Recommended Reading & Watching

I love inspirational books. Especially those with many ‘AHA’ – moments. Early in 2019 I have decided to read between 3-5 books per month. Sometimes more. Sometimes less, depending on their complexity. So here is a list of the books I have recently read and that really helped me grow personally. Moreover, every single book brings me a little closer to become a specialist in the 3 pillars of my own healing journey: NUTRITION, YOGA, and PSYCHOLOGY. Feel free to reach out to me in case you have any question.
