A must read for anyone who feels like they never do enough, life won’t slow down, and genuinely struggle with “feeling the feels.”

by Diane Poole Heller

Learning about attachment can be a powerful player in relationships with self and with others. The Power of Attachment is a great starting piece to add to your library.

by Dr. Patricia Love

An eye opening read about the stages of love and how to combat inevitable conflict by getting to know your relationship.

by Michael Roach

If ever interested in learning about the Eastern Philosophy of yoga and the Yoga Sutras, this is a great read to dive into. It can be dense, and took me a couple of months to finish, but one I reference a lot.

by Rachel Hollis

I randomly picked this up on a random road trip and finished it in three days. Enough said.

by Lindsay Gibson

A must read for anyone and everyone. Pick it up, take a deep breath, get a highlighter, sticky notes, etc. and dive in. This is one I work one on one with clients a lot.

by Lisa Taddeo

However you identify, read this book. It is phenomenal and eye opening, and everyone can benefit from flipping through its pages. And yes, flipping because this was a page turner. Four days of your life is well worth it!

by Shonda Rhimes

Oh Shonda, a TV powerhouse. As someone who has seen every episode of Greys Anatomy (full truth), this felt natural and I would lend it as a recommendation!

by Glennon Doyle

“The Ache is love. The Ache was never warning me: This ends, so leave. She was saying: This ends, so stay.” Sit with this (after you read the book).

by Ruiz Miguel

A staple travel book that is always nudged in my backpack and often referred to.

by Lori Gottlieb

If you’re in the field of mental health in any way, read it. If you’re interested in the field of mental health, read it. You know what… just read it.

by Paulo Coelho

Similar to The Four Agreements, a staple travel book that I have lended out many of times, and therefore have repurchased equally as much.

by Viktor E. Frankl

Equally educational as it is emotional. I first read this as a grad school assignment when I had no idea who Viktor Frankl was. The power of hope amid challenging times proves to be life-saving.

by Amy Poehler

Sometimes you just need real truth with real story about a real person. That, and I love Amy Poehler.

by Michelle Obama

It feels like she is straight up talking right to you while millions of others experience the same simultaneously. She provides insight on her personal and professional journey prior to meeting her well-known husband, and their life together. Love love.

by Christie Tate

If you were ever curious how group therapy can be life-changing, helpful, or perhaps why it’s even a thing, this is a great book to snag. It’s relatable for a lot of reasons in a lot of different ways. A story that captivates you from the very beginning.

by Hannah Brencher

This was a gift and I devoured it. It’s light, relatable, nurturing, and motivating.

by Tara Westover

This. Book. Blew. My. Mind. To be transparent, it took me longer to read than I anticipated, and once I had time to sit with it, I ate it up. So good. Very eye opening. Sometimes makes your stomach turn. Sometimes makes you feel angry. And then gives you hope.

by Beth Spindler

I geek out on the relationship between movement and mental health. This is the first book I chose to dive into that. More of a hands on/technical book than anything. If you’re looking for ways to implement the theory into practice, great one to start with!

by Kelly Brogan

I’m also fascinated by the relationship between gut health and mental health, somatic processing, and body work. This book feeds you a lot of jaw droppers. Be prepared to feel some sort of way towards a lot of systemic shortcomings, and be in awe by the work Dr. Kelly Brogan does!
