Finding inspiration to enrich our soul and balance our emotions is a never-ending journey, especially during the novel coronavirus pandemic; 2020 has been quite the emotional rollercoaster, after all. It's times like these where a good read that inspires, motivates, and nourishes your mind (and soul) can help you feel more connected and at peace amidst the chaos.
Practicing habits that can help motivate you to get imaginative, creative, and kind towards yourself and others can help you deal with tough times, and possibly find a happier outlook. If you're feeling disconnected from your family, friends, or colleagues (or just plain lonely!), looking inward can be an untapped solution for most — especially when you're social distancing. Along great apps and inspiring leaders, reading spiritual books can also help make you feel more at peace with yourself and in your surroundings. With the right mindset and confidence, you can tackle life’s biggest obstacles and find new ways to show appreciation and love for people and the world around us.
The best spiritual books focus on things like self-expression, healing, kindness, emotional intelligence, and other important life skills. We're highlighting 16 great books to grab, all of which have excellent reviews on Amazon or have made bestselling lists (or are written by bestselling authors!). Some are based on traditional principles from Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism, while others focus on self-growth from other non-religious based themes.
