Melody Beattie -- The Library -- 52 Weeks of Conscious Contact

By the time Beattie wrote this book, storytelling had become a strong influence in her writing. More than just a book of meditations, this is a book of tiny stories about meditative ideas. Some of the meditations are based on anecdotes from her new-found hobby – skydiving.
“My heart had healed from the loss of my son, finally. I was genuinely enjoying life,” Beattie says. “It’s a book about taking risks, facing fear, going for what we want, making every moment count, understanding how vulnerable we are and well, jumping anyway.”
