Being an avid reader, there are numerous books that have inspired me one way or another and I have started creating a recommended reading list.
By no means is this list complete, a reflection of everything I have read or, what you should read. It’s just that the power of books is so wonderful that I wish to give you a few suggestions.
The list ranges from philosophy to fantasy, from leadership to meditation, from yoga to shamanism, from enlightenment to shadow work and more. In case you wish to get more recommended reading inspiration – go and visit Goodreads if you have not already.
As I am always interested in new titles, please mail me yours!
