BOOKS WE LOVE

We LOVE books. Even though we carry all kinds of conscious living products, each of us in the Braid community holds a special place in our heart for the good old-fashioned physical book.
To make it easier for you to decide what to read, we have each compiled a list of our book recommends. Consider this our answer to the question: If you were deserted on an island and could only bring TEN books, which ones would you bring?
