I like nothing better than to wander around a second-hand bookshop, not knowing what I’m going to stumble upon. But when it comes to searching for specific books online I always use amazon.
Listed below are some of my favourite all-time books, the ones that I’ve found really interesting and useful and that have also helped many of my clients over the years. I’ll be adding more to this list so check back often. They are mostly in the non-fiction self-help/psychology/spirituality genres.
