13 things mentally strong people don't do by Amy Morin. It’s stuff I knew but somehow forgot.

“Hope Will Find You: My Search for the Wisdom to Stop Waiting and Start Living by Rabbi Naomi Levy https://www.amazon.com/Hope-Will-Find-You-Waiting/dp/0385531702

It has been helpful as I’m working on being more present. With chronic illness it is easy to look at life as- before you got sick, and hope for a cure/“after I’m better.” I’m trying to remind myself of the value I have now and how to enjoy the present. This book has helped.

My Traitor's Heart by Rhian Malan.

A Path Appears or Half the Sky by Nick Kristof and Sheryl Wudunn

I loved The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Milan Kundera) for the idea that the heavy things in life are also what give it depth and meaning.

I am making some major changes in my life on several levels. I want to keep my head in the right place, and be inspired as much as I can. Please recommend books either fiction or non fiction (self help or somewhat spiritual ok), that were inspiring to you! Thank you!
