The following are all books I’ve read throughout my healing and self-growth journey at all different stages of my life. They are a collection of my favorites and the ones that had the most impact and transformation on my mind, perspectives, and internal locus of control. My most recent read was "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself", and I am currently re-reading “A New Earth” and starting “Braiding Sweetgrass.”
If you struggle with mental health or often feel suppressed by your own psyche, it may be worth exploring some of these books. While traditional self-help books can be insightful, from personal experience of feeling “stuck” for quite some time, what truly catalyzed my healing was engaging with philosophy and spirituality. You don’t need to identify as a spiritual person to benefit from new perspectives, and the following books offer an excellent starting point: For some, these books can be incredibly transformative and become anchors to resort back to, when you find yourself stuck in a negative loop.
Our value is in our perspective, and sometimes the catalyst to change begins with a single perspective shift. Whether you seek a foundational guide or a confrontation with your psyche, these books offer pathways to growth, change, greater awareness and peace. :)
