A Blog on Books with Conni Biesalski
Lets just get to it. Meet Conni. Conni is a vegan, meditating, yogi who loves the ocean and women. She surfs, skateboards, takes pictures, makes videos, travels the world while working as an enterpreneur and inspires the shit out of everyone she meets. I call Conni a friend. But honestly I want to call her my unofficial life coach, business advisor, and therapist. She is brilliant. So is her book list. Here it is. This is just one of many amazing blog posts that you will find on Conni’s passionate and intuitive blog on how to live your life with a fuck-load more meaning.
ENTER THE INSPIRATION: Live Your Heart Out Blog
I get a lot of what I know from books.
I read a lot and I want to share the books that have left an impact on me.
They fall in three categories:
Personal Development & Spirituality
Entrepreneurship & Creativity
Health & Nutrition
Make reading non-fiction a daily routine and you will upgrade your life and business quickly.
I will keep adding every book I read that I find valuable to share.
(in no particular order, but sort of going back in time)
