There's nothing better than a remarkable person who writes a remarkable book that can affect you in remarkable ways.

I love books that take me into a different world. I opened the first page and it was like

dropping into an alternate universe. If you want to be a great copywriter, a great sales writer,

you have to read a lot of poetry. And by the end of it, I was

literally, my head was in my lap. I was, I was sobbing so much. Hi, this is Gay Hendrix. Welcome to the

Big Leap podcast. This time we're doing another episode on books that have changed our lives.

This time focusing on a little bit different types of books,

even some fiction. So we're excited about it and we hope you will be too. All right. And Gay always

blows my mind because while I record episodes like this, not only do we have an action item

list, which is in the show notes with all the books that we talk about here.

I ended up buying a whole bunch of them as well.

So now I've got a gigantic reading list and it's all your fault gay.

So this is books that changed our lives, episode two. All right, Gay, we're back.

Episode two, the books that shaped us, the books that changed our life.

So, why don't you dive in with your next big book?

Okay, I want to focus this time on several fiction books.

I love fiction.

That was one of my first dreams was to write the Great American novel,

and I've since written a whole bunch of mystery novels,

so I finally get to fulfill my dream of being a fiction writer.

But I've learned a lot as a psychologist and a spiritual seeker from reading certain

kind of fiction, too.
