Transitions A great book that describes the transition phenomenon and how it effects us. Incredibly helpful at normalizing the difficulties that transitions bring, as well as how often we go through them.	The Power of Now A powerful book that describes the power of our minds, both the creative and destructive qualities. He discusses ways to work with the mind: how to use it for the gifts it brings, and well as how to tame the destructive nature of it.	The Gifts of Imperfection To get an idea of what Brene discusses in this book, watch her Ted talk on shame and vulnerability: https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability A great book that addresses why vulnerability is so important and how shame and the self judge impedes that process and the good things we are wanting in life. She also includes different exercises to get clearer and aid towards self growth, awareness, and healing.
Creating Loving Attachments A book I will often refer to parents and caregivers. They do an excellent job describing in an easy read the important qualities one needs to foster loving attachments. A helpful read even if your children are older, describing a different way to relate to them. In my clinical work, it has been difficult to teach others how to validate those in their lives: Daniel Hughs does a nice job speaking to it in this book.	Callings A very inspiring book. It normalizes the struggles we face in following our callings, as well as how to get in touch with our passions. I recommend to anyone who is feeling stuck and lacking meaning or passion in their life.	Celestine Prophecy A book I read back in college when I was trying to find a deeper meaning to my life. It was one of the first books like this I read in my life- a great intro to discovering synchronicities and opening up to more awareness. It does a great job explaining the difference between fear and love, and how those feelings impact us. It has a story woven through the concepts which makes it a very easy, fast read.
Raising Cain A book that does an excellent job speaking to the different social programming between girls and boys and the impacts it's been having on boys. Recommended for parents, helping professionals or anyone interested in the topic.	Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting A great detailed book about the law of attraction, addressing what gets in the way of having what we want, as well as specific topics such as finances and relationships.	The Secret Another great book and movie about the power of the Law of Attraction. I really enjoyed the creativity this book inspired, and regularly make dream boards for myself, as well as practice using the wisdom of gratitude.
The Art of Power Discussing the concept of power in a completely different way. It is a very empowering book that touches on many important aspects that effect our lives, especially in the U.S culture where our definition of power is skewed and not always healthy. It is any easy but meaty, thought provoking read.
