Books to Change your Life

Books have been such a massive part of my self-discovery and self-love journey. Who needs a master’s degree in anything when you can just read a tonne of educational books? Books have seriously changed my life and I really wanted to share the ones that impacted me the most and really sent me on a journey. And I guess, that word ‘journey’ is accurate when it comes to reading. Books are a portal of wisdom and knowledge. They could honestly be more accurately described as a ‘pilgrimage’.

There’s nothing quite like getting completely absorbed in the text on the pages, completely transported. Feeling the butterflies of excitement and inspiration as you read something which finally lands and makes sense to you. One of those ‘aha’ moments where you can just sink into the new knowledge you have just acquired. It feels so good to finally understand something new about yourself or about the world.

And so that’s what has guided to me to create this selection of books which have changed my life. Because I want to share the teachings with you, in the hope that maybe you will resonate with them they way that I did and continue to. I hope they inspire you, and take you on your own journey.

So, on that note, be prepared… the following books may just change your life.

Becoming Supernatural – Joe Dispenza

This book is next level and was the connection I needed between my spiritual beliefs and science. To pull the two together, and to give understanding to my spiritual wisdom was the point at which I was able to trust and surrender even more into life.

In his book, Joe teaches healing oneself through meditation and other practices, the pineal gland being our connection to Source and backs up all his teachings with scientific evidence. If you’re looking for a book to strengthen your connection to yourself and to a greater consciousness, explain how spirituality and science work together and give you the GREATEST inspiration you will ever need to live your life… this is the book!

Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself – Joe Dispenza

Another incredible book by Joe, with very clear teachings and steps but if you are going to choose to read one of his books, I’d suggest ‘Becoming Supernatural’ (personally). In saying that though, they are both incredible!

Super Attractor - Gabrielle Bernstein

This book was such an amazing step for me in my journey with manifestation! It was a beautiful point in time for me when I realised that I truly am the creator of my own life and the way in which we think, act and show up in the world really does determine our reality. If you’re inspired by manifestation at the moment, give this book a go!

The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho

I had heard about this book so many times before, and  sent a prayer out into the Universe that this book would find me when it is my time to read it. And boy, did it find me at the perfect time. My greatest takeaway from this book was understanding what Paulo describes to be one’s ‘personal legend’… or destiny. Following your heart as if that is what you came into this world to do. This book was woven with the most delicate life lessons, written so creatively and clearly at the same time. Allow this book to find you too when the time is right. I trust you will know when it is time for you to follow your own heart as if that is your reasons and purpose for coming into this world.

Journey of the Souls - Michael Newton
I honestly don’t even know where to start with this book. It was completely transformational for me. Newton dedicated his life to his practice of hypnosis, studying people’s experience of life after death, and life between lives. This book gives such a beautiful and clear understanding of what happens when our souls leave our bodies and is such a peaceful reminder of life after death. Whilst this concept could sound confronting for some, it was written in such a beautiful way and brought so much peace and love to the concept.

Women Don’t Owe You pretty – Florence Given

The book that activated my self-love. This book is all about loving the f**k out of yourself, breaking out of societal conditioning and learning that you are enough just as you are. This book is so freaking pretty as well and has become art around my room too. It is such a wake-up call for women, revealing just how much we are taught to squish into the beauty standards that society has constructed for us. Breaking free from the boxes and feeling sexy and beautiful just as you are is the guidance that Florence leaves us with in her book.

Florence’s book ‘Women Living Deliciously’ is another incredible and inspiring book I’d also highly recommend.

Sacred Woman – Queen Afua  

Queen Afua is a freaking goddess and her book is such an educational masterpiece, teaching us all about the wisdom of the womb. Our sacred womb is a portal to the divine and our connection to our self and intuition. Keeping our womb healthy, healing our bleeds and looking after our bodies is so important for us to live nourishing, rich and fulfilling lives! Queen Afua shares her teachings on the sacred womb, sacred union and partnership, work, health, food, exercise and more. This book is such a divine guide and initiation into wombanhood.

The Surrender Experiment – Michael A. Singer

Okay holy YES to this book. I remember reading it on the plane and literally could not contain my excitement. It’s like everything I believed to be true was confirmed with the incredible story in this book. A life’s journey dedicated to surrendering deeper and deeper, and trusting the divine orchestration of life. Even when things seem dark and scary, the greater we can surrender, the more room God has to step in and support us. This book was a heck yes to learning how to trust and surrender.

The Untethered Soul - Michael A. Singer

Another book by the master. Shedding light on all the questions we have about life, about who we are, about consciousness. This book was such a beautiful awakening for me, waking up the truth of what and who we are.

You Can Heal Your Life – Louise Hay 

This book is a guide to changing our thought patterns, healing our body and changing our life. Overflowing with beautiful affirmations, wake-up calls and teachings about living the life we dream but simply changing the way we think. This was one of the first books I ever read on my journey, and I’m so glad it was because it was such a magical and loving way to be introduced to this type of work. If you’re just starting on the path of your self-love and consciousness adventure, or even if you are far along, I would highly recommend this book!

The Body Keeps the Score - Bessel van Der Kolk

To realise how the body stores emotions, experiences and trauma and just how incredible our bodies are is the essence of this book. The science behind just how connected our bodies are to our emotions and our experiences is so fascinating. I learnt so much from this book and feel so much more connected to and understanding of my beautiful body after reading this.

Happy reading fam! If you feel called to reach out after you have read any of these, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I truly hope these books resonate with you just as much as they did for me.

Expansion, transformation and self-love await you.

Love you xo
