These are some of the books and other resources I use for personal development research projects and, well, personal development 🙂 :
This is my goto for inspiration on being my best self. I came across this site when I was going through a dark time in my life. There are a lot of things on this site to help make one realize that we have more control over our reality than we realize.
Emotional Intelligence – by Daniel Goleman
Wherever You Go, There You Are – by Jon Kabat-Zinn
The Fifth Discipline – by Peter M. Senge
OK, we’re not just developing our minds and our hearts here, we need to develop our bodies as well, if we can; it’s part of the package 🙂 This is one of my favorite free weight workouts. I used to do it exactly as presented here but I’ve since modified it a bit to suit my own particular circumstances. It is, however, essentially, the same. It boils down to heavy lifting, high volume, and compound lifts to target multiple muscles simultaneously in three 45 minute (give or take) workouts per week.
No More Trouble Zones – by Jillian Michaels
This video is intense for beginners to early intermediates. It’s about 45 minutes of strength training cardio. It’s one of the workouts I do on my off months of straight up strength training. I’ve used a few of her other videos and this is definitely my favorite and, as far as I’m concerned, the most comprehensive.
