My 10 Best
(In no particular order)
Autobiography of a Yogi
A luminous spiritual classic that reads like a beautifully paced film, filled with saints, miracles, and moments of quiet awakening. The essence of Divinity permeates this story as Yogananda recounts his journey with warmth, humility, and gentle humor, making the mystical feel natural and close. This book opens the door to have a direct experience with the Divine, reminding us that enlightenment is not distant or austere, but joyful, human, and alive. It is not surprising that Autobiography of a Yogi sits on most shelves in libraries and homes. Paramhansa is, in my view, an ascended master among us.
Radical Passion
A fierce, lyrical call to live spirituality through the heart and into the world. Harvey reframes passion as sacred devotion—love in action—where awakening is incomplete unless it engages life, injustice, and suffering directly. This book insists that true mysticism does not retreat from the world, but meets it fully, allowing love to become courage, responsibility, and lived transformation. I resonate with the idea that the essence of sacred is powerful instead of meek and quiet.
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
A foundational spiritual classic that reveals the quiet, creative intelligence shaping our lives beneath conscious thought. Murphy shows how belief, imagination, and inner dialogue become lived experience, offering simple practices that restore choice and self-trust. This book affirms that transformation occurs through alignment with an inner power that is always listening—and always responding.
Lost Horizon
A group of Western travelers survive a plane crash in the Himalayas and are taken to a hidden valley known as Shangri-La, a secluded, utopian community untouched by war, greed, or fear and rooted in kindness, harmony, and love. This story arrived in my life in the exact moment I was about to step into a huge role in my career. The vision of this peaceful Utopia ignited in me a fortitude to step into my power and has remained with me as possibility rather than fantasy, perhaps suggesting that Shangri-La resides in each of us—a reality where peace and love already exist.
I Remember Union
A channeled remembrance of the untold life of Mary Magdalene and her sacred partnership with Jesus in anchoring Divine Love on Earth. Written as living memory rather than doctrine, the book restores Magdalene to her central role in the Divine Design. More than a story, it functions as a transmission—awakening the knowing that union, love, and wholeness are our natural state to remember, not something to seek. This book has had a deeply profound impact on me, triggering a sense of knowing on a new level.
The Hidden Life of Trees
A quietly revolutionary book that reveals forests as intelligent, relational communities rooted in cooperation and care. Trees communicate, support one another, and thrive through connection rather than competition. This book gently reshaped how I see nature—and life itself—affirming that kindness, interdependence, and mutual support are living principles already at work all around us. My body resonated with a sense of knowing that these revelations about trees are indeed reality. Our planet is perhaps our greatest teacher.
Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
Elizabeth Gilbert introduces the idea that ideas originate independently of us—as living, conscious entities that seek out willing partners, to bring them into form through a conscious collaboration. One of her most memorable assertions is that if you don’t say yes to an idea, it may simply move on to someone else who will and that ideas are patient—but not attached. What she’s describing aligns closely with a co-creative model of consciousness: unseen intelligence meeting human presence, intention, and embodiment. The “magic” is the moment alignment happens and creation becomes possible. I have been applying this ‘magic’ since reading this book. It is so empowering and a relief to know that I alone am not responsible for the full manifestation of an idea. I have a co-producer—the essence!
A New Earth
Eckhart reveals timeless truths about human consciousness, showing how awareness, presence, and compassion naturally arise when we recognize the ego and no longer live from it. He writes with clarity and steadiness, offering insights that feel as relevant now as when the book was first published. I return to this book often, because it meets me exactly where I am—personally and collectively. Each reading reflects the moment we are living in, reminding me that transformation begins within, and that a more conscious world is unfolding one awakened choice at a time.
Skinny Legs and All
Comedy on its own often bores me, but when it is used as the driver in a story that dances within spiritual concepts, I become hooked. This book is a wildly imaginative, irreverent meditation on love, belief, and humanity’s obsession with certainty. Through surreal characters, talking objects, and razor-sharp humor, Robbins dismantles religious extremism and rigid ideology while celebrating sensuality, creativity, and curiosity. Beneath the absurdity is a serious truth: when imagination and love are honored, life regains its natural balance. A joyful, subversive reminder that mystery is meant to be lived, not controlled. I love stories that offer philosophical ideas through outrageous comedy. I laughed my way through this entire book.
A Wrinkle in Time
I first read this book as an adult. Another timeless story, a profound meditation on love, individuality, and consciousness, the story reframes darkness as something that dissolves in the presence of love. One of the book’s most enduring images explains time travel by folding two distant corners of a napkin together, allowing them to touch through a “wrinkle” into another dimension—an idea that quietly echoes themes now being explored in quantum physics.
