BIG MAGIC
SUBJECT: CREATIVITY/MOTIVATION/SELF-IMPROVEMENT
Available in Hardcover, Paperback, Kindle, Audiobook (free with trial)
I purchased this as a birthday gift for myself! It is dog-eared and stained with coffee, and wine…that’s how many times I’ve gone back to read passages. If you do ANYTHING you are a living breathing creative person. Yep, that’s you!
The best-selling author of Eat, Pray, Love asks us to embrace our curiosity and let go of needless suffering. She shows us how to tackle what we most love, and how to face down what we most fear. She discusses the attitudes, approaches, and habits we need in order to live our most creative lives. Balancing between soulful spirituality and cheerful pragmatism, Gilbert encourages us to uncover the “strange jewels” that are hidden within each of us.
THE ARTIST’S WAY: 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
SUBJECT: CREATIVITY/INSPIRATION
Available in Hardcover, Paperback, Kindle
MORE INFO
This is probably the first book I ever read on the creative spirit. In this international bestseller, author Julia Cameron has inspired millions to overcome the limiting beliefs and fears that inhibit the creative process.
First published twenty-five years ago, The Artist’s Way is the seminal book on the subject of creativity. Perhaps even more vital in today’s cultural climate than when it was first published, The Artist’s Way is a powerfully provocative and inspiring work. In it, Julia Cameron takes readers on an amazing twelve-week journey to discover the inextricable link between their spiritual and creative selves.
Check out the workbook, journal, and also The Artist’s Way for Parents: Raising Creative Children (I purchased this as gifts for my own children who are parents raising very creative kiddos!).

START WITH WHY: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action
SUBJECT: BUSINESS/ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Available in Hardcover, Paperback, Kindle, Audiobook (free with trial)
MORE INFOSimon Sinek has totally transformed the way I (now) approach my work by making me look at WHY I created BeF.A.T. I believe that you don’t need permission, a hall pass or a windfall to do whatever the hell you love in this one short, complicated, beautiful life. When you do things because you can’t imagine NOT doing them, you will change your life, and maybe someone else’s life too. This BeF.A.T. message grows from that one truth.
Sinek starts with a fundamental question: Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over?
People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won’t truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it.
What’s your why?

SUBJECT: HUMOR/HAPPINESS/SELF-HELP
Available in Hardcover, Kindle and Audiobook (free with trial)
MORE INFOI caught author Sarah Knight by chance on a TedTalk and laughed out loud. She’d given up her dream job as a book editor and moved to a tropical island, leaving behind all the crap, she says, that weighed her down.
This brilliant, hilarious, and practical parody of Marie Kondo’s bestseller The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (I now have “joy” ever time I open the neat and tidy sock drawer!) Sarah explains how to rid yourself of unwanted obligations, shame, and guilt–and give your f*cks instead to people and things that make you happy.
The easy-to-use, two-step NotSorry Method for mental decluttering will help you unleash the power of not giving a f*ck about a lot of things that you might want to get rid of.
The Alchemist
SUBJECT: INSPIRATIONAL/SELF-IMPROVEMENT
Available in Hardcover, Paperback, Kindle, Audiobook (with free trial)
MORE INFOThis book continues to inspire me. Many quotes used throughout this blog are pulled from author Paulo Coelho’s insight and wisdom. It focuses on fulfilling our own “Personal Legends.” Coelho encourages us to follow our dreams. Everyone has their own Personal Legend, their ultimate goal in life, but too many of us never pursue it.
With more than two million copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has established itself as a modern classic, universally admired.
Coelho’s masterpiece tells the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found.
The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories can, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life’s path, and, above all, following our dreams.
The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing:The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up
SUBJECT: HOME IMPROVEMENT/ORGANIZATION/SELF-IMPROVEMENT
Available in Hardcover, Paperback, Kindle (free App), Audiobook (free with trial)
Marie Kondo’s New York Times best-selling guide to decluttering your home has become so famous that it’s been parodied in the hilarious book, The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving A F*uck by Sarah Knight.
If you somehow missed this phenomenon, Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes readers step-by-step through her revolutionary KonMari Method for simplifying, organizing, and storing just about everything.
P.S. Couldn’t get my kids to pick up anything, but now, WOW!, you should see their sock drawers!
