Books That Changed My Life…
I love learning. Seriously, it’s one of my favorite things in life. As I’ve grown older, I’ve become curious about EVERYTHING. I am constantly learning about new subjects, as well as learning new information about subjects I’m well-versed in.
I wasn’t always this way. I grew up believing the world was against me. I believed I had very little power to determine the course of my life… I was taught there was one way to live & anyone who didn’t live that way was “bad”. I learned I was a victim & my future was predetermined.
Then, I found books. I have so many mentors who don’t know I exist, but they’ve taught me so much, and I’m forever grateful for that… their life’s work has changed my life.
Below are some of the books that have had the biggest impact on me becoming the person I am today - happy, healthy, driven & embodied. This is not a comprehensive list of everything I’ve learned, but it’s a variety of books that forever changed my view of the world, and of myself… and with that came growth in every aspect of my life. So, I thought I’d share for anyone who’s interested in expanding their world beyond what they’ve always believed to be true…
