Reads By Eleven
We had a quick conversation with mother, budding author, spiritual and self development guide Eleven. We wanted to look at the books she would recommend to anyone looking to follow or even begin their journey, be it spiritual, or general self development, she gave us some of her reads. But first, here is a bit more about Eleven.
Can tell us a little about yourself, and your creative passions - My names Eleven (yup, that's my name 😅) I create content, make videos & have a podcast that cover spirituality, self development and becoming the very best versions of ourselves. I'm deeply passionate about growing as an individual and helping others discover the power they've always possessed within 🌹
How long have you working/doing your passion and your journey? - I've been on my spiritual/personal growth journey consciously for about 5 years now, I've been making content for about two years on and off 📱
Is reading important to you and why? Reading is very important to me because it allows us to view things from another perspective and always keep an open mind, reading can be a MAJOR form of self care and getting lost in a good, though provoking book can do wonders for the spirit 😅
Do you recall the first book you read? The first full book I ever read off my own back was called "the game of life and how to play it" by Florence scovel shin, GAME CHANGER 💪
Give us 4 fun/random facts about yourself
1. My favourite weird food combo is spicy baked beans and sweet waffles 🥞 << that's a pancake I know 😂
2. My son is called Wolf 🐺
3. I'm a Gemini sun, Taurus moon, Leo rising ♊♉♌
4. I used to do boxing got about 4 years and did amateur fights 🥊
Love, Freedom, Aloneness - Osho
The model of the traditional family is breaking down, children barely into their teens are experimenting with sex, and half of all marriages in developed countries end in divorce. In LOVE, FREEDOM AND ALONENESS, Osho explains why these phenomena are happening and how they can actually be viewed as a cause for celebration rather than worry. In a post-ideological world, where all the old moralities are clearly out of date, we have a golden opportunity to redefine and revitalize the very foundations of our lives. Literally starting fresh with ourselves and our relationships to others, and defining fulfillment and success for the individual and for society means understanding the new realities of our basic condition. Until we learn to live by ourselves and with ourselves, we will deny ourselves the possibility of finding love and happiness with someone else. This book is a provocation and a guide for that fresh start.
