    One of the ways I stay mentally healthy is through Bibliotherapy…otherwise known as reading, pondering, discussing, back to reading… Whether it’s a self-help book, or a psychology related non-fiction, memoirs, or a good well constructed novel, books help me to see the world from a new perspective and always serve to improve my mental health.  Here are some of my favorites:

    • Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson
    • Mindset:  The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck
    • Love’s Executioner and Other Tales of Psychotherapy by Irvin D. Yalom
    • When Nietzsche Wept by Irvin D. Yalom
    • Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport
    • In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction by Gabor Mate
    • Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
    • Rising Strong by Brene Brown
    • Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
    • Jumping: A Novel by Jane  Peranteau
    • To Bless this Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings by John O’Donohue
    • The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
    • Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach
    • Breakfast with Buddha by Roland Merullo
    • The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
    • H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald
