Business
Zen Entrepreneurship
This book by Rizwan Virk, a successful entrepreneur and angel investor, is a recent discovery for us. All we can say is, it’s awesome! We stumbled upon this one serendipitously and are so grateful we did! As the author himself says in the book, “there are no accidents”. Zen Entrepreneurship is full of wisdom and practical guidance, all woven into an intriguing story of one man’s journey of self discovery and transformation. Virk refers to this as the “path of the career warrior” and provides detailed steps on how you, too, can find success by walking it.
Creativity in Business
For those interested in creativity, innovation, and integrating intuition with work and business, we recommend Creativity in Business by Michael Ray and Rochelle Myers. Named one of the nine “Greatest Business Books Ever Written” by Inc. magazine, Creativity in Business is based on the famed Stanford Business School course founded and taught by Ray. The book is much more comprehensive than its title suggests. In addition to providing specific exercises to foster creativity and remove creative blocks, it covers a wide range of topics that ties it all together.
Life Purpose
Soul Lessons and Soul Purpose
Soul Lessons and Soul Purpose is another book by world-renowned intuition expert Sonia Choquette that we absolutely love. We cannot recommend it highly enough. It is a truly a wonderful companion on your journey of self discovery, particularly suited to those seeking clarity on their purpose in life. Sonia says that this book was “channeled”, but don’t let that put you off. This is a down-to-earth book full of insight, wisdom, and practical information. It is very fun and easy to read, yet profound and life changing at the same time. If you feel drawn to this book in any way, we highly suggest you get yourself a copy. You can even take a peek inside the book on Amazon. ;-)
Soul Lessons and Soul Purpose Oracle Cards App
This is the iPhone app version of Sonia Choquette’s oracle card deck based on the book Soul Lessons and Soul Purpose (see above). It’s a great way to get quick tidbits of wisdom and inspiration while on the go, plus gives you the perfect opportunity to flex your intuitive muscles. Tip: When using this app, or similar type of card deck, take notes in your Intuition Journal.
