THE GAME OF LIFE AND HOW TO PLAY IT: A Prosperity Classic
This was one of the first books I read that placed me on the path to self development. It took a couple of reads before I was truly able to grasp the concept of manifestation and the power of the mind.
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
I was and still am discovering more about myself everyday. Books by Neville Goodard helped me better understand manifestation and my true self. When I was stressed or hopeless this book helped me connect some dots. Neville uses meta physics and the teaching of the Christian Bible to explain the process of manifestation. Most of the writing is taken from his lectures. An interesting read for someone who is curious about other methods of changing their life and circumstances.
Books by Neville Goddard
As a member of the introvert club sometimes the world is difficult to navigate because of all the love and attention extroverts receive. We tend to get pushed to the back or are misunderstood. This book helped me better understand my introverted self and how to use it to my benefit. I also learned how important introverts are to extroverts and vice versa.

I'm greatly inspired by sports and high performance pro athletes. I'm inspired by their talent but more so I'm inspired by their mindset.

One of my most recent reads that was referred to me by a friend. A deep introspective book about ones true idenity and detaching from the ego. Not a hard read but very very deep, have an open mind and you'll go on a nice ride exploring what it means to be you in this world and beyond.

The War of Art: Break Through Creative Blocks
Here's an interesting book that examines the psychology of the “Self-Image.” It can be a little technical at times but its an interesting perspective on this subject. It was written by a plastic surgeon who noticed the dramatic changes in his patients personalities and behaviors after they received plastic surgery. The author uses his knowledge to seek answers concerning human behavior in the fields of physics, anatomy, and the science of cybernetics. This book demonstrates how to use this science in your own life to achieve goals that are important to you.

The Story of My Life by Helen Keller
Learning to act is skill that goes beyond the stage or movie screen. I enjoyed this book because it teaches you how to use your imagination to develop character and confidence. Stella Adler wasn’t just an acting teacher—she was an absolute force of nature who trained legends like Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, and Warren Beatty. Adler believed that imagination is an actor’s greatest asset. She pushes you to step outside of ...
