Open by Andre Agassi. Even if you don’t like tennis (I don’t), it’s a fantastic read. So very interesting.

On Writing by Stephen King. It’s a book for authors, but it’s really more of an autobiography with a lot of insight into his life and writing process.

Anything by Wayne Dyer. His books are about self-growth and so filled with joy.

Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist by Brian L. Weiss. This is the story of a psychiatrist who had his entire life transformed after treating a patient. He was on Oprah and several other well known TV shows.

I have not read that murakami yet but now I think I’ll move it up in the queue. Of course he could write about him running and make it wonderful.

For true crime I’ll Be Gone in the dark was fantastic.
I also really enjoyed Hillbilly Elegy
I also read No one tell you this – a memoir of a woman turning 40 and child free, and it was everything
