know Neil Strauss as the author of the pick-up artist’s manual, The Game. (I read that too!) But trust me, there’s a lot of depth here! In this book, Neil chronicles his turn away from monogamy and then back again. But (like in The Game), the real story here is his deepening understanding of himself and common motivations in romantic relationships. I devoured this in a day and it has had an impact on the way I see relationships.

(Note: if you’re extremely conservative this might not be the relationship book for you!

Buy The Truth here.


Life Changing Book Recommendations #6:

Gay Hendricks: The Big Leap



The Big Leap

This book is mostly known for introducing the idea of an “upper limit problem”: the way in which we unwittingly put a limit on our own happiness levels. That’s an amazing concept in itself but my favorite part of this book is the explanation of Einstein-based relative time. (In fact, I did a blog post about that idea right here!)

Get The Big Leap here.


Life Changing Book Recommendations #7:

Jen Sincero: You Are A Badass



You Are A Badass

Have you ever read a book and wished you had written it yourself? That was this one for me! There’s so much in Sincero’s story that I resonate with! But the lessons are practical and highly-impactful. Plus this book is funny! If you’re looking for some self-help with a heap of humor, then make sure you check it out.

Buy You Are a Badass here


Life Changing Book Recommendations #8:

Marie Kondo: The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up



The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up

Okay this is fully NOT a spiritual book! This is a handbook to help you get your home in order, in a loving way. As you might know I am a huge believer in the power of our environment- especially in our home. That’s because we’re energetic beings and we’re constantly surrounded by energy. While the book is extremely practical, the methods seem highly spiritual in my mind! Basically, this book takes your hand and teaches you how to take care of the stuff in your home.

Life Changing Book Recommendations #9:

Eckhart Tolle: The Power Of Now



The Power of Now

Another classic work from another Vancouver-ite! I talk a lot here about the power of embracing the current moment; this book is where all of that originated. But truthfully, I’m due for a re-read.

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment


Life Changing Book Recommendations #10:

Paulo Coelho: The Alchemist



The Alchemist

The Alchemist is a beautiful little fictional book with some important life lessons. If you’re new to spirituality or LoA, this is a wonderful (and fast!) read that shows the power of faith in action.

Buy The Alchemist here.


Bonus Picks:

I could go on forever about this topic I guess so here are another few of my favorites:

The 5 Love Languages – Learn how to express love to your partner in a way they understand.

The Artist’s Way

E.T. 101: The Cosmic Instruction Manual – One of the first books I ever read about starseeds! If you’re open that idea, then be sure to check this out!

The Holographic Universe: The Revolutionary Theory of Reality – A dive into the quantum nature of our reality

Spirit Junkie: A Radical Road to Self-Love and Miracles One of the first books I read during my spiritual re-awakening. A great starting point for newbies!

You Can Heal Your Life – Learn how your mind can affect (and change) your health.

Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life – Byron Katie’s seminal mind management work.

The Celestine Prophecy: An Adventure – The first New Age book I ever read! (In my teens!)

Stop Saying You’re Fine: The No-BS Guide to Getting What You Want – A great book on developing accountability to yourself.

Robert Tennyson Stevens – Conscious Language – This book seriously changed the way I think about language.









So what about you guys? What books have had the biggest influence on you? Which are your favorites? I’d love to hear them! So let me know in the comments!

Right now, your SOUL is calling for your magic.S Right now, your SOUL is calling for your magic.So are you ready to answer the call?I know life doesn't seem so magical at times.And I also know that when you're down or feeling defeated it's REALLY EASY to forget one simple thing.The magic is IN you.And it always has been!Every time we tell ourselves that we're not strong enoughOr good enough or smart enoughOr that we need someone or something ELSE to swoop in and "fix" usWe're opting out of using OUR power.But none of that stuff means that you AREN'T magic.It simply means that you've FORGOTTEN and fallen out of touch.But every day brings us a new opportunity to connect with our TRUTH.So what are YOU going to do with your magic today?How can YOU decide to change your life for the better, even if only by the tiniest degree?If you feel like sharing, drop me a comment below!And if you need a little help unlocking your magic, then reach out! I'm looking for a few special souls who are ready to undo their old ways of being so they can BLOSSOM into their dream life. Is that you? Send me a DM to learn more!
The present creates the past.Or, in other words, The present creates the past.Or, in other words, your STORY about the who, the what, the why IS the only thing that matters.Mindset work won't change the facts of course.It's not going to go back in time to change things or make other people suddenly see the light.(Damnit!)But it can change the person you BECAME because of what happened.Sometimes we close ourselves off to our own miracles because we're clinging so hard to those old stories.When we think that because the past is set in stone, our stories have to stay the same too.I get it though! I used to be SHOCKINGLY ATTACHED to my sob story, firmly stuck in victim mode.All the time DREAMING about where I wanted to go--and confused as to why I wasn't there yet.Fortunately (after a lot of STRUGGLE) I opened my mind to change, massive shifts and MIRACLES.That's why I can tell you that getting stuck in wishing things were different cuts us off from both our power in the present and our ability to process.So know this my beautiful soul: the only liberation we need is our own.When you get brave enough to finally DO that, your whole world really will change.(& PS if you need a little help creating your own miracle, I have a few coaching spots open! Wanna learn more about how to apply this powerful work to your life? Send me a DM & let's chat!)
And now for a quick message from your Higher Self: And now for a quick message from your Higher Self:Love yourself enough to LET IT GOBreathe deep & have a happy Sunday my beautiful babes!
You are magic itself.And your desires have meani You are magic itself.And your desires have meaning for the WORLD.So if you really KNEW that you were here to feel happy and do the things that bring you joy, what would you be doing differently?If you’re like me, it’s too easy to forget our true divine nature.It’s too easy to believe our worries and limitations more than we trust ourselves and this beautiful journey.But if you could trust your magic for just a moment, what would change?If you knew your dreams where a matter of WHEN not if, how would this moment be different?All the magic you ever needed is IN you already. All you need to do right now is TUNE into it!

Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because you ALWAYS manifest from your subconscious mind.Meaning you WILL play out old programs and ideas over and over again.Until YOU decide enough's enough! And do the work to REPROGRAM your mind to reflect what it you want and who you need to be.But sometimes, this work doesn't FEEL like it's doing anything.Those little tiny shifts on the inside are close to invisible--which might even make you doubt that it's happening at all.But trust me gorgeous, it IS.Keep taking tiny steps forward.Keep doubling down on who you WANT to be.TRUST the process and understandThat little by little, bit by bitIt all adds upUntil one day you look around and realize: I'm already there.
