Books

This is a ‘work in progress’ list of books which I have read during my journey and preparation for it. I consider myself to be implementing in my life to some extent what I’ve learnt from reading them.

I consider them to be important books for either the profundity of the message conveyed and / or the level by which they have inspired me to take action, think differently or and / or cause a paradigm shift in my thinking. Enjoy.
