This collection of poetry to help with mindfulness is the perfect book to check out if you are looking for ways to be more connected and aware. This book features not only poetry, but some exercises for mindfulness as well.
Its a Numbers Game! Soccer by James Buckley
A great nonfiction book that dives into the world of soccer, but goes behind the scenes of the game, and gives lots of information in infographic form. If you like soccer, or like statistics and infographics, this is a great choice!
