Books
What would life be without books? Books are friends. And often, when I close a book, I mourn it for a few minutes. But then I remember, they are there to be read all over again if we want to. You'll find here an un-exhaustive list of books I like. I'll try to remember to update this page frequently.

Honestly, I don't like the verb "to fail". Because, if you learn when something goes wrong, you win. You win experience and you get closer to your goals. That is the whole premise of this book. Tough love and optimism. You can't miss this one.

I have resisted meditation for the longest time. It was not for me, I was not good at it, it was a waste of time... Sounds familiar? Caitlin Cady changed my mind. In a simple, witty, down to earth way, she teaches you what meditation is, what it is not and how to do it. Good read.
