The Ultimate Book List for Creating Happiness: Mind, Body, and Soul

Thank you for checking out the Ultimate Book List for Creating Happiness: Mind, Body, and Soul!

I am a HUGE reader and have likely read in the high hundreds of books in the non-fiction, self help and mind-body-soul related areas. In fact, I often get asked for book suggestions, so I thought I’d compile a list of some of the top picks from my own personal bookshelf. These books are all books that have had a direct, personal impact on my life and I believe they will have a meaningful impact in your life too!

These books cover a range of topics including spirituality, relationships, physical, mental and emotional wellness, neuroscience, quantum physics and more, and I’ve tried to loosely categorize them for your ease, but you may well note that many of them span across multiple categories. Each book included below was included on this list because it offers valuable insights and practical advice for creating a happier, more fulfilling life. And honestly, in order to narrow down this list, I had to exclude dozens of books that were also equally worthy of inclusion… perhaps I will have to make a second list someday! Either way, I hope you find these recommendations helpful and inspiring.
