Recommended Reading and Listening

Identity and Ego

The Power of Now — Eckhart Tolle
A good starting point for understanding how the ego shows up in your daily life and what it actually means to be present. Fair warning,not all is practical but take what's useful, leave what doesn't stick.

The Body Keeps the Score — Bessel van der Kolk
Heavier read, more medical/scientific with some case studies. But the essence is there and it's important. If you want to understand the connection between trauma, identity and the body — this gives you insight.

Untamed — Glennon Doyle
A bit of fluff honestly — but empowering fluff. Sometimes you need permission more than you need a framework. This gives you that.

Women Who Run With The Wolves — Clarissa Pinkola Estés
On my list.

Health and Well-being

The Happiness Trap — Russ Harris
A good way to learn how to unhook from your thoughts rather than fight them. More mental health than identity work, but the two aren't separate. Worth reading.

The Autoimmune Cure — Sara Gottfried
I have issues with the word cure, because we know there isn't one in the traditional sense. But the foundation is solid. If you want to understand the connection between trauma, identity and autoimmune health — the essence is here.

Becoming Supernatural — Joe Dispenza
Take what you need and leave the rest. Some genuinely useful techniques in here. But no book alone is going to change your life, and this one sometimes forgets that. Use it as a tool.
