My Bookshelf
This is a selection of books that currently occupy my bookshelves. None of them are the end-all-final-authority on their subject; almost all of my copies have notes written somewhere in the margin about how I disagree with the author on a certain point. That said, there are many revelatory concepts, curious ideas, helpful insights and inspirational messages to be found within them, and I encourage you to read with discernment, always attuned to your inner truth and wisdom.
