Lisa's Picks
MONTH 1 | Get Out of Your Own Way
Positive Intelligence
by Shirzad Chamine
Why I Like It
I like this book because it puts a name to the ways we can sabotage ourselves without even realizing it. It’s a good reminder that once you notice those patterns, you can start choosing a different response.
MONTH 2 | Your Emotional Scale
Ask and It Is Given
by Esther and Jerry Hicks
Why I Like It
I like the way this book helps you pay attention to how you’re feeling instead of just pushing through it. The Emotional Guidance Scale gives you a practical way to recognize where you are and start moving toward a better-feeling place.
MONTH 3 | The Stories You Tell Yourself
You Can Heal Your Life
by Louise Hay
Why I Like It
This is one of those books I’ve gone back to over the years. I like the reminder that the things we repeatedly tell ourselves can become beliefs, and that we can question those beliefs instead of letting them run the show.
MONTH 4 | What’s Holding You Back
The Untethered Soul
by Michael A. Singer
Why I Like It
I like this book because it makes you look at that nonstop voice in your head a little differently. It’s a good reminder that you can notice your thoughts and emotions without letting every one of them control what you do next.
MONTH 5 | The Science of Gratitude
The Magic
by Rhonda Byrne
Why I Like It
I like that this book turns gratitude into something you actually practice instead of something you just say you should do. The daily exercises make you slow down and notice what’s already good in your life.
MONTH 6 | The Power of Affirmations
Scientific Healing Affirmations
by Paramahansa Yogananda
Why I Like It
I like this book because it makes you look at that nonstop voice in your head a little differently. It’s a good reminder that you can notice your thoughts and emotions without letting every one of them control what you do next.
MONTH 7 | Rewriting Limiting Beliefs
Don’t Believe Everything You Think
by Joseph Nguyen
Why I Like It
I like the simple reminder right in the title: just because you think something doesn’t make it true. It helps you look at the thoughts you’ve been carrying around and question whether they deserve as much power as you’ve been giving them.
MONTH 8 | Progress, Not Perfection
The Gap and the Gain
by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy
Why I Like It
I like the idea of measuring progress by how far you’ve come instead of constantly comparing yourself to where you think you should be. It’s a much healthier way to recognize growth without expecting yourself to be perfect.
