This is the revolutionary work of Dr. Joe which is more than enough for anyone to be able to successfully re-code the software running in our brains so you can achieve high performance, clarity, health and a state of wholeness.

This is a great reflection by Vishen, founder of the powerful Mindvalley platform. Vishen’s gift if to find patterns in all we do on a daily basis and propose an alternative perspective of looking into our lives. It’s relatable, relevant, heart-felt and beautifully gathered.

One of the most impactful books by this century’s prophet, in my idea, that questions many paradigms we currently live in. I have found this extremely helpful especially for those of us in the personal growth space since it would be tricky to slip into the slippery road of wanting to accumulate knowledge without functional purpose. I recommend reading this book once or twice every year as a reminder.

Extremely insightful and eye opening especially when you want to transform your game into a professional one. The book is very intense and fast pace but filled with amazing nuggets that can transform our mindsets.

This is a very practical book digging deep into how our brain is structured, how humans think, analyze and respond to stimuli in real life. In addition, this book offers pragmatic guidelines toward changing our responses from reactive to reflective in a way that best serves us. I personally love how this book is structured and how we can go about understanding how and why we behave in certain ways.

Another great book by Seth Godin focusing on how to bring our best and creative selves to work as a leader, employee or an artist and how to get over the fear of failure. Linchpin refers to those who move the needle, who makes a difference and who deliver impact. Linchpin is an artist. This book is a great and refreshing reminder on how things were supposed to be outside the status quo. Linchpin teaches you how to bring about change by having the right attitude and not fitting in the old paradigms. Highly recommend this book if you want to become indispensable in anything you do.

This is by far one of my top 5 books of all time. David’s story, the challenges he puts forth for us and the lessons learned can change a life forever.

This book is all about getting raw, real and own our shit! Author puts our lives in perspective in a very pragmatic sense and suggests we tap into our uncensored emotions the way they are and start living authentic lives. A great process of owning our dark sides, our weaknesses and our Truth in order to only focus on the things that matter the most ion life. A brilliant read.

This is one of my favorite books because it’s entertaining, relatable and fun to read while profound concepts are being discussed throughout. In authors own words after reading this book ” you’ll understand why you are how you are, how to love what you can’t change, how to change what you don’t love, and how to use The Force to kick some serious ass.” A must read especially for those who are not comfortable with serious content.

The most popular work of Don Miguel within which he takes on on a journey of Toltec wisdom and the four foundations of living a life of integrity with a powerful code of conduct. These principles help us remove the obstacles getting in the way of enjoying life. Another work that needs constant revisiting until we become one with the concepts discussed.

This book is the hero’s journey in depth with the secret meanings behind symbols, myths and stories and our human psyche. Once we understand Her’s journey, we can use it as a guidance into our life journey’s and how we tackle its ongoing changes and challenges. Disclaimer is that this book is not an easy read and is filled with references that needs patience and additional research to fully understand.

One of the greatest books describing how our mind works, how we should tackle it constant chatter, how we find purpose and how to go about living a purposeful life.

This book serves as one of the originals (like “Think and Grow Rich by N. Hill) when it comes to understanding how Law of Attraction works.

This book has been one of the most referenced works in the high performance and leadership communities.

ACIM is the divine whispering in our ears, taking away much of confusion, loss, fear, self-doubts and our complexes and instead, installs a fresh type of faith and sense of meaning: faith in the universe, in the process and in life’s many mysteries. This book to me is the answer to the cliché question about what book we would take with us to an island should we be asked to choose only one! Alan Cohen has done a phenomenal job simplifying the original text and transferring some of the seemingly complex nuances into a heartfelt language that everyone can relate to. This text challenges many of our limiting beliefs (religion in particular as the strongest of all), the lens with which we view the world and our illusionary self image constructed with conviction over the years. I hope these words seat with your soul and touch your heart. This, I call, a divine invitation.
