Fifty-Seven Fridays
Myra Sack
This one is personal to me, as it was written by a dear friend about the short, but full and magical life of her beautiful daughter, Havi Lev.
There are no words for the experience I had reading this. Three hours and countless tears later, I felt Havi’s soul touching mine. Her journey broke me, uplifted me, challenged me, moved me, and undeniably changed me. This journey puts you at Myra’ side while she faces the impossible. Her words, so stunning and raw, bring beautiful Havi and her spirit to life with each turn of the page.
My perspective on life, on moments, and on gratitude, has been forever changed.

In Young Forever, Dr. Mark Hyman challenges us to reimagine our biology, health, and the process of aging. To uncover the secrets to longevity, he explores the biological hallmarks of aging, their causes, and their consequences—then shows us how to overcome them with simple dietary, lifestyle, and emerging longevity strategies. “

A Happy Pocketful of Money
David Cameron Gikandi
”True wealth is not about buckets of cash. True wealth is not about designer clothes. It is not about a new Mercedes. It is not about living in a palatial estate. True wealth is about discovering value within yourself and value within other people. It is about a kind of conscious living that incorporates gratitude, a belief in abundance, and the experience of joy.
Based on the recent discoveries of theoretical physics and a close reading of inspirational classics of the last century, Gikandi creates a new model for the creation of personal wealth; a new model that shows readers how to create abundance by saving, giving, offering charity, and building happy relationships.”
Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth
T. Harv Eker
”In his groundbreaking Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker states: "Give me five minutes, and I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life!" Eker does this by identifying your "money and success blueprint." We all have a personal money blueprint ingrained in our subconscious minds, and it is this blueprint, more than anything, that will determine our financial lives. You can know everything about marketing, sales, negotiations, stocks, real estate, and the world of finance, but if your money blueprint is not set for a high level of success, you will never have a lot of money—and if somehow you do, you will most likely lose it! The good news is that now you can actually reset your money blueprint to create natural and automatic success.”
