Defining yourself has everything to do with nourishing your mind, body and soul. One way of doing so involves seeking insights from a good book.
There is something maginal and therapeutic about reading a good book while siting on your couch; or while enjoying a nice bubble bath; or siting at star bucks. It may not be any of these places. The key here is to find a peaceful place that fits your style. I find it quite sad when people, especially women tell me they don't have time to read. Everyday, you must create one hour to yourself to immerse yourself in you by meditating, to balance yoursef. That means, no company; just you,yourself and you.
There are several ways to balance yourself and one involves immersing yourself in a good book. (The complete list of balancing techniques can be found in the "art of balancing the mind, body & soul" subtab).
Here, I have included some great books that will inspire, motivate, educate, uplift and empower your mind, body and soul. If you lack time, pick one book a month to read. If you can read one a week, that's even better.
To buy from my picks, just scroll down, click on desired pick and click desired payment method. For help, you can always contact me prior to making your purchases.
I hope you take a little time to focus on you while immersing yourself in one of my picks.
Happy reading!!

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light.
In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, "the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death."
Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.
A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61)
With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived "in the now." In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.The Power of Now was a question-and-answer handbook. A New Earth has been written as a traditional narrative, offering anecdotes and philosophies in a way that is accessible to all. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life—and for building a better world.
Upgrade: Taking Your Work and Life from Ordinary to Extraordinary
By Rana Florida - $37.00
The 7 Key Principles to achieving YOUR business and life goals
What could a graffiti artist, eminent neurologist, star athlete, celebrity chef, fashion designer, rocket scientist, and Grammy Award–winning musician possibly have in common?
In this groundbreaking new book, Rana Florida shares their formula, giving you the tools to achieve unimaginable success in work and life. Upgrade gathers the best practices, not just from CEOs and business executives but from entrepreneurs, innovative thinkers, and creative leaders.
Upgrade includes interviews with Sir Ken Robinson, Dan Pink, Mark Cuban, Andre Agassi, Kenny Scharf, Zaha Hadid, Governor Martin O’Malley, Tory Burch, Tim Brown, and many other leading figures. Despite this cast’s vastly different backgrounds and skills, Florida’s research concludes that there are seven key principles to achieving your business and life goals:
- n Envision the future
- Find your passion
- Get creative
- Design your time
- Collaborate
- Take risks
- Embrace failure
Unfortunately, this is exactly what the majority of us don’t do. Instead of developing a real strategy to upgrade and optimize our lives, too many of us just slog through life in a state of “managed dissatisfaction.”
But it’s never too late to envision an entirely different future—or to actively upgrade your life. It’s not about finding more time, money, or resources. Anyone can do it.
This smart and entertaining guide delves deep into each principle, giving you the insights, tools, and inspiration to take your life from ordinary to extraordinary.
