Why am I passionate about this?

I’ve been on a lifelong quest to understand the deeper layers of consciousness and identity. A déjà vu moment in my thirties changed everything—setting me on a path to rediscover forgotten wisdom and question the surface of reality. I write from this place of remembering: to help others navigate their path back to truth, wholeness, and self-trust. These books were milestones for me, each helping to flip the coin from fear to sovereignty.

Patti Williams Why I love this book

I loved this book because it helped answer many of the questions I had about my existence. Coming from an unhappy childhood, I’ve always questioned: Who am I? Why am I here? Why do I have this life and not another?

My search led me to many self-help books, yet few match this, which opened a doorway to becoming present to the life I have with a new consciousness. When I focus on the current moment and leave the past and the future behind, I find space for life to unfold naturally, leading me to achieve my greatest goals with ease and the quiet help of Universal knowingness.

Book cover of The Hero's Journey

Patti Williams Why I love this book

I love Joseph Campbell’s work because he reveals the deeper archetypal patterns beneath daily life. By following this book, as he envisioned it, I’ve found that challenges that once felt like mountains became stepping stones, each revealing deeper wisdom.

His work helped me see that transformation isn’t about striving harder—it’s about facing the ordeal and returning to ourselves, whole. I’ve always loved mythology and believe in the magic of the human spirit. Campbell’s vision gave me a mythological method for seeing my own life through the eyes of the timeless story.

What is this book about?

Joseph Campbell, arguably the greatest mythologist of the twentieth century, was certainly one of our greatest storytellers. This masterfully crafted book interweaves conversations between Campbell and some of the people he inspired, including poet Robert Bly, anthropologist Angeles Arrien, filmmaker David Kennard, Doors drummer John Densmore, psychiatric pioneer Stanislov Grof, Nobel laureate Roger Guillemen, and others. Campbell reflects on subjects ranging from the origins and functions of myth, the role of the artist, and the need for ritual to the ordeals of love and romance. With poetry and humor, Campbell recounts his own quest and conveys the excitement of his…

Book cover of The Science of Self-Empowerment

Patti Williams Why I love this book

I have read many of Gregg Braden’s books over the years, and he remains one of my favorite authors for blending science with spiritual truths. This book spoke directly to the part of me that has long questioned the surface narrative—and corresponded with my belief that our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs actively shape the world we experience.

I particularly love Braden’s work with heart-brain synchronicity. This helped me move from being a “control freak” to living with a more alive sense of awareness of my true nature.

What is this book about?

New in paperback (originally published as Human by Design): At the cutting edge of science and spirituality, New York Times best-selling author Gregg Braden explains that evolution is not the whole story of humanity--and offers a new understanding of our origins that can help us tap the extraordinary abilities we already have.

What would it mean to discover we're designed to live extraordinary lives of self-healing, longevity, and deep intuition? Is it possible that the advanced awareness achieved by monks, nuns, and mystics--considered rare in the past--is actually meant to be a normal part of our daily lives?

Book cover of The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

Patti Williams Why I love this book

This book gave me an action plan for living the life I’ve always wanted. Looking closely at the hidden agreements that had shaped my life, I began noticing the words I used—with myself and others—and realized how often I had lived by expectations I hadn’t even chosen.

Ruiz’s simple truths gave me the space to breathe, listen inwardly, and begin accepting myself without apology. His work helped me remember that loving myself is not selfish—it is essential. I have since let go of judgment, both of myself and others, and found a peace I never knew was possible.

Book cover of The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

Patti Williams Why I love this book

From this book, I have a new mantra, “let it go,” and I find myself going even deeper into the subject of consciousness through observing my thoughts and emotions. I have become more alert to when my ego speaks and can identify the parts that are not me. My practice is to thank my ego for its input, that I have everything under control, and to just relax and let me go about my life. 

I’ve learned that I can follow the flow of life through creating intentions and letting the Universe take care of form, bringing me the highest frequency of my wish, beyond what I would have created through struggle and control. This has led me to an inner peace and contentment that I would not have imagined in the past.

What is this book about?

Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you find out how elusive it really is. Are you a physical body? A collection of experiences and memories? A partner to relationships? Each time you consider aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more to you than any of these can define. In this book, spiritual teacher Michael Singer explores the question of who we are and arrives at the conclusion that our identity is to be found in our consciousness, the fact of our ability to observe ourselves and the world around us. By tapping into…

Book cover of The Alchemy of Consciousness

What is my book about?

Feeling stuck? That quiet ache inside you might be a doorway. Consider that your emotional patterns, instead of being flaws to fix, are invitations to transform. It explores twelve aspects of flipping the coin of consciousness—including from fear to courage, resentment to peace, and powerlessness to sovereignty.

This book unfolds in two parts. A Shift of the Ages lays the foundation by peeling back layers of illusion and conditioning, helping you rediscover who you are beneath old stories. The Alchemy of Transformation turns awareness into action, guiding you to integrate shadow and light, raise your frequency, and consciously shape your reality. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and what you sense is possible, this book offers a path of remembrance.
