2. The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

-joseph Murphy

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind has been a bestseller since its first publication in 1963, selling many

millions of copies since its original publication. It is one of the most brilliant and beloved spiritual self-

help works of all time which can help you heal yourself, banish your fears, sleep better, enjoy better

relationships and just feel happier. The techniques are simple and results come quickly. You can improve

your relationships, your finances, your physical well-being.

Dr. Joseph Murphy explains that life events are

actually the result of the workings of your

conscious

and subconscious minds. He suggests practical

techniques through which one can change

one's destiny,

principally by focusing and redirecting this

miraculous energy. Years of research studying

the world's

major religions convinced him that some Great

Power lay behind all spiritual life and that this

power is within each of us.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind will open a world of success, happiness, prosperity, and peace for

you.

3. Belive in yourself

-Joseph Murphy

Dr Joseph Murphy was the author of The Power of your Subconscious Mind. In Believe in Yourself Dr. Murphy shows you how the power of believing in yourself will help you achieve your dreams. He illustrates his points with wonderful stories about how inventors, writers, artists, and entrepreneurs have used this power to reach the highest of heights. By the end of the book you will have the tools for success.

There are many men who quietly use the abstract term success, over and over many times a day until they reach a conviction that success is theirs. As a man repeats the word success to himself with faith and conviction, his subconscious mind will accept it as true of himself, and he will be under subjective compulsion to succeed.

9.I Am Here Now

-Alexandra Frey & Autumn Totton

Mindfulness is the simple and powerful practice of training your attention.

While learning to live in the moment, the joyful mindfulness exercises, meditations, coloring pages, and habit-breakers in this beautifully designed and illustrated book will challenge your powers of observation, investigation, and cultivation while bringing new awareness to your senses, thoughts, and emotions.

I Am Here Now inspires readers to explore the world with greater curiosity and find moments of mindfulness in everyday life, while unleashing your creativity along the way.

I Am Here Now is a wonderful book to jumpstart your journey to daily mindfulness. With its simple instructions, hands-on creative activities, and space for journaling, it’s an intentional and practical guide to learning mindful living. It is also one of the most widely accessible as it is available in 19 languages.

“The book helps me stay calm and curious…It really inspire(s) me to challenge my powers of observation, investigations and bring awareness.” –Zhang K., Goodreads Review

10.Meditations

Written in Greek by the only Roman emperor who was also a philosopher, without any intention of publication, the

Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a remarkable series of challenging spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe.

a timeless collection that has been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and readers throughout the centuries.
