Written by Olympia Scott

Often times we find ourselves needing a little motivation/inspiration. There are several texts that provide the tools necessary for one to feel not only motivated, also empowered. Feeling powerful is a key ingredient in our personal joy as well as our ability to set goals and our motivation to achieve them. As a motivational speaker, mentor and life coach, I’m constantly being asked for a reading list of this nature. As a result, I felt it prudent to write my ‘10 Inspirational Books to Live By’ list. As I write each individual book review I will add a link to it here. So far I’ve only written a few. These are in no particular order and as life changes, so too may this list be subject to change.
