Looking for inspiration to manifest your goals and healing? I’m sharing a list of 12 of the most insightful manifestation books that I have read that will hopefully inspire you too. Manifestation is the process of aligning your thoughts, beliefs, and actions with your desires to bring them to fruition and it can be a very powerful practice. If you are new to the concept of manifestation or an expert “manifestor”, these books offer practical tips, exercises, and insight to help you tap into the power of the universe and uncover your goals.
Each book offers unique perspectives aimed at helping you create and shift the changes you desire in your life. Are you curious about the law of attraction or visualization techniques? These books might hold the answers you are looking for. So, find a comfy spot to read and relax, or download and listen on your daily walk like me, and prepare to be inspired by my list of top manifestation books to read in 2023.
How did these books get selected?
Each written by experts in their respective fields, any of these books will help you uncover something new about yourself, grow awareness, and manifest something big in your life. I know that personal development books can be hard to digest sometimes and that is why I carefully curated this list of reads that I have found useful during my healing journey – the material made a difference in my own life.
When I was at my sickest, I used visualization techniques to manifest healing in my life. Seeing was believing for me then, especially when I could barely leave my house. This powerful technique helped me regain aspects of my self-confidence and was truly the beginning of my journey. For this reason, I believe in the power of manifestation and it is why I am sharing these books with you.
I also wanted to choose books that have resonated with other readers. I do not want you wasting precious time on books that aren’t helpful, especially when you could be applying the content to your life and seeing progress.

Reading this book gave me the chance to evaluate ways that my own self-beliefs have been limited and offered me the opportunity to find a path forward.
What is the best book on manifesting: My 2 picks
I want to take a closer look at two of my favorites from the list of manifestation books I have just shared with you. Each of these books offer unique perspectives on the power of manifestation and include easy actionable steps to manifest your greatest desires – they also made a significant difference in my life and healing these last ten years.
One book that stood out to me was “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” by Dr. Joseph Murphy. This book examines the idea that our subconscious mind has the power to shape our reality. Murphy provides readers with techniques to tap into their subconscious and manifest their desires. I particularly appreciated his emphasis on the importance of positive affirmations and visualization.
I read this book early on in my healing journey with PTSD. I was newly diagnosed and really struggling with what my future looked like. I was barely engaging with the world outside of my home. My confidence was shot and my ability to fulfill basic duties for my young family like grocery shopping was non-existent. I was starting to figure out that my reality was reflecting my thoughts and fears.
I read this book and began to visualize what my life would look like if I were healed and living alongside PTSD. This book helped me form very basic visual ideas about what that might look like and from there, little by little, I was able to reclaim parts of my life that had been fractured.
“The Choice” by Dr. Edith Eva Eger also helped propel me forward in many ways. Dr. Eger survived unimaginable suffering and turned her pain into purpose as she began helping others heal. I will forever carry the lesson she shares about tapping in to the gifts you were born with to help you through difficulties. I use this technique daily and share it with others, especially my kids, when they are going through challenges.
Overall, both books offer valuable insights and techniques for readers looking to harness the power of manifestation and healing. I highly recommend checking them out and incorporating their teachings into your daily life and soon you feel some changes.
Final Thoughts
When we dive into any new practice it is normal to feel overwhelmed, and unsure of where to start. That is why many of the books I chose to share with you offer simple steps to get you started. Manifesting is a positive practice to add to your life and it should not weigh you down or confuse you.
I am certain the aforementioned books will help you to; gain a deeper understanding of manifestation, learn new strategies about developing a positive mindset, find inspiration and improve your well-being. And if a concept or idea presented in the content does not align with your own beliefs, then it’s safe to move forward and leave the idea behind. This is a personal journey – you should not feel pushed into a process that does not feel natural for you.
I want you to find insight, guidance, and inspiration in each book just like I have.
If it’s hard to find the time to sit down with a physical book then download them and listen while you drive, take a sunny walk, wash dishes, or fold laundry and I think you’ll learn that inspiration can be found anywhere – even while matching up your socks! Using your spare time to manifest change and positivity in your life will not just be felt in the remaining days of 2023 but for many more years and hopefully, your lifetime to come.
Happy reading!
