Favorite Reads: Power vs. Force (Dr. David Hawkins), because it quantifies how every act, thought and choice we make adds to a permanent mosaic in the universe. The Way of the Superior Man (David Deida) because it shows us the unstoppable forces of ying and yang why and why polarity brings happiness in relationship.

Lastly, Ralph Waldo Emerson’s On Self Reliance essay – because it taught me true responsibility (and it’s insanely poetic).
