Book Recommendations

  • by

Hi there!

Today I thought I’d share a few recommendations of books that have been motivational and inspiring to me and that have helped increase my understanding of the brain & body in significant ways.

Here they are, just a few:

*The Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin (this chess champion and world tai-chi champion shares what he learned about learning through his experiences with chess and tai-chi — it’s so good)

*The Brain That Changes Itself and The Brain’s Way of Healing, both by Norman Doidge (these will blow your mind at the awesomeness of neuroplasticity)

*Rest by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang (this will convince you to take walks and vacations)

*Spark by John J. Ratey, MD (this one is about exercise & its effects of the brain)

*Atomic Habits by James Clear (teaches strategies for changing behavior and creating habits intentionally)

*Loving What Is by Byron Katie (this is a powerful book about accepting and embracing things as they are, and understanding the power of our thoughts)

*The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel A. van der Kolk (powerful insights into the mind-body connection, hope-giving information on how to truly heal from trauma)

*Brain Rules by John Medina (fascinating info on how our brains work)

*The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg (another excellent work on habit formation)

Enjoy! And feel free to send me the names of any books you’d highly recommend 🙂
