Words hold immense power. They have the power to soothe, heal, guide, and inspire. When you’re feeling heavy and alone, words have the power to either lift you up or meet you where you are, sitting with you in this quiet space, reminding you that you aren’t alone.
Why do we gravitate towards poetry books about self-love? I think it’s because they remind us that even in solitude, we’re never truly alone.
For every person, there is a book that they’ll connect to like no other–a book that will feel like it was written just for them. These books remind you that nothing about you needs to be fixed. You are whole and complete, even as you continue to grow.
Below, discover 11 beautiful poetry books about self-love, self-acceptance, and embracing your own inner transformation. These books are profound additions to your personal collection as you can come back to them over and over again throughout your own self-love journey.
They also make for some of my absolutely favorite gifts–especially for no reason except to show someone that you see them, you’re thinking about them, and you’re grateful they exist.
We’re all on our own journeys of personal growth, self-discovery, and self-acceptance. I hope these books can guide you in yours.

Pin this for later! 10 Best Manifestation Books for 2024 Getting Started With Manifestation Books
When I first started learning about manifestation and the Law of Attraction, I remember devouring every single bit of information I could get my hands on.
I saved manifestation podcasts and listened to them on my morning runs, reveling in every new secret I learned.
I combed the deepest corners of Google, inhaling every new piece of information I could find like it was oxygen.
And I ordered book after book on the Law of Attraction, ending up with a pile next to my desk that grew quicker than I could even read them.
So you could say, I got a little excited.
But you know what? I’m grateful for that excitement. I’m grateful for the hours spent each day learning about manifestation and putting all of these newfound lessons and techniques into practice.
You know why?
Because it absolutely, unequivocally changed my life for the better.
For one, I wouldn’t be writing this to you right now if I hadn’t gone all in on manifestation. If I hadn’t taken those initial steps, I don’t think I ever would’ve gained the confidence and self-belief to decide I was worthy of my dreams.
Since those early months of learning about the Law of Attraction, I’ve manifested incredible experiences into my life, most of them far beyond what I had ever envisioned for myself. Some of the things I’ve manifested have been almost exactly what I visualized.
And the rest? Well, most of the time, it turns out even better than I hoped it would.
And it truly comes down to this: I believed in myself enough to decide I wanted more from my life, and then I listened to my intuition and took inspired action to make it happen.
Because books played such a pivotal role in my journey, I wanted to share some of the best manifestation books I’ve read over the past several years. All of these books are unique in their own way, but each one brilliantly discusses manifestation, personal growth, and how to develop the courage and confidence to create the life of your dreams.
Below, I’ve listed 10 of the best books for manifestation, but since that’s not nearly enough, I’ve added a bonus list with even more books at the bottom of this post.
Check out these inspiring books and be prepared to become a manifesting pro in no time.
Best Manifestation Books
Super Attractor
Gabrielle Bernstein is a household name in the manifestation space, and for good reason. She’s the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Universe Has Your Back and has written multiple bestselling books. What makes Super Attractor so special is that it’s essentially a complete how-to book on manifestation, outlining all of the essential methods for manifesting a life even greater than you can imagine.
What I love about Bernstein’s writing is that she writes like your loving, supportive friend, and above all, she encourages fun, relaxation, joy, and feeling good. This is the book that removes difficulty and struggle from manifestation and shows you how fun it can be to create the life of your dreams.
For even more support in your manifestation journey, be sure to check out her Super Attractor Affirmation Cards and Super Attractor Journal as well!
Manifest Your Destiny
I’d wholeheartedly recommend any of Wayne Dyer’s books to support you in your spiritual and personal growth journey, but if I had to choose one specifically for manifestation, it’d have to be Manifest Your Destiny: The Nine Spiritual Principles for Getting Everything You Want.
I don’t know if anything I write here can really do this book justice. Manifest Your Destiny teaches manifestation through the art of meditation and explores the nine spiritual principles for overcoming the “I can’t do that,” mentality so you can begin creating the life of your dreams. This is an extraordinary book that will help you to become your highest and most authentic self as you learn how to manifest a life beyond your wildest dreams.
Ask and It Is Given
First, I encourage you to go into this powerful book with an open mind and an open heart. If you don’t know anything about Esther Hicks and Abraham Hicks, I’d also encourage you to do a little research before reading this book. I know some people become preoccupied with the question of whether or not it’s all “real.” My take? It doesn’t really matter. Why? Because every single word in this book, whether it comes from Esther or Abraham or something else entirely, is meant to serve and support your ultimate well-being.
Ask and It Is Given is all about showing you how you have the power to create the beautiful life of your dreams, and it gives more practical guidance and easily accessible practices that you can use to raise your vibration than I’ve found anywhere else. At the heart of this book, it’s all about teaching you to accept the joy, love, peace, and happiness that you deserve. And personally, I can’t think of anything more beautiful.
The Power of Now
The Power of Now isn’t marketed as a manifestation book, but I’d argue that the concepts and ideas Eckhart Tolle presents in his acclaimed book are vital if you want to begin manifesting anything into your experience.
While visualization of the future is a powerful tool in manifestation, there’s arguably nothing more powerful than the power you hold in this present moment. In each and every moment, we choose the energy we put out into the world, and by offering positive vibrations in this present moment, we attract more positive vibrations to come our way. But living in the present moment isn’t easy for most of us, which is why I love Eckhart Tolle’s book for manifestation. It takes you on a powerful journey of spiritual and personal growth and teaches you how to connect with yourself and live in this moment right now.
You Can Heal Your Life
As a positive affirmation devotee, I’m a big fan of Louise Hay, who is known for her powerful affirmations and her positive words. You Can Heal Your Life is all about helping you to discover and cultivate unconditional self-love and self-worth. It gently guides you to take accountability for your own life and understand that everything that you put out into the world is what you receive.
I’ll admit, this can be either a positive thing or triggering for some depending on your willingness to take ownership of the events in your life. But if you’re willing to embrace ownership of your life’s story, you’ll see it as a beautiful opportunity to start creating the incredible life you’ve always desired.
The Magic of Manifesting
What I love most about The Magic of Manifesting is that it acts like a practical handbook that you can continually come back to as you walk forward in your journey of manifestation. Ryuu Shinohara’s book discusses both the scientific and spiritual basis of manifestation and gives you 15 practical techniques you can start using today to manifest your best life.
There isn’t any fluff here; Shinohara’s book is full of powerful practices and accessible explanations and ideas that explain not only what to do, but why these techniques work. This book is for anyone who wants to learn more about manifestation while gaining some valuable practices you can start utilizing today.
Becoming Supernatural
Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Becoming Supernatural is a bit different than most of the other books on this list. It’s based in science and uses research in neuroscience, epigenetics, psychoneuroimmunology, neurocardiology, electromagnetism, and quantum physics to show the extraordinary potential of the human mind. This is a step-by-step guide that shows you how to create the extraordinary new life you’re capable of living.
If you’ve ever listened to Dr. Joe speak, you know there’s always an excitement and buzz underlying his spoken words. That same buzz is present in his written words, too, and it’ll leave you both captivated and enthusiastic about discovering your own supernatural potential.
Infinite Possibilities
The underlying thesis in Infinite Possibilities is exactly what the title says: you are filled with infinite possibilities, and you have the power to create your own future and to live a life of extraordinary happiness. Mike Dooley says his mission in this book is to show you how powerful you are, how far you can reach, and how much you deserve, and I can personally attest that it won’t take long as you’re reading this book before you begin to believe that’s true.
I love the way Dooley inspires and encourages, and I especially love his assertion that your dreams aren’t yours by accident; they’re what’s meant to be. Start believing you deserve it, and you can create anything you can dream of (and more).
Dear Universe
Sarah Prout’s Dear Universe: 200 Mini-Meditations for Instant Manifestation is packed with powerful practices and guidance that you can start incorporating into your life today. Prout pinpoints one of the biggest hurdles that stops us from manifesting our dreams–fear–and dedicates 100 mini-meditations to rising above fear so you can open yourself up and move closer towards your dreams. She dedicates the other 100 mini-meditations to embracing love so you can start feeling the positive emotions of your desired manifestation today.
What I love about this book is that it acts like your own personal companion that supports you on your journey, no matter how you’re feeling. Each mini-meditation is dedicated to a specific emotion, such as anger or uncertainty. So if you’re feeling a certain emotion, you can flip to that page in the book and follow the guidance on the page.
The Secret
Finally, I feel like it’d be remiss of me to create a list of the best manifestation books without including The Secret. It certainly wasn’t the first manifestation book, but it was the one that got the world’s attention, for good reason. There’s something about the way Rhonda Byrne presents the information in this book that makes it feel like it’s the truth you’ve been waiting for your entire life. If you’re a beginning manifestor, I think this is the perfect gateway to learning more about the Law of Attraction and beginning to unlock your manifestation superpowers today. (This is the one that got me started, and it’s been an incredible journey ever since!)

Pin this for later! 8 Best Astrology Books (For Beginners & Advanced) What Is Astrology?
Astrology is the study of how distant objects in the cosmos (such as the sun and the moon) can influence our human lives, including how they shape our personalities and impact our behaviors.
In essence, it’s the study of the relationship between the cosmos and the earth – or how cosmic events can affect and influence earthly objects and events.
The sun, moon, and each planet have an important role to play in astrology. And by understanding the role they play in your own life, you can begin putting the pieces together of your own identity, sense of self, life focus, and more.
Of course, this is just a very general, basic definition, and to expand your knowledge, it’s important to look to the experts for a deeper understanding. Below, I’ve collected eight of the best astrology books for beginners and intermediate astrologers alike. These books offer profound insight into your birth chart and your own relationship to wealth, career, love, and more.
I’ve also offered some details about each book, including which are best for beginners and which are better for more experienced astrologers, so you can find the astrology book that best suits your needs.

The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need
A book with the title The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need better deliver, and luckily, this one does. Joanna Martine Woolfolk’s comprehensive guide offers detailed information on Sun signs, Moon signs, Ascending signs, and more. Additionally, you’ll learn about each sign in extensive detail, including compatibility between the signs as well as insight into one’s emotional needs and deep motivations. This is a great book for beginners looking to dive in and expand their knowledge of astrology.
The Stars Within You: A Modern Guide To Astrology
The first thing you’ll notice about Juliana McCarthy’s The Stars Within You is its gorgeous illustrations (done by Alejandro Cardenas). Once you start exploring the pages deeper, you’ll find a profound roadmap to discovering the inner you. This book is a great resource for learning how to read your own birth chart, in turn deepening your self-awareness and providing you with the missing link to a life of true fulfillment.
Tarot and Astrology: Enhance Your Readings With the Wisdom of the Zodiac
I love Corrine Keller’s Tarot and Astrology because it offers a different perspective to the standard astrology book. If you’re looking for just an astrology book, I’d recommend going for one of the others on this list. But if you’re interested in learning about the link between the worlds of tarot and astrology, you won’t be disappointed with this book. You’ll learn how each card in the tarot deck relates to astrology and receive all the information you need to give meaningful and profound readings to yourself and others.
Parkers’ Astrology: The Definitive Guide to Using Astrology in Every Aspect of Your Life
Julia and Derek Parker’s Parker’s Astrology is for the person who already knows the basics of astrology and wants an intermediate/next-level guide to help expand your knowledge. At 496 pages, this is a big book, filled with beautiful illustrations, practical information, explanations, guidance, and more. If you’re an aspiring astrologer or someone who is eager to learn as much about astrology as you possibly can, you’ll definitely want this one on your bookshelf.
Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Astrology: The Easy Way to Learn Astrology
Despite its title, Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Astrology is actually best suited for someone who already has a fundamental grasp of the basics and is looking to deepen their understanding of astrology. Author and astrologer Kris Brandt provides all the essentials of astrology while focusing on three essential areas of your life: love, career, and money. This is a super detailed guidebook (you might think of it kind of like a college textbook) that provides you with practical techniques for improving all aspects of your life.
Astrology: Using the Wisdom of the Stars in Your Everyday Life
Astrology: Using the Wisdom of the Stars in Your Everyday Life is a fun, colorful, reference-style book that offers detailed information without ever feeling overwhelming. If you wanted to place an astrology book on your coffee table and share it with friends, this is the one you’d want to choose. It’s beautiful, well-organized, concise, and offers great information for beginners who are curious to learn more about the world of astrology.
My First Zodiac Book
Okay, so clearly this one isn’t for adults, but I wanted to add this one to the list for any astrologers or aspiring astrologers who have little ones in their lives. My First Zodiac Book, written by Nicole Sagesse and illustrated by Jana Walther, is an adorable and beautifully illustrated intro to astrology for kids. It offers an introduction to the zodiac signs, planets, and elements as well as new vocabulary words and beautiful illustrations to delight children and adults alike.
The Astrology of You and Me: How to Understand and Improve Every Relationship in Your Life
Gary Goldschneider’s The Astrology of You and Me offers a detailed look into how each sign of the zodiac acts in different relationships in their lives. Specifically, it hones in on your relationships in the areas of work, love, and friends and family. Not only how will you gain deeper insight into how you act in various relationships in your life, but it will also help you to better understand your friends, coworkers, and family members (as long as you know their sun sign). This one’s a great option if you’re looking for something a little different than the typical astrology guidebook.
