One way to view creativity is to see it as a spiritual practice. The Artist's Way is a simple but deeply impactful tool kit to help you create your own spiritual practice, whatever that looks like to you.

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck

I feel like this book is an essential for so many reasons. Talent is not everything.

by Bruce Fink

Parts of Lacan's theory I find very helpful in my work with my clients, especially his emphasis on the importance of language, his thoughts on desire, and how he views the relationship that people form with their symptoms.
