In the different arenas I work in, coaching, teaching, private practice, meditating, I’m often asked for book suggestions. I’m happy to share those I have found helpful.
In this post I’m sharing books that fall into different categories than the usual. I loved reading and that opened my eyes, mind and heart. Most aren’t the ones usually seen in a list put together by a psychologist’s, but don’t be deceived by their common absence. It’s a menagery of deep reading. There are a couple novels, poetry non-fiction, creativity, on meditation, NDE’s, some science based books, some spiritually based books and others. I hope one or two will be inspiring to you or just a great reading experience!

Are you seeking personal growth and transformation? If you are holding back and blocked from within, feeling anxious, fearful, unfulfilled, trapped, indecisive, invisible, or yearning for the release of your natural self and breaking through blocks to creative or business success, let my help you. My mindfulness-based approach may be just what you need to turn things around. The methods I use have proven their value as seen in current research on mindfulness, meditation, and neuroscience when combined with psychology. I bring 35+ years of training & work as a psychotherapist to this cutting edge work I now exclusively offer.
I help you broaden and deepen your awareness, to think outside your box, to develop your gifts, and recognize and integrate the wisdom you've gained to guide you. Working with me you will feel seen, heard and understood for the unique individual you are. This is not traditional therapy. Let's talk first to see if this is right for you.
As The Woman's Coach, I help women over 40 who are stuck, stagnant and yearning to move forward, to Revitalize precious dreams and goals that fell to the wayside. Cultivate ~ Integrate ~ Act is my coaching motto, awareness and acceptance before action. Click on the coaching tab to find out more or contact me. Let's talk before another year gets away from you.
Lovely list Kim! We share some great friends–Bruce Lipton’s ‘Biology of Belief’ and Jill Bolte Taylor’s ‘My Stroke of Insight.’ I also like Daniel Amen’s ‘Healing the Hardward of the Soul.’ May these great journies continue!
