In Search of Personal Growth and Fulfilment. We’ve got Five Books That Might Help.
Do you ever feel that, although surrounded by friends and loved ones, you still need a little extra help on your journey of personal growth? Or maybe you’re a lone wolf and haven’t found your circle. Either way, it’s amazing not to be reliant on others for all your needs and empowering to step outside your comfort zone and do some soul-searching on your own.
We’ve done a little reading and enjoyed gathering insights from the books below. We hope they can help you grow and explore yourself, as they did us. Read one, start a book club, or dive into all five books on your journey to living a fulfilling life with a side of happiness and excitement.
“The Miracle Morning” by Hal Elrod
Great if you’re struggling with anxious mornings in bed or desperately needing a routine to help with productivity. “The Miracle Morning” is celebrated as a simple, easy read encouraging personal development. By creating a morning routine that sets the tone for the rest of the day, it introduces the Life S.A.V.E.R.S. — a set of six practices, including silence, affirmations, visualization, exercise, reading, and scribing. Adding these habits into your morning is said to elevate your mindset, enhance productivity, and cultivate a sense of purpose that propels you towards your goals. We liked the possibility to condense the hour-long routine down to six minutes on busy days, leaving no excuse to skip a day.
“Think Like a Monk” by Jay Shetty
When reading, you have the option to take a spiritual or logical journey, and this book flitters between both, leaving it up to you to decide.
Former monk turned social media sensation Jay Shetty has filled this book with timeless wisdom from his years of contemplative practice, making each page thought provoking. Through a story sharing personal anecdotes, ancient teachings, and modern psychology, it offers advice on how to quiet the mind, overcome negative thought patterns, and live with intention. By embracing his mindset, he says you should feel empowered to cultivate inner peace, find fulfilment in the present moment, and forge deeper connections with yourself and others. We’ll let you read and find out for yourself.
“Hygge: The Danish Art of Happiness” by Marie Tourell Søderberg
This is great for a new home, embracing remote working from your couch or if you’re needing some TLC. Originating from Denmark, hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a concept centred around cosiness, contentment, and the simple joys of life. “Hygge: The Danish Art of Happiness” explores this cultural phenomenon, offering insights into how you can dive into and include hygge principles in your daily routine. From creating inviting spaces to soaking up moments of comfort with loved ones, it reveals how embracing hygge can foster a greater sense of well-being and a deeper appreciation for life’s little pleasures. It inspired us to make small changes and create our own Hygge Home.
“The Mountain Is You” by Brianna Wiest
If you’ve not encountered some mountains on your journey through life, are you even living? It’s easy to blame external factors for not being where we’d like to be, but have you ever considered that the mountain might be you, that you are the very thing obstructing your growth? Brianna Wiest’s “The Mountain Is You” invites readers on a transformative journey of self-discovery and personal development. Through reflective work, it explores the inner landscapes of the human psyche, encouraging you to confront your fears, embrace vulnerability, and find strength within. Reframing challenges as opportunities for growth guides you towards a path of self-empowerment, resilience, and authentic living.
“Manifest” by Roxie Nafousi
In “Manifest,” award-winning author Roxie Nafousi offers a pretty jam-packed guide to manifesting the life of your dreams. Using principles of positive psychology, spirituality, and manifestation techniques, this book encourages you to harness the power of intention and align your thoughts, beliefs, and actions with your deepest desires. Practical exercises and insightful stories demonstrate how creating a mindset of abundance and gratitude can pave the way for miracles and synchronicities to unfold in your life.
Each of these books shares a different perspective and we hope that at least one resonates with you to support your ambitions and helps you feel your best.
