Book Recommendations

Written By Abigail .

I’ve always been an avid reader. Even when I was young I would read constantly. As I got older I found the types of literature I was interested in shifted. While this is completely normal as we mature, I noticed my attention was drawn to a lot of philosophy, anatomy, healing, classic’s, spirituality, religions, and holistic medicines. Truly I just saw it as a fun hobby, something to activate my mind while my body needed to be still. What I didn’t realize was everything I was learning was slowly changing the way I perceived life. Before you get smart, of course the content and media we digest influences us, but I mean change so far that I switched my entire career path for it. Now I’m not saying if you read these books that you will uproot your entire life in search of a new purpose. Though at the same time, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
