Summer Book List

I absolutely love to read and feel like it is the greatest way to take a mental health break and get lost in a book. Books are a great way to relax your mind, consider new concepts and tactics, and even self-help.

The following is a list of books I’d suggest reading, and some I have read, or am planning to read this summer. Let me know what books you would recommend, or have planned for this summer as well!

• The Defining Decade: why your twenties matter – and how to make the most of them now by Meg Jay
• You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero
• Atomic Habits by James Clear
• The 5AM Club: Own Your Morning. Elevate Your Life. by Robin Sharma
• What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing by Oprah Winfrey & Bruce D. Perry
• Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?  by Dr. Julie Smith
• Getting Back to Happy: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Reality, and Turn Your Trials into Triumphs by Marc Chernoff

I personally, love to read books that educate me or are ways to let me grow as an individual. You may have a passion for another type of book, prefer a different genre, or perhaps even like audiobooks or podcasts better! That is all okay – I just wanted to promote some great reads for you to investigate, and show you different ways I like to recharge and reset my mind when I’m having hard times with my mental health.
