Grow with the Flow: Guesscreative's Book List for Personal Growth

Updated: 1 day ago

We become what we think about. I want to share some of the most powerful books that I've read over the years. I know no one reads anymore but these books are my strongest recommendations to shift your perspective on life and yourself. Each book is linked to Amazon so you can order an interesting book with the quickness. I find myself attached to my phone so I try to put down the phone and pick up a good book.



This book is all about the power of small, consistent actions. Hardy reveals how tiny steps, made consistently over time, can lead to massive transformations in life and work. The Compound Effect has changed the way I look at daily habits and the importance of building momentum. It’s a guide to staying accountable and doubling down on the habits that build the future you want.


"Small, smart choices + consistency + time = radical difference."



This classic is all about the power of thought and the impact of belief on achieving our dreams. Nightingale's message—that we become what we think about—truly reshapes your outlook on life, success, and happiness. Listening to this every day for two years transformed my mindset, reminding me that we have control over our reality through focused intention. It’s an essential guide for anyone seeking purpose and clarity.


"We become what we think about."




This book is a foundational guide to the concept that our thoughts shape our reality. The Power of Awareness provides practical insights into harnessing the power of our minds to bring about desired change. Goddard dives deep into the connection between consciousness and experience, teaching readers that true transformation begins from within.


"Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live."

Dr. Schwartz dives into the healing power of frequencies and how they can bring balance and harmony to our lives. Primal Resonance discusses the science of vibration, sound, and energy, offering practical tools to use frequency for mental, emotional, and physical health. It’s a fascinating look at the role of sound in health, making it a unique read for those interested in holistic wellness and personal transformation.


"Health is the foundation of happiness, and sound is the foundation of health."

The Way of The Superior Man is a must read for every young man discovering what manhood means to him. I would make it required reading if I could. The book discusses mindset, purpose, dealing with women, intimacy and your dark side.


The biggest concept that I learned from this book is that when a woman complains to you about a problem, (unless she asks) she just wants you to listen. Don't try to fix everything. That easily dissolved the tension in a lot of conversation that I've had with women over the years.


"Every moment waited is a moment wasted, and each wasted moment degrades your clarity of purpose"

This book explains how accomplishment is not a hindrance to the spiritual path but a means of developing the ability to achieve what one wishes and ultimately to achieve the purpose of one's life. It is one of my favorite books that explains purpose, mindset, desire, self-discipline, mastery, & the knowledge of self.


"If man does not realize the kingdom of God within himself, nor realize his spirit to be a king, he does not accomplish the purpose of life."


"The wise speak with their mind many times before they speak about it to anybody."


Carson’s work brings ancient wisdom to light, exploring the teachings of the Emerald Tablets. It’s both metaphysical and enlightening, discussing concepts from ancient Egyptian texts that resonate with personal growth, the universe’s mysteries, and the essence of human existence. If you’re seeking a book that will expand your awareness and connect you with ancient principles, this is a powerful read.


"Within each of us is a divine essence that holds the power of creation."



This is more of a dense & intellectual read but it breaks down the ancient African origins still prevalent in our unconscious thinking. It's very insightful. It touches on the African diaspora, the soul, spirituality, religion, medicine, Kemetic Egypt, Mysticism, Psychology, Philosophy, the perception of Black people & Yoga.


"Matter is repressed light, and light is the most subtle expression of spirit."
