I highly recommend paying for a Scribd subscription to read endless books. Of course, buying straight from the author to support their work is also recommended! Also, even though I have read these books it does not mean I practice all that I’ve read. I enjoy reading outside my practice to both understand and respect other practices and the work they do.
