5 Books That Changed the Way I See Myself and My Potential

In today’s world, it seems like people read less and less. With distractions everywhere—social media, the endless stream of news, and the pressure of modern life—it’s easy to let reading take a backseat.

But the benefits of reading are undeniable. It expands your perspective, connects you to new ideas, and helps you understand yourself and the world around you in deeper ways.

Lately, I've noticed more and more people around me picking up books and rediscovering the power of reading. And it is so empowering to see more book clubs being created!

Whether it’s through fiction, self-help, or spiritual texts, reading has the power to reconnect us with our purpose and the vastness of possibility.

The following five books have not only reshaped my self-view and potential but have also strengthened my connection to the world around me. Here’s my take on each one:

1. Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

This book is a must-read for all women.

Women Who Run with the Wolves is a deep dive into the primal, ancestral energy that resides within every woman. It reminds us of the wild, untamed side of our nature that often gets buried beneath societal expectations.

In today's world, where raw wildness is often shamed or feared, this book offers a safe space to reconnect with the powerful, instinctive energy that is our birthright.

Clarissa Pinkola Estés beautifully weaves together myths, stories, and psychology to help women tap back into their intuition and strength, unearthing parts of ourselves we may have long neglected. It’s an invitation to embrace your authentic, unapologetic self.

If you are thinking about getting a new book, grab this one first.

2. The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra

This is such an easy read that goes straight to the heart of spirituality and manifestation.

Deepak Chopra’s teachings reconnect you to the greater divinity that exists within and around you. The book provides a roadmap for living in harmony with the natural laws of the universe, guiding you toward success and fulfillment by aligning your actions with the flow of life.

For anyone looking to cultivate more peace, success, and balance, this book is a beautiful introduction to the spiritual principles that can shape your journey.

It reminds us that when we align ourselves with the universe’s natural flow, success isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.

3. Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks

Manifestation is a big theme in Ask and It Is Given, but it’s not just about asking for what you want—it’s about getting in alignment with your highest, happiest frequency.

This book is a transformative guide for shifting your emotional state and understanding that everything you desire is already in motion.

For anyone who struggles with self-doubt or negative self-talk, this book is a lifeline. It helps rewire your beliefs and invites you to trust that the universe is always conspiring in your favor.

It teaches you that your job isn’t to chase after things, but to allow them to flow into your life by becoming a match to what you desire. It’s about knowing that you are worthy, and that everything you need is already on its way.

4. Becoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe Dispenza

If you’re interested in the intersection of science and spirituality, this book is for you.

Becoming Supernatural dives deep into the quantum mechanics of manifestation, the science of belief, and how to change your self-concept to create the life you desire.

Our brains often make decisions and create feelings for us before we can even tune into our hearts or intuition.

Dr. Joe Dispenza helps you understand how to break free from limiting patterns and reconnect with your innate power.

This book is ideal for anyone who feels stuck in a rut, offering clear, actionable steps to elevate your consciousness and expand your possibilities.

5. The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard

This one is a bit of a wild ride. The Disappearance of the Universe presents a narrative that challenges many of the core beliefs we hold about reality.

It isn’t afraid to dive into the nitty-gritty aspects of life, teaching that much of what we perceive as reality is simply an illusion.

The book’s core teachings stem from A Course in Miracles, which has its roots in the messages of Jesus. This isn’t your average spiritual book; it takes on complex, profound concepts and delivers them in an easy-to-digest format.

It has been instrumental in helping me understand the nature of illusion and the importance of shifting my mindset to experience true transformation.

Reading is a Privilege.

Reading these books has been transformative, but it’s not just about the information—they’ve also been a gateway to understanding myself and the world with more clarity and intention.

In a time when it’s easy to feel disconnected, reading has helped me cultivate a deeper connection to both myself and the greater universe.

If you’ve been feeling out of touch with your inner power or simply want to explore new perspectives, these books are a great place to start.

They’re not just stories or lessons; they’re keys to unlocking a more aligned, awakened version of you.

So, pick up a book, get lost in its pages, and see how it changes the way you see yourself and your potential.

You never know how a single book can shift the course of your life.
