Self-Love Non-Fiction

Physician of the Soul:  This is a book I discovered when I was recovering from cancer.  I am familiar with the ideas that the purpose of a Jewish man is to study the Torah, or the purpose of a Jewish man is to perform the mitzvot.   This book says that the purpose of a sick person is to get well.

72 Names of God Meditation:  This seems like any little book of daily mediation, but it is grounded in the Kabbalah.  Kabbalahists believe that saying certain names of God has special power.  This book gives the 3-letter names of God.  Observant Jews recite the entire Torah during the year, because it is a name of God.  It is believed that God created the world by saying the Word.  We don't know what the Word is, but we know it is a discrete structure like DNA.

Strength Finder 2.0 You are not the sum of your abilities, but sometimes its useful to know what your abilities are.

Why is it Always About You?
 If you have a narcissist too prominent in your life, you're about to feel small, depressed, and unable to do what you should be doing.  You are neither the giant of your dreams or the dwarf of your nightmares.  The first step is understanding fully what the narcissist is doing.

Yoga Nidra for Peace and Meditation:  I can never get enough of this recording.  Much is what is great and lovable about ourselves is not our individuality, but what we generally have in common.
