Emotional Intelligence, Hygiene & Health
The Body Keeps The Score
Drawing on more than thirty years of research and clinical practice, author Bessel van der Kolk shows how the terror and isolation at the core of trauma can reshape both brain and body. This can manifest through anxiety, mental issues, and a great inability to form loving relationships. The good thing is that this can all be healed with due treatment. Be as inspired and moved as we were by this wonderful book.
Atlas of The Heart
We love Brené Brown. Her research, storytelling, and close look into the intricacies of the human heart—and brain, have enormously expanded us. Here, she explores eighty-seven of the emotions and experiences that define humans and provides an actual framework on how we can cultivate a life of brave, real, and meaningful connections.
The Power of Vulnerability
In her famous talk (watched over 59 million times), Brené Brown shares her studies on human connection and how becoming vulnerable increases our ability to form loving and empathetic bonds.
A New Earth
We love how simple, yet clear the intention in "A New Earth” is. In this best-selling book, author Eckart Tolle expands on how our attachment to the ego leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness. He invites us to approach our perception of consciousness away from conflict and suffering. This is such a beautiful, easy, and compelling read!
Loving What Is
“What I love about The Work is that it allows you to go inside and find your happiness, to experience what already exists within you, unchanging, immovable, ever-present. No teacher is necessary. You are the teacher you’ve been waiting for. You are the one who can end your own suffering.” This is a wonderful step-by-step guide that allows you to see what is troubling you in an entirely different light.
When the Body Says No
In this wonderful account, author, medical doctor, and trauma specialist Gabor Maté talks about the effects of stress on our bodies. Following extensive research, he connects chronic illness with the balance—and unbalance—of our main body systems. When the Body Says No is moving, accessible and definitely an eye-opener.
Lectures of Alan Watts
Alan Watts was a philosopher, writer, speaker, and one of the first to interpret Eastern wisdom for a Western audience. He was wildly popular in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1960s when the counterculture movement adopted him as a spiritual spokesperson. We love his lectures (find them free on YouTube) and the recordings of his radio programs—and we love his books. Not to miss, The Way of Zen.

What My Mother and I Don’t Talk About
“Our mothers are our first homes and that’s why we’re always trying to return to them”, writes editor Michele Filgate. Here, fifteen brilliant writers explore how what we don’t talk about with our mothers affects us, for better or for worse. An account of the relief that comes when we acknowledge how what we couldn’t say for so long is a way to heal our relationships with others and with ourselves. A true tale of honesty, pain, and resilience.

Here, trauma counsellor Kelly McDaniel helps women break the cycle of destructive behaviour by taking a fresh look at childhood trauma and its lasting impact.
