Books are like a virtual wise friend or a life mentor. They can’t replace a real person but they are the next best thing. For me, like teachers, books show up at the right time with just the perfect insight, or useful practice that can shift my entire perception and change the course of my life. My clients and friends are always asking me what books I am reading or have read that I can recommend and has made some kind of impact on my life and so… the ‘wisdom library’ was born.
I have learned so much from others and I am so grateful for those authors who have taken the time to share their thoughts, life experiences, useful practices and inspiration. Here’s to keeping the inspiration flowing…
