Favorite Books of 2024

I read a lot of books, especially a lot of self-help and self-improvement books. I love tapping into an author’s years of experience that has gotten them to a more fulfilling life, and I can do that by reading several hundred pages of their books!

When I looked back onto my bookshelf, I found more books from 2024 than I even remembered reading!  It was hard to pick my favorites, but here you go. They are in no particular order, other than the last one is what I am reading now.

• Oversubscribed by Daniel Priestley – This book was a recommendation from one of my podcast guests, and I immediately bought it and read it on the first day of my vacation. It is Daniel’s theory about how to get people lining up to do business with you. I was enthralled with his concepts. 7-11-4 is one, as is the belief that you don’t need a huge audience; you just need the right one. This is a must-read for any entrepreneur.
• Burn Your Sh*t by Lori Dyan – This amazing book is all about rituals and, in particular, the ones around the new and full moon. If you follow me on Instagram, I frequently post about Lori and her tarot card readings. She also hosts a monthly IG Live around full moon rituals, which I also post and participate in. I have learned so much from Lori about the value of rituals, reframing our desires, and respecting the energies of the moon and the planets. This is an easy, educational read, and Lori is hysterical! She is an upcoming podcast guest, with her episode launching on 1/ 23/25.
• Feels Better Flows Better: Feng Shui for Inspired Living by Kerri Miller – Kerri was a podcast guest earlier this year, and her episode received so many great responses. She makes understanding Feng Shui simple and something you can easily implement in your home. I learned so much about how to make simple changes within my home to improve its energy.
• 10X is Easier than 2X by Dan Sullivan – I read this book back in January of 2024, and it changed my entire outlook for my business. The emphasis on it being easier to grow by 10x with the right focus and changes, really resonated with me. I plan to re-read this one in January 2025 to re-align my 10x goals.

• Positively Wealthy by Emma Mumford – I read this early into 2024 and followed each day’s exercises, journal prompts, and meditations to a tee! This book is a road map to 33 days of manifesting wealth and abundance in all areas of your life. I need to get Emma onto the Podcast! This is a great read to start off 2025 with the right mindset toward abundance and action steps to manifest your goals.
• Becoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe Dispenza – This was my October Wellness Challenge book. It is very technical and scientific, so I expected it to be boring, but I was very wrong! This book is fascinating! You learn about the power of your mind to heal and the power of meditation. I still have a little bit more to read, but I plan to finish it this month. “How common people are doing the Uncommon.” It is a powerful read!
• The Astrology Advantage by The Astro Twins – I am kicking off the 2025 Podcast season with my interview with Ophira Edut, one half of the Astro Twins, on 1/2/2025. Her book reveals their I*AM approach to astrology. I read the entire book in one night as I was so engrossed in it. I learned so much about myself, how I communicate with others, and why I am the way I am. I laughed out loud, and you will too! Learn the practical ways your astrology can help you with all areas of your life.

• Do the Impossible: Unlock Your Full Potential with the Power of Mindset by Jason Drees – This book was recommended to me by a fellow podcaster, and I was blown away by the simple yet life-changing approach Jason has to Mindset. Not only is manifesting all about your mindset, but it is about the frame in which your mindset works that makes the biggest impact. Learning to identify and reframe your situation is the key that Jason teaches in a very practical way. Frame, Mindset, Action. I look forward to interviewing Jason early in 2025 as a podcast guest.
• The Illusion of Money by Kyle Cease – This is my Dec 2024 read, and I have been more than impressed. I often hear about money just being energy, but Kyle encourages us to spend our time and money on improving ourselves and that is when we move into alignment to attract what we want. I look forward to finishing this book before 2025, and implementing his teachings to improve my relationship with money.

As I move into 2025, here are 3 books that are up next on my reading list:

 

The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron – This was the most recommended book by my podcast guests in 2024. I asked every guest to recommend a book that has impacted them professionally or personally; this was the #1  recommendation.

Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How it Changes Everything by James Doty, MD – I first saw this author on the Mel Robbins Podcast, and I was intrigued by his scientific approach to manifestation. I have joined Julie Vincent of Clear Space for Joy, for her January mindful book club where Julie will guide us through reading this book. For my local CT friends, if you are interested, please join Julie in January for her mindful book club. Julie will also be an upcoming podcast guest, and her episode will be released in February.

Not so Fast: The Smarter, More Gradual Approach to Intermittent Fasting Benefits that Last by Marisa Moon – I am interviewing Marisa in January as a podcast guest, and I am excited to read her book to learn more. I do practice intermittent fasting, but I can learn so much more through her book. It arrived today and is 450 pages full of education and action steps!

I hope you take advantage of some of these great reads. Leave a comment below to share your personal favorite 2024 reads, so we can all learn about more powerful books to add to our lists!
