How Books Can Guide You to Better Health
There are so many amazing and inspiring books to choose from if you find yourself in a space of not feeling okay with life, or yourself.
Maybe sometimes all you need is to bury yourself in an enthralling mystery, travel back in time with an historical romantic love story, or lose yourself completely in a fantasy story.
You might find some benefit in books and reading when you do this and often you might be looking for something more to guide you or support you to find a new habit or way of thinking or living.
That’s when the true value of a book comes to light.
How many books on your shelves have you read, put down and picked up again, over, and over for the true value of what they provide in regard to your better health. They are about habits or new ways of living in a positive way.
Take your mindset as an example. It is a pretty complex thing and sometimes you might get caught in the story of growing up as a child. That’s when books like Your Body Keeps the Score are invaluable. This book explains just how much of your emotional journey is stored within your body and how that impacts on your overall wellness and health.
You might not realize how much your thought patterns impact on your sleep, for example. Yet, having a broken and troubled sleep isn’t something anyone wants and so by reading and taking in what is included in a book such as The Sleep Solution, Why Your Sleep Is Broken and How To Fix It you might finally have a good nights sleep.
Maybe meditation is something you have wanted to master for a long time, and you haven’t known where to start. There are a ton of different methods on the internet and like our cookbook versus online recipe dilemma [include link to other article here], you don’t know where to start.
And yet, the book The Warriors Meditation might be just what you are looking for to teach you how to meditate in a way that relaxes and calms your mind, the way you want it to.
What I love about books is that they are a guide to health all in one place. I can narrow my topic area and easily find a book or books that will give me the guidance and insight into better health that I am looking for.

When I read a book written by an author, it sets off a string of thinking that has me connect with what they are saying and the benefit to health that the information they are sharing has.
Each book containing information that you haven’t understood or don’t have in depth knowledge about is valuable in your life journey.
Take Jay Shetty’s book Think Like a Monk. I’ve been curious, as you might have been too, how monks think and what makes them appear so calm and relaxed all of the time. Wouldn’t you love to unlock that insight to benefit your health? I know I would.
