The Best Books About Self Awareness
Self-awareness is like shining a flashlight into the deep recesses of your mind, helping you identify thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that have taken over without your conscious knowledge. By increasing self-awareness you can gain insight into these forces of behavior control within yourself – which in turn enables mindset freedom and behavior modification.
Eckhart Tolle offers readers of his classic spiritual work an approach for finding inner peace: living in the present moment while transcending their egos.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Paulo Coelho is the award-winning author of many bestsellers, such as his international best seller The Alchemist published in 1988. This allegorical novel tells the tale of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd who follows a vision leading him all the way to Egypt’s pyramids – its simple yet profound narrative appeals to readers from all backgrounds.
Coelho’s works, such as O Aleph (Aleph), Monte Cinco (The Fifth Mountain), and Manual do Guerreiro da Luz (Manual of the Warrior of Light), all possess spiritual resonance that transcends religious doctrines; The Alchemist is no different – its central message being that if we want something, everything in nature will conspire against it to make it come true.
This book has often been compared to Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s 1943 work, The Little Prince, due to their similar allegorical styles with symbolic characters. Both stories depict finding one’s path through life; many readers report how reading The Alchemist changed their lives and helped alter how they view their world around them.
The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav
This paperback book, first released in 1989, discusses a new species that has recently come into being, longing for harmony, cooperation, sharing and respect for life, along with higher orders of logic and justice – those coming from within themselves.
It also explores the concept of souls and how they manifest in different bodies for various reasons. For instance, dolphins serve a specific role on Earth: connecting us to marine environments while instilling in us an urge to protect them from harm. Positive intentions can help them achieve this aim, though it might take multiple bodies manifestations for this goal to come to fruition.
