Hey all! I’ve been in a rut lately. I’ve been thinking about how in my twenties and younger I felt like life had so much magic and potential. I really miss that mindset. Could anyone recommend books that might help in any way to get back a little of the ‘spark’?

I will recommend a book or two, but more than that I would recommend: trees, time spent under or near trees, walks, hikes, moonrises, sunsets. I also recommend starting a little meditation practice. As for books:
*Dept of Speculation* – Jenny Offill
*New and Selected Poems* (Vol. 2) – Mary Oliver
*Klara and the Sun* – Kazuo Ishiguro
*Invisible Cities* – Italo Calvino
*The Lost Books of the Odyssey* – Zachary Mason
*Desert Solitaire – Edward Abbey*
*Sand County Almanac* – Aldo Leopold
*The Peace of Wild Things* – Wendell Berry
*Diary of a Young Naturalist* – Dara McAnulty
*How to be a Good Creature* – Sy Montgomery
*The Overstory* – Richard Powers
I would recommend these books there are really self-help books
Atomic habits- James Clear
Mindset – Carol S. Dweck
