08: 5 BOOKS TO READ AT YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT
For many of us, getting our hair done is a treasured time to sit back, relax and feel totally pampered. We encourage you to disconnect to reconnect; make the most of your downtime and give yourself the gift of truly switching off by swapping out the scrolling for a good book. Here are our top 5 picks to read at your next appointment (well, anytime!), or pick up one from our selection available in-salon.
This One Wild and Precious Life
Sarah Wilson
This book is the path back to connection in a fractured world. Learn how to navigate these overwhelming times and find a radically hopeful path forward. Drawing on science, literature, philosophy, world-leading experts and her personal journey, Sarah lights the way back to the life we love. Be encouraged to boldly and wildly imagine better, & forge a new path to find a new way of living.
2. Greenlights
Matthew McConaughey
Get inspired by this part memoir, part life guide in what Matthew McConaughey calls his “love letter to life”. He thought-provokingly takes you through his personal life lessons and guides you to catch more green lights - and realising that the yellow and red lights eventually turn green too.
3. Untamed
Glennon Doyle
Untamed is an intimate memoir and a startling wake-up call. Read how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. This is the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honour our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts.
4. How To Do The Work
Dr Nicole LePera
Holistic psychologist Dr Nicole LePera teaches her revolutionary approach to healing that harnesses the power of the self to produce lasting change. Developing a united philosophy of mental, physical and spiritual wellness, LePera’s book offers the support and tools to break yourself free from destructive behaviours to reclaim and recreate your life, and changes the way we approach mental wellness and self-care.
5. The Moonflower Monologues
Tess Guinery
Sit back with this beautiful collection of thoughtful poetry and prose by celebrated Australian artist Tess Guinery. Infused with her introspection, stillness and kindness, read her exploration into strength, femininity and letting things go wrong, and be reminded that growth comes in many forms.
