Over the years, certain books have stayed with us; not just as ideas on a page, but as quiet companions during moments of change.

Some helped us ask better questions. Others gave us language for things we had felt but couldn't yet name.

We've gathered a few of them here: some we return to again and again, others we now recommend to clients as we work through sessions together.

They are not required reading — more like signposts, offered in case they're useful on your own path.

Orbital — Samantha Harvey

A wonderful book grounded in many scientific facts reminding us about the precious planet we live on.
It is a quiet, meditative read that reminds us how small shifts in perspective can change everything.

What Color Is Your Parachute? (Workbook) — Richard N. Bolles

A practical, hands-on companion for anyone navigating a career or life transition — useful for working through real questions, not just reading about them.
This is recommended material for the Life Navigator package.

Storyworthy — Matthew Dicks

A book about finding the meaning in our everyday moments — and learning to tell our own story with honesty and heart.
This can be a useful companion if you want to write blog or other social media posts about meaningful events as part of marketing your business.

Tuesdays with Morrie — Mitch Albom

A tender reminder of what truly matters when we slow down enough to ask.

Keep Moving — Maggie Smith

Short, daily reflections on resilience and reinvention, written during one of the author's hardest seasons. A gentle companion for anyone in transition.
Sylvia uses this as daily source of inspiration.

Der Junge, der auf einem Esel ritt —
Nestor T. Kolee

A tender story about a young man who, after losing his father, sets out on a journey that becomes far more inward than it first appears.
What stayed with us most is its quiet insistence on living a purposeful life — and on paying attention to our dreams, even the ones we've long stopped listening to.

And if there's a book that has shaped your path - one that found you at the right moment, or asked something of you that you needed asking - we'd love to hear about it. Send us a title, and who knows, it might just find its way onto this list.
