Recommeded Reading

I read a lot of books. Well, I START a lot of books, become completely fascinated by the notion of the book and then I go on a researching tear to find out as much as I can about that first thread. I DO finish the majority of books that I start, just in a less than typical timeline. There are, however, a few books that hook me and keep me locked within their pages and their pages alone until every last word is absorbed. These books have a special place on my bookshelf and call my attention time and time again. I find myself telling people about them constantly and considering their lessons almost weekly.
Three such books that I find VERY applicable to the subject of nutrition, fitness, transformation and LIFE are:
1. "Women, Food and God" by Geneen Roth
2. "Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul" by Deepak Chopra
3. "Nourshing Wisdom" by Marc David
Each of these titles approach nutrition, thoughts and behaviour in such a way that as you read you can actually feel other facets of your mind being polished; attention being subversively drawn to various influential and limiting perspectives. They are like the literary version of those 3D pictures of the 90s, you absorb the material presented and then when you least expect it, out of the corner of your eye, absolutely NO denying it - the REAL image appears and you are shocked; amazed; delighted.
As I read each of these titles I felt connections, undeniable and rock solid connections form and replace other faulty wiring. My awareness was shifted and dark corners illuminated. I felt myself GROW. It's for this reason that I recommend these titles.
They are also captivating, gentle, humurous, engaging and forward in a way that shakes you by the ankles and then gives you an encouraging hug. It's for these reasons that I also recommend them. Near perfect books for anyone starting the journey into knowing yourself better and freeing yourself from the complexities of a malnourished (be it physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually) life.
Get these books; beg, borrow or steal them. They will radically shift your perspective.
