My 10 Best
(In no particular order)
Man’s Search for Meaning
Hard to choose a number 1 recommended read but for me it would likely be this book. It is written by a remarkable man who endured the loss of his family and his dignity in a concentration camp. It shows how strong the human spirit can be and that whilst the world can take away everything from you it cannot take your spirit. If you ever feel life hasn’t treated you well, read this book for a dose of much-needed perspective and inspiration.
The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
Although I’m not in tune with Mr Chopra on all his ‘new age’ messaging, this book is an exception. I think it is his finest hour. He manages to combine eastern and western wisdom effortlessly and every law, if followed, will enhance your life. There are also practical suggestions following each explanation. Every word feels deeply profound and practical at the same time. I think it should be required reading.
The Four Agreements
Rather similar to The Seven Spiritual Laws, this book also offers both explanations and practical advice, but this time in the form of four promises you need to make to yourself. The clarity of this book shines through as well as its deep wisdom and truth. It encourages you to think about your values and reminds you that who you are from the inside out, your personal integrity and values, matters far more than anything else in your life.
The Power of Now
There’s a reason why this book is among the most read of all time. The concept is simple but like so many things in our lives it is one we are all guilty of forgetting. It reminds us that the future doesn’t exist, the past is gone and all that is truly real.,all we ever truly have, is the power and infinite potential of right here and right now.
The Road Less Traveled
Overcoming struggle and a heavy dose of self-discipline and focus are the ingredients for a fulfilling life. But so often we try to avoid challenges and the hard work required to overcome them and take the easy path. This book makes it clear that life isn’t easy and it isn’t meant to be.The joy and meaning can be found in the learning and growth through encountering challenges—and sometimes that growth will hurt.
The Alchemist
The simple message of this book is that all you are seeking is not outside yourself but can be found within. A bit like Dorothy recognising at the end of The Wizard of Oz that there is no place like home. But to get to that inner peace you need to go on an adventure first and this book will give you all the insight and incentive you need to navigate that exciting journey successfully.
The Lord of the Rings
Not only is this a fantasy read that set the template for future brilliant fantasy reads—such as Harry Potter and—there are also deeply spiritual themes to uncover and enjoy. From the innocence of the hobbits to the unseen world of the elves to the temptation of the ring, this book is a guide to life, death, and everything in between.
The Celestine Prophecy
This story carries you on a wave of self-discovery that is utterly absorbing. Along the way, you learn to notice signs and coincidences, the interconnection between everyone and everything, and once again, that the greatest adventure is always the one discovered from within.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
They aren’t the people you might expect them to be. This moving read explores the possibility that nothing in your life is trivial and every interaction or meeting you have with others sets in motion a ripple effect that crosses over into space and time.
The Da Vinci Code
This is perhaps the only book I have ever read that I just could not put down—seriously, I took a day off work to finish it. Not only it is a page-turner in every sense, but it also encourages you to find out for yourself about the concepts explored. By the end of it, you feel as if your mind has been opened and your curiosity—desire to learn and no longer take everything for granted—ignited as never before.
