A Guide To Rational Living by Albert Ellis and Robert Harper
Going deeper is also about how we react not to things but to our thoughts and judgments of how our inner voice talks to us, which creates friction and our experiences. Stoicism is about looking deeper at our thoughts and working on changing them.
Read MoreThe Top 6 Books That Helped Change My Life
This was a REALLY hard exercise – to look at all the books I’ve read so far in my 56 years and pick out the top five of all time that truly helped change and shift my life in some amazing directions. I decided to do this because I needed a graduation gift for my…
Read MoreA Life At Work by Thomas Moore
I was a middle child growing up. Looking back, I so wish I had this book – A Life At Work by Thomas Moore at my fingertips. Might have saved me years of career anguish. I remember when I and my older brother and sister were all in high school at the same time. They…
Read MoreHow to Own Your Own Mind by Napoleon Hill
While scrolling through my Audible library, I found this book by him, which I’d never heard of before. I love the story about how it came to be– “Locked in a vault since 1941. Here is Napoleon Hill’s definitive lesson on how to organize your thinking to attain success!” I mean, throw the words “locked in a vault since 1941,” and I’m in!
Read MoreThe Fortune Cookie Principle by Bernadette Jiwa
I love the title of this book – The Fortune Cookie Principle: The 20 keys to a great brand story and why your business needs one.

I truly believe that we are spiritual beings living a human experience. And because we are human, we…
Read MoreThe New Psycho-Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Dan Kennedy
Who’s driving “your car?!” These are all the questions I have been asking myself these past bizarre months. Especially today, living in Northern CA, a fire just broke out in my town southwest of where I live. And we just finished creating our evacuation list. You know, the list where you need to figure out…
Read MoreYOU Are the Guru! by Gabby Bernstein
While surfing through Audible, looking for a “good read” last week, I came across the “Audible Original” section. I don’t usually peruse it too much because, in the past, none of the authors really piqued my interest. It was mostly filled with fiction or nonfiction biographies that were not really interesting to me. Until I…
