The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron (affiliate link)
Each of us has an artist within. Your creativity can be a powerful pathway to tapping into your truest self and living a more intentional life. This book provides a series of activities and exercises to help you recover your creativity from a variety of blocks, including limiting beliefs, fear, self-sabotage, jealousy, guilt, addictions, and other inhibiting forces, replacing them with artistic confidence and productivity.
The Compassionate Achiever by Christopher Kukk (affiliate link)
Living your life from a place of unconditional kindness, for yourself and others, is a key element of managing stress and finding true meaning in your connections and work. When you act with kindness and compassion, you can give to others and share your true gifts.
This book discusses the scientific basis for how compassion can spur success at home, at work and in the community. It also outlines a 4-step program for cultivating more compassion by listening, understanding, connecting, and acting.
The Whole Cure by Dr. Jennifer L. Weinberg MD MPH MBE (affiliate link)
While I may be a bit biased about this one, so many of my clients and patients have told me that The Whole Cure has shifted their outlook and given them a new set of simple yet powerful tools to get through challenging times in life. This guide to living a meaningful life and preventing stress-related conditions provides you with practical and effective exercises based on the science of lifestyle medicine and positive psychology. The 52 exercises and essential wellness prescription will help you build tools and strategies for overcoming overwhelm, reclaiming balance and reconnecting with a life you love!
The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer (affiliate link)
This book presents one of my favorite poems and always opens up my mind to new possibilities. It presents a powerful challenge to all who long to live an authentic life and invites the reader to embrace life and all that it offers.
Reach for this book when you want a simple yet profound reminder to live more deeply, honestly and passionately. It is the perfect motivation to start off your summer with meaning and the opportunity to more deeply explore what life has to offer.

Interesting post Jennifer. I know the “The Artist’s Way” changed my life. I look forward to reading the others. I think compassion and especially Self-compassion is so needed in our world today. Please see my post How to Use Your Journal to Create Self-compassion. It’s featured at the HHGN Blog Party #160. http://obloggernewbie.blogspot.com/2017/06/how-to-use-your-journal-to-create-self.html
