Physical health books:

• “Sick and Tired? Reclaim Your Inner Terrain” by Robert O. Young (This book discusses the pH of the body and how it contributes to health);

Art books:

• “Alla Prima II” by Richard Schmid; and tons of others.  I loved watching the video Richard Schmid put out called White Pine where you watch and listen as he talks and instructs as he paints a beautiful picture.
