212: The Best Health and Wellness Books Everyone Should Read (or Listen to)

Books are an incredible way to gain knowledge, insight and to help yourself live a better, fuller life. Instead of telling you what's in my brain, this episode is dedicated to sharing my favourite health and wellness books with you.

In this episode, I break down my 8 favourite health and wellness books (plus 4 honourable mentions) so you can equip yourself with the tools you need to be healthy and to heal.

I'll give you the book title, the author, book length (pages and listen time on audio), the premise/overall message, my favourite takeaways and some quotes from each book.

And if you want to do some more reading or listen to these books afterward, I've left each title and author down below.
