The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Deepak Chopra

The man needs little introduction, but we’ll give you one for this guru’s guide to fulfilling your dreams. Chopra’s teachings, freely inspired by Hinduist and spiritualistic concepts, encourage us to connect with ourselves and understand basic human nature to drive our success, rather than focus (or stress out) on hard work or precise plans. This book will bring you calm and inspiration to create whatever it is you desire in life.

Genre: Mindfulness

A New Earth, Ekhart Tolle

In this follow up to Tolle’s highly popular The Power of Now, the renowned spiritual psychologist expands on his powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Let this book allow you to let go and lift yourself—and others—up.

Brian Tracey’s is a visionary guide to simplifying your life by focusing on the sole thing that will drive your purpose (in seven areas of your life), and is lauded by successful companies like Vancouver’s own Lululemon. 

Genre: Self-Help and Goal-Setting
