A fascinating read by a reknowned biologist about how thoughts and energy affect the cells of our body. Essential reading for all health practitioners, parents, and anyone who truly wishes to understand health.

Blink

Malcolm Gladwell tells lots of interesting stories to illustrate concepts of how our conscious and subconscious mind make instantaneous decisions. A fascinating study of human thought and behaviour.

Buddhism For Busy People
David Michie

This book really inspired me to slow down and really take more of life in. No understanding of Buddhism is necessary. Michie simply takes you on his journey and allows you to take from it what you might need at the time. A very digestible and enjoyable book.

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
Deepak Chopra

This is a good place to start with Dr Deepak. It's not too heavy, but provides some inspiring lessons. I frequently revisit the lessons in this book.

Think and Grow Rich
Napoleon Hill

This book is absolutely timeless and the wisdom within will help you grow rich in every area of your life. The chapter on "Transmutation of Sexual Energy" was particularly interesting and memorable.

A New Earth
Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart's follow up to The Power of Now. I read this beautifully inspiring book while my brother and I were recording our Born to Play album in Nashville Tennessee.

The Breakthrough Experience
John Demartini

This book is amazing! It will change the way you think and approach every situation. Demartini is a visionary.

The Path to Love
Deepak Chopra

A very uplifting book which will open your heart and show you how to achieve your creative potential in life. One of my all time favourites.

You Can Heal Your Life
Louise Hay

I didn't read this book for a long time, because the different covers available are so disgustingly tacky, but it really is an amazing read. The material is ground breaking, and you will have many 'oh yeah' moments throughout. I believe it is important to consider your thought patterns and the effects they can have on your body.

Essential reading for anyone in business. If you want to be successful, getting your head around wealth consciousness is important. Demartini offers strategies for wealth building, and explains how the flow and distribution of wealth in in line with the laws of the universe. These concepts are paramount if you want to know how to best help and serve other people.

A Jazz Odyssey
Oscar Peterson

The world's most recorded pianist has written an epic acount of his life within the jazz world. It is heartbreaking to read about some of the sacrifices he had to make to achieve greatness. Nevertheless, Oscar is an inspiration and a role model to generations of aspiring musicians. A true leader.

The Power of Now
Eckhart Tolle

A really great book which will make you stop and reflect. Being present in everything you do is so important. This book is worth reading twice.

True Spirit
Jessica Watson

Jessica's story is truly inpiring. At 16, she was the youngest person to sail solo, unassisted, and nonstop around the world, and she did so despite so many people attempting to discourge her. I would especially recommend this book to young people who are determined to achieve things in life that are above and beyond the ordinary.

Shantaram
Gregory David Roberts

This is one hell of an adventure. Roberts combines fact and fiction in a compelling way. I read this book while touring in America with the Davidson Brothers band in 2009. I really hope they do end up making this book into a movie.

Hamish's Music Journal; Volume Ten
Hamish Davidson

Haha... I would never let you read my journals, but I have been keeping a daily journal since the year 2000. You should definitely consider keeping a journal for yourself. Suggestions for things to include are goals, dreams, ideas, acheivements, tabs on your progress, inspirational quotes, notes on your readings, reflections on your experiences, etc. You should put your current vision and mission statements near front of each journal. Include photos, tickets, and momentos. Make note of who you are interacting with in your life, what lessons they are teaching you, and how they effect you.
