We are here to assist those who want to work on creating a brighter future.

How can reading be helpful to you, or anyone?

Millions of people have changed their lives after reading just one book that created a shift. Even just one single quote can help us change.

Reading is known to be so powerful that one of the oldest known libraries came with a motto which translated to “the house of healing for the soul”.

Have you ever heard of Bibliotherapy?
Back in 1916 Samuel McChord Crothers used the term, “bibliotherapy”. This is the practice of prescribing books to help people through their challenges. The modern way of thinking about this is “healing through reading”.

There’s a vast amount of people out there who can attest to their healing journey being the result of reading one particular book. The more great books we read, the more we are able to learn and share the healing journey. One great lesson is that when a book makes sense and seems to be helpful, we can read it again, even better, rather than reading great books, is to study great books!

There are so many books out there, which one to chose?
For many people the problem can be that the choice of books is just too overwhelming. It is this very reason why we feel the need to share some of the great books that have helped heal many people around the world.

“It’s not the amount of books we read, it’s the quality of the knowledge within the book that matters most.”

Many great people have been quoted as saying “Reading is knowledge, knowledge is power”. The reality is that Knowledge is not power until it’s applied.

Reading will for sure bring knowledge therefore choosing the right books is essential.

We realise that it can be totally overwhelming as to know what books to read. In this section we are sharing just a few of the most important books that we know of. These are books that have changed peoples lives and continue to do so.

We hope there’s a book in here to inspire you too!

Michael Singer: The Untethered Soul.

Overthinking is far more common than people think. This is by far the best book that helps to understand why the overthinking (monkey mind) does what it does and how to overcome it. This also happens to be one of Oprah Winfrey’s top books, and authors.

Johann Hari: Lost Connections

This is probably the best, easiest-to-read book on the social science of mental health, along with the reasons why and how to help oneself. We believe that Johann missed out on one very valuable connection. See if you can also work out which connection he missed, or connect with us to find out more after reading it.

Johann Hari: Stolen Focus.

A great book for anyone having challenges focusing on work, studies or getting wrapped up in social media? In here you can discover why so many people are losing focus and how to change. Sometimes all it takes is knowing why we are not so focused. Once we know, we can change.

Matt Haig: Reasons to Stay Alive.

This is a great book that has a really inspiring story about how author Matt Haig finds many great reasons to stay alive while going through depression. It’s a really inspiring story that is much more than a great read, it might be helpful to you to know that even very successful authors go through emotional challenges.

Napoleon Hill: Think and Grow Rich!

Don’t worry, we’re not trying to help you get monetarily rich. This is much more than a book about wealth in monetary terms; rather, it is the seminal book on success in living a balanced life. Just about every great mentor and speaker has read and been inspired by this, including the world’s biggest mentor, Tony Robbins.

Stephen Covey: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

This is probably one of the all time best-researched and best-written books on how to transform lives and find value in life. This has been a huge inspiration to many business people, parents, educators, students, and many leading motivational speakers too. Recently, it was made into a film too.

Eckhart Tolle: The Power of Now.

This may come across as a rather advanced book for some; however, for many, this has been a life-changing book. It is the best book on understanding the power of being able to get into the present-moment state. By being able to become more present, we are able to overcome much of the suffering we face in life.

Bessel van der Kolk: The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma.

A highly respected Dutch psychiatrist, researcher writes about a whole new way of looking at how to heal trauma. Hundreds of peer reviewed studies have been written about the practices within this book. Very influential and helpful
