Of course, the bibliography is full of books that helped to inspire and inform this book, but there are many books that are a feast of beauty. I highly recommend reading books (or listening to audio books) that have words of inspiration and make you feel beautiful and awestruck. Here is my recommended reading list of books that are fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, to bring more beauty into your life. This is just a starting point. There are so many other beautiful books in the world.
