Looking For Something Good To Read? 5 Awesome Fiction Books With A Conscious Message
I don’t know about you, but I’ve read countless conscious”self-help” books in an attempt to learn more about myself, how I react, my emotions, and how to continue growing on this never-ending path towards enlightenment. Sometimes it’s an information overload and I completely give up and turn my back on any thing that is even remotely “new agey.” What I have found, however, is that there can be just as much insight hidden within the pages of many different fiction books that tell very insightful and enlightening stories. It can be fun to escape and get completely lost in these stories, not even realizing that you are learning something profound until you are done. With that being said, here is my list of favourite fiction books offering some spiritual or conscious insight.
