Similar to The Four Agreements, a staple travel book that I have lended out many of times, and therefore have repurchased equally as much. - JM

Untamed
“The Ache is love. The Ache was never warning me: This ends, so leave. She was saying: This ends, so stay.” Sit with this (after you read the book).

Sometimes you just need real truth with real story about a real person. That, and we love Amy Poehler.
