We have a very motivational story behind this week’s Inspired By! Amy B. Scher is not only the author of the inspirational memoir This is How I Save My Life, but she is also an energy therapy practitioner helping those in need of emotional healing to identify, release and move forward in their lives.  These are Amy’s picks for her favorite inspiring books:

You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay

This book shares the message that we are each responsible for our own reality and disease. Each illness mentioned in the book has a positive, healing affirmation to help cure it.

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

Two years after putting her cancer in remission, Hazel meets a stranger at her cancer support group who makes her re-examine how sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind.

The Geography Of Bliss by Eric Weiner

Eric Weiner takes his journalistic experience and creates a book that is equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and philosophical, a journey into both the definition of and the destination for true contentment.

Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom

Albom’s book writes about the difference faith can make in the world, based on conversations between him and his rabbi leading up to writing the rabbi’s eulogy.

The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery

Paloma and Renée hide both their true talents and their finest qualities from a world they suspect cannot or will not appreciate them. This is a moving, funny and triumphant novel that exalts the quiet victories of the inconspicuous among us.
