We’ve been encouraging so many of you to tap out and pick up a book to get away from the intensities of adulting so we wanted to share a few of our favourite reads.

This book was so transformative for me. It takes your on a journey on several different fragments of fictional perspectives of the Ghanaian slave trade and the after effects of it. It’s an eye opening embodiment of hardship, love and hope. A gripping read to say the least.

The Four Agreements is making another cameo, I read this book for the first time in 2019 and ever since then I like to revisit it once or twice a year! It’s so simple to understand and put in practice and really enhances your relationships with people around you and yourself! So I’m ending the year on this note, so I can start the year on this note also!

The Four Agreements
By Don Miguel Ruiz

I usually go between an audiobook and an actual book! I’ve devoured the Will Smith audio book! It’s so engaging, so dynamic and entertaining, I love audiobooks especially when they’re read by the author and this was one of the best I’ve ever read!

Never split the difference: Negotiating as if your life depended on it

By Chriss Voss, with Tahl Raz

This book consists of the integral and unedited journal of a black single mother of three living in the poorest favelas of Sao Paolo, Brazil between 1955 and 1960. Despite barely knowing how to write, Carolina is a powerful storyteller and It’s been an awakening experience to dive into her life and closely explore matters such as famine, violence, love and resilience – all in one. This book is as tragic as it is a love story, of a mother who loves her children beyond measure.
