Book Lists Perfect For Going Into Fall; Including Audio and E-Books For Those On The Go

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve been a book lover. At any time you come over my house you most likely will find at least a few books on my night stand, and on my phone and other devises, where you will find many Audio and Ebooks that I am currently in the middle of or finished. And on most day trips or vacation you can find at least one book packed with me. One other thing my family knows about me is that I won’t hesitate to add anything that we don’t need or use anymore to the donation bag, one area of exception is books, I love books its the one item that I collect or maybe even neatly hoard.

This summer I have read or in the middle of reading a few really good impactful books that I wanted to recommend, and (blaming being a mom on this part) while I only really have time to read a few pages at a time. These books were so good that I found myself continually grabbing them or bringing them with me wherever I go, no wonder I carry such a big purse haha. Most of these recommendations come in several options, book, audio book and ebook. One of the reasons that I am doing a book list is I personally love and find it helpful when other people give their own recommendations, also these books are great all year around not just a seasonal read. Enjoy!

Books

Give A Shit. Do Good Live Better. Save The Planet. By Ashlee Piper

This book covers a critical topic of how modern human life is effecting our planet and its inhabitants. While Piper the author shares facts and current stats, she does it in a way that isn’t overwhelming and arms the reader with actionable solutions, which are concrete and sensible. A very timely must read for us all.

The White Album. By Joan Didon

A Classic. The snap shots the Didon gives in this book are so relatable even though the book was written in the early 70’s. I highly recommend this book for those who live in California it talks about some of the same political issues and scenes that we are still dealing with today ie. water, traffic, real estate and the states political scene. This classic book also capture some of the national issues we are still faced with, and some of the emotional and mental toll that can result. Highly recommend this easy read that has such soul in the style Didon share her essays.

The Beauty Detox Power: Nourish Your Mind and Body For Weightloss and Discover True Joy. By Kimberly Snyder

While I have read the authors other books this one is my favorite, and such a different take on the subject of diet and nutrition. While I initially picked up this book because I had enjoyed the recipes from Snyder’s other books, this is such a soulful book that easily guides the reader to look at the mind body connection. This guidance offers the reader a chance for a much more personal checkin with themselves which is a powerful aid for those who are looking to improve their health. And it also has yummy recipes too.

Explorations Of A Cosmic Soul. By Allie Michelle

The poems in this book offer snippets of beautiful wisdom and contemplation that the author shares in her first published book. This book is perfect for those who can’t commit to a long read, as this book offers short poems the even taking a moment to read just one daily will add great depth to your day.

Silence : In the Age Of Noise By Erling Kagge

I can’t do enough justice to this book in describing it. It starts off on a simple premise of what is silence. Yet the depth and contemplation this book offers is greatly needed at this period in time, where we are all faced with so much noise, from opinions, news, stimulation physical and mental, noise pollution, to never silent minds. The author gives beautiful scenarios and illustrations through out the book that easily hold the readers attention while making powerful points that allow the reader moments to self analyze.

Audio Books

Becoming Supernatural. How Common People Are Doing The Uncommon. By Dr. Joe Dispenza

The research and tools that Dr. Dispenza offers are so impactful for all especially those who might be contemplating a spiritual path, or a path of mental and physical health.. His research offers insights in the fields of epigenetics, physics, spirituality, ancient philosophy showing the bridges of each area in relation to our health and beyond.

The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself. By Micheal A. Singer

A classic book that I have read and listened to many times. I love the way this eases quickly and effectively tuning into the role our emotions and our consciousness plays in our reaction to daily scenarios and our outlook in general.

Big Magic Creative Living Beyond Fear. By Elizabeth Gilbert

As a fan of Gilbert’s other books this was a new area that she covers. In Big Magic she discusses the creative process, and what it takes to allow ourselves to be curious, and the self evolution process that unfolds when we submit to allowing ourselves to create.

The Alchemist. By Paulo Coelho

A classic that I avoided for a long time but am so happy that I finally listened to this book such a great tale and highly likable.
