You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection. — The Buddha

Books

As I have explored the world both inside of me as a way of healing from my depression, I have often found books would appear in my life at ‘just the right time’.

I decided to list these books in the order in which I encountered them as a way for me of learning by looking back – and to celebrate my journey. Also as a way of sharing in the hope of supporting others.
