1. The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
If you’re just getting into intuition and manifestation, I always recommend starting with The Secret. Here you’ll learn the foundational terminology and learn how to bring these practices to life. This book doesn’t dive into creativity necessarily, but you can apply these practices to your passion projects, career and any creative goals and aspirations you have.
2. The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
The Artist’s Way beautifully marries intuition and creativity together. Surprisingly, this is a recent read of mine and I can’t believe I have lived my life for so long without it. I fell in love with this book because it provides tangible tips and exercises that strengthen your intuition to improve your craft. If The Intuitive Creative was a book, this would be IT!
3. Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love, wrote this brilliant book about the magic of creativity and how to live a creative lifestyle. This book touches on so many different topics, but my favorite is her dialogue on releasing your limiting beliefs and fears on creating. This book is easily digestible and feels like you’re talking to a friend. 10/10 would recommend.
4. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
While this may be a fictional book, its message is anything but. Follow along the journey of a young shepherd who goes on a grand adventure and finds himself along the way. After reading this one, you’ll find yourself, too, and walk away with many important life lessons. The Alchemist is one of my favorite books I’ve ever read.
5. Practical Intuition by Laura Day
Want to develop your intuitive abilities? Practical Intuition is basically a workshop book for aspiring, beginner intuitives. Each of Laura’s exercises help unlock and strengthen your intuition. This book truly gave me the confidence to trust in myself and my inner voice!
6. The Universe Has Your Back by Gabrielle Bernstein
While anything Gabby Bernstein touches turns to gold, The Universe Has Your Back is a pure gem in the rough. I recommend picking up this read if you have been feeling a lack of control in your life, fearful of the future or lost or directionless. This book helps you learn how to transform your pain into happiness, not only in yourself, but with the world around you.
7. The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield
The Celestine Prophecy is like The Alchemist’s older sister. This book followed me around for a bit. Whenever I went to a bookstore, this book on intuition was always there—almost as if it was meant to find me. (Which is how it finds most people.) It’s an adventure-style novel with a heavy emphasis on spiritual awakenings and becoming your highest self.
