Recomended self help books

Below are some self help books I have enjoyed so far on my spiritual journey

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.

— Oscar Wilde.

My journey to self help books started when I was about 25 years old. One of my close friends passed away and my grandfather passed away a year after that. I started to become interested in learning more about what life has to offer. My interest in the self started when I would talk with healers. I was looking for guidance after experiencing a sudden loss. Just as empty as it was I felt the need to explore “the meaning of life”. The healer recommended meditation, but didn’t know where to start.

My friend recommended going to Vipassana so that was my first step with learning about the self and how powerful our thoughts can be. (BTW I would highly recommend going to Vipassana if interested in learning about meditation. At least, it was a great start for me!) After this experience, I wanted to learn even more about what it truly means to be human or living as a spiritual being in a human existence. Then my dad recommended reading the “Celestine prophecy”. Also, the sequel “The Tenth Insight” is a great book. I talk with my cousin and she recommended reading “Way of the Peaceful Warrior”. Some other very well written books are “Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior” and “Everyday Enlightenment”. Dan Millman is a talented author who wrote those books so I’m any book you pick up from him is great. If you are interested in spirituality I would highly recommend these books. Have fun! 😀

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
