I like nothing better than to wander around a second-hand bookshop, not knowing what I’m going to find. I nearly always veer toward self-help books or the mind-body-spirit section.
Listed below are some of my all-time favourite books, the real page-turners that I’ll read again and again. I’ll be adding more to this list so check back often. They are mostly in the non-fiction self-help/psychology/spirituality genres.
The links will take you to amazon.co.uk and if you purchase via the link I’ll get a small commission – at no extra cost to yourself. Thanks in advance if you do!
