There's an incredible book by Keith Sawyer called ZigZag, The Surprising Path to Greater Creativity.

And if you really want to dive into this subject, I highly recommend it.

Keith Sawyer is a reset psychologist and an author.

And I think some of his advice in this book is fantastic.

And Sawyer talks about it in the book quite heavily.

Also a couple of books I've read recently, actually, Travis Alabanza's book that came out in the UK comes out here, I think next month called None of the Above.

It's just astounding.

Also a British book called A Trans Man Walks Into a Gay Bar by Harry Nicholas, I believe.

Stunning book.

Oh, and I just read a collection of, I don't know if you're familiar with Lou Sullivan.

They've published like massive amount of his diaries, which I just read.

And that was actually quite an interesting read because at first you're reading someone's diary, like it is very, I did this, then I met this person.

And then you really get into the flow of it.

And it's very, you know, it's beautiful. It's emotional and intense.

And Janet Mock's books, which are stunning.

This is a book that I've realized I needed more in my life because of how many people I have in my life that are losing people that they love and I now finally have the book to encourage people to read and receive in their life to know how to honor the people. They love please.

So, you know how much I endorse this book. I recommend a lot of books, but this is a book that I've realized I needed more in my life because of how many people I have in my life that are losing people that they love and I now finally have the book to encourage people to read and receive in their life to know how to honor the people. They love please.

This book should be required reading for anyone wanting to understand how to trust in the light even at the darkest times.
