Quiet by Susan Cain
Already seven years on the New York Times bestseller list, Quiet shares “the power of introverts in a world that can’t stop talking.”
According to Whole Living, “In this well-written, unusually thoughtful book, Cain encourages solitude seekers to see themselves anew; not as wallflowers but as powerful forces to be reckoned with.”

Surfing Your Inner Sea by Raphael Cushnir
From the author of How Now, Raphael Cushnir writes Surfing Your Inner Sea, offering “essential lessons for lasting serenity.” Cushnir is also the author of seven books, is a popular counselor and coach, and is a faculty member of the Esalen Institute and the Kripalu Center.
According to the book, “Life today is more harried than ever before. Stopping to catch our breath only leaves us further behind. As tempting as it is to run away from it all, for most of us, that’s just not possible.”
In addition, “What we need is not to escape, but find a way to find serenity amid the storm.” Furthermore, the book “offers a vision of serenity as thrilling as it is practical. Cushnir teaches us to find flow when we’re stuck, calm when we’re anxious, and hope when we’ve all but given up.” You can find the book here.
The More Of Less by Joshua Becker
The creator of BecomingMinimalist.com, Joshua Becker teaches us to “finding the life you want under everything you own.” According to The More Of Less, “Most of us own too much stuff. We feel the burden of our own clutter. We tire of cleaning and managing and organizing. The toy room is messy, drawers won’t close, closets are overfilled, and we can’t fit our cars in the garage. Evidence of clutter is all around us.”
I’m launching a new faith-based weekly newsletter called, “The Focus on Faith Newsletter.” It is designed for those who desire to keep their hearts and minds focused on Jesus.

Cosmic Arrangement by Salliji
Octogenarian, Salliji has touched countless lives during her spiritual journey from the Philippines to the United States, India, and Australia. Her book Cosmic Arrangement, delves into the questions of “Where do we come from? Where are we going? What do we do in between? What is our life purpose? What is the Ultimate Truth?”
Through the book, Salliji shares her teachings through narratives and testimonials from individuals whose lives have been transformed through the ISTA (Intuition Seminar Training Alchemy) that she had facilitated since 1972.
Salliji intimates, “I have received around 1,000 thank you letters testifying from experience the all-level benefits derived from meditation. I said to them, ‘You were thirsty. I took you to the water. I did not drink for you. I held your hand with one hand. God was holding my other hand.” For inquiries about the book, send a direct message here.
