by Ryan Holiday – This one’s loaded with pearls of wisdom & advice on how to overcome obstacles thrown your way. It’s a must-read for anyone who’s not used to failure.
177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class: The Thought Processes, Habits and Philosophies of the Great Ones, 3rd Edition by Steve Siebold – If you’re in need of a wake up call, this book is it! I’d recommend two highlighters for this one – it’s that good!

You can breeze through it in less than 40 minutes. I recommend reading it twice and following his step-by-step instructions on how to love yourself. Also, pick up his other book Live Your Truth.
Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv – As a kid, I spent a lot of time outdoors – playing and exploring, so I was naturally drawn to this book. I’ve always known about the health benefits of being in nature. This book confirmed it.

Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar by Cheryl Strayed – Cheryl offers deep, practical and non-traditional advice on how to overcome life’s challenges. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
The Gift of Fear and Other Survival Signals that Protect Us From Violence by Gavin de Becker – His message is simple: we have fear for a reason. Fear is a very important survival mechanism – by ignoring it, we open ourselves to those who would harm us. Another highly recommended book; the pre-attack indicator tools in it could save your life.
The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A. Singer – Read this book!
The Book of Est by Luke Rhinehart – Author describes what it was like to attend the original Est training. If you’ve been to a Tony Robbins or Landmark seminar – you’ll enjoy this book.

Living Loving and Learning by Leo F. Buscaglia – If you aim to become a kinder and more loving person then this book will have served its purpose. It’s full of inspiration that will guide you to becoming a more loving human being. Here’s a review I found online: This is a book that will make you feel better about the life you are living. It makes you see people and your environment in a more uplifting light without being preachy. For anyone who needs to remember what feeling happy is like, read this book. I read this book over two years ago, and pick it up from time to time to read certain parts or to just browse through it once more. Each and every time I pick up this book, I walk away with a smile on my face and in my soul. This book helped me to re-define who I am so that I could become the more caring, loving person I want to be. And to think, all I had to do first was love myself! Amazing!!

Astral Projection: Expanding Your Consciousness Beyond the Physical – The Essential Guide to Mastering the Art of Astral Travel (Astral Projection, Astral … Astral Plane, OBE, Out-of-Body Experience) by Glen Bryant – A great, in-depth book on astral projection.

I remember thinking, “Holy cow, the buzzing, it’s really happening… I’m about to leave my body!” But the excitement pulled my “astral body” back into my physical body. That experience was all the evidence I needed to prove the existence of my astral body. You can learn more about the subject here.
