Loving What is: Four Questions that Can Change Your Life by Byron Katie. This book kinda made me mad. Byron Katie leads you through some questions that can help you take a new look at situations you commonly find yourself.
Perhaps, like me, this book might ruffle your feathers as she keeps bringing the questions back to YOU. But you will probably find it ultimately freeing when you realize you have more control over certain interactions than you thought!!
The Gifts of Perfection by Brene Brown. This book was life-changing. Brene Brown’s books help you take a deep look at your life and what is truly motivating and driving you. Keep a pen or highlighter handy because you will want to underline half of this book, it is that good and enlightening!
