The Most Impactful Books
The books that most transformed my (recent) life…
As I’ve shared, the past six years have been an amazing series of whirlwind transformational “death & rebirth” journeys. During this time, I never had one main guru or teacher, nor a lineage that I dedicated my life to. I’m grateful for this as it opened the door to an ocean of teachers and teachings, each of which seemed to provide the perfect medicine at the perfect moment.
Recently, a number of people have been asking me for book recommends, so I made this list of my favorite reads and decided to publish it here :)
The books below are loosely listed chronologically in the order that I read them, though often the insights and teachings would weave and synthesize over time in a beautifully nonlinear way.
Books in bold are ones that “rocked my world” when I read them, though all of these books changed and shaped my life forever.
A massive THANK YOU to all the souls who wrote these works and poured their hearts into them. I live in service of my gratitude for you. And a deep bow to the mystery of existence whose intelligence and design continues to leave me in infinite awe and wonder 🙏❤️
