• 12 must read self-development books

    “I don’t know about you, but I love reading. I love getting lost in words, creating my own universe through a story. It’s a real moment for me, like being in a bubble and connected to the present moment while losing track of time.

    Personal development books have always brought me a lot and many of them have guided me through life changes and transformations.

    Here is a list of 12 books that have guided me and brought me enlightenment in recent years, including love, personal development, relationships, and confidence. They have also given me the strength to accomplish and realize my desires. I have read some of them several times, interpreting them differently each time, and I’ll probably read them again.

    I hope you find your happiness. Enjoy your reading.

    xoxo – Juju.”
