Maiden Voyage by Tania Aebi
This product was recommended by Captain Cody Plante from Knots & Thoughts
Tania was a troubled teen whose father gave her an ultimatum, go to college or sail around the world, ALONE! This book is incredibly inspirational, reading about the journey this young woman took and the story of her first love with a married man and fellow sailor. As well as her many trials and tribulations at sea, being away from her family for so long at such a young age. As a now 30 year old who has finally taken the leap to become a sea dweller, I find comfort in her words during the lonely and trying times sailing our great oceans.
Gravel Roads by Ryan Crain
This product was recommended by Ryan Crain from Ryan Crain Author
I would like to suggest this book because it is (in my biased opinion) an extremely inspirational read regarding life and love. I dive deep into a year-long journey I took around the world—forming footprints on every inhabited continent—the decisions leading up to it, what I learned about humanity (i.e. live and love) along the way, and how crushing re-entry into America was. I believe it would gift many people who may want to see the world but can’t, the opportunity to do so, while providing a heavy dose of compassion for what we can’t and likely will never fully understand (abject poverty, crippling inequality, addiction, mental health issues, and privilege).

Modern Romance is funny and forthcoming. It features all the witty jabs you’d expect from Ansari—and perhaps some things you wouldn’t, like remarkable findings drawn from focus groups around the world and research aimed at understanding cultural differences in dating across the globe. With remarkable insights and trends that help make sense of the convoluted, chaotic world of dating these days, Ansari’s dating book is a well-balanced treat. For those who want both the lightheartedness of He’s Just Not That Into You with the fascinating findings of How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk, this book’s for you.

Half Love by Ana Silvani
This product was recommended by Amanda Menezes from Thais Eliasen PR
A bilingual poetry book in English and Portuguese that is also a portal that divides two worlds: the U.S. and Brazil, leaving brain and heart halved: half English, half Portuguese, half love, half-life. But it’s also an opportunity to live life fully, in double. Expectations of what was thought of as bad-planned adventures are kept safe. Dreams, love stories gone wrong and pondering about life and death fill up words that try to flip the narrative creating a third language that tries to accommodate this new place.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

This book is about a young boy named Santiago who leaves home in search of a treasure. On his journey he meets people who change his life and teach him about himself and the world around him.

The story also shows us that there are no coincidences in life; we are all connected on some level. The book’s message is one of hope and love, which I think is important advice for anyone going through difficult times or feeling lost in their own life.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
This product was recommended by Allia Luzong from A Little Bit Human
The Song of Achilles is a moving romance book about the unshakeable love of two young men who begin as friends and grow into lovers. It’s a pretty typical love story in terms of the plot beats such as people getting in the way of their love. But what makes it inspiring is the way the lovers accept, reprimand, and adjust to each other’s weaknesses. Patroclus understands the pressures that drove Achilles to the man he later became, but also doesn’t excuse his cruelty and violence towards others. When it comes down to it though, he’s willing to stick to his own morals – even if Achilles disagrees. That kind of balance is a valuable lesson for people in love to learn.

On Love By Stendhal
This product was recommended by Sonia Navarro from Navarro Paving
On Love is one of the best books if you’re looking to learn a few lessons about love and life. The book is a depiction of Stendhal’s innermost feelings at a time when his own love was rejected. He uses a confessional tone to speak from his heart and mind. The book implies that the pain of unrequited love is necessary to crystallize your object of love. This pain helps you transcend from reality to idea, which is essential for growth – your own and that of your definition of love.

I am suggesting this book because it’s the true definition of both love and inspiration. Not only does it talk about romantic love, but it shows us that love can be of other kinds too.
