5 Books to Shake up Your Life!

A friend asked me today for some recommendations of books - see he's trying to change his life. He wants to shake up the status quo and is ready for some new discovery! My favorite kind of thing to do!!

Here's a few that continue to help transform my life. If you have others to recommend - please post in the comments!! I would love to find more...

1. The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield - it's a great easy, fun read. But it really gets to the truth for me. I love all of the subsequent books too. I downloaded a cheat sheet with the individual insights that I carry with me and use to refresh and remember.

2. Ishmael by Daniel Quinn - work of fiction, it may take you a little bit to get into, but trust me - so worth it. Will turn your perspective upside down. And visits to the zoo will never be the same ever again. http://www.ishmael.org/index1.cfm

3. The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo - I love all of this man's work. But this book in particular is a gift! I recommend it to all teenagers, college students - anyone starting out in life. But also to anyone of us who feels like they are needing to find their way in life... enjoy the journey!

4. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle - wow. I have gifted this book to so ma

ny people. It revolutionized my life, my being, my thinking. Deep healing came as a result of these simple teachings. If you aren't a reader, I really enjoyed the audio version of this book. Be prepared though - it will change you. http://www.eckharttolle.com/home/

5. Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman - this book is incredible! And all of his subsequent work is great - they take you deeper

into this idea of having a peaceful soul, but a warrior spirit! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Read, ponder, meditate - but enjoy it! This is the fun part - exploring new ideas, new ways of beings, new understandings. And as you discover something true for you - please share it with us and the world, we want to learn it too.

Namaste.
