Resources can help us through the many ever-changing elements of our life. There is no one size fits all approach and the best success comes from a defiant curiosity of exploring the vast options available to craft a network of support that works for you.
I highly recommend finding local professionals, friends, families, mentors and the like as people can often be the best resources. When we can’t be right next to someone, words can be the next best things. While I have read thousands of helpful books over the years, these books diversely categorized have been some of the most helpful for me along the way and I hope they help set off your own unique journey to many new experiences.
