Business books are great, but there are some unsung heroes that bring the magic back in and open up the window to something more. Whether you’re feeling stuck with stagnant energy, looking for creative inspiration, or waiting for that click of alignment that makes everything feel so juicy and right, these reads are just for you.

Big Magic 

By Elizabeth Gilbert

A kick up the creative butt and a permission slip to act on the ideas in your gorgeous head. Big Magic is a love letter to creative living, and a reminder that this life is fleeting so you should just, well, do the damn thing. An annual read in the office, and the subject of many a book club. 

The Celestine Prophecy

By James Redfield 

A journey of many sorts and a reminder to find the magic, find the new way of thinking, and to look and witness the miracles all around. Life lessons and spiritual seeking rolled into a book that is life changing, thought provoking, and world altering. Divine. 

10 Minutes and 38 Seconds in this Strange World

By Elif Shafak

Politics, prostitution, and one of the most profound books to read. Set over, you guessed it, 10 minutes and 38 seconds, this story follows Leila, a sex worker in Istanbul, and is a beautifully-written book from start to finish. One of the most descriptive and immersive books to settle into, to help your mind wander someplace else and to invite your own creativity in.  

All are well-read and well-loved by founder, Molly, and have been gifted countless times over the years. Read them, sit with them, witness them, and see what they can do for you.
