Resources

The reading list.

These are the books that shaped the Abundance OS and the way I think about identity, capacity, and what it actually takes to change. They're organized by what they address. Start wherever feels right.

Section 1

Identity

The lens you're living through. These books address who you think you are, why that's running everything, and what happens when you see it clearly.

The Big Leap

Gay Hendricks

Names the pattern of self-sabotage that shows up right when things start working. If you've ever watched yourself shrink at the exact moment life got good, this book explains why.

The Untethered Soul

Michael A. Singer

A clear look at the voice in your head and what's underneath it. No religious framework required. This is the book that helps you see the difference between who you are and who you've been performing.

Immunity to Change

Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey

The most rigorous book on the list. It explains why people can sincerely want to change and still actively work against themselves. If you like evidence and frameworks, start here.

No Bad Parts

Richard C. Schwartz

An introduction to Internal Family Systems, which treats inner conflict not as dysfunction but as different parts of you trying to protect you from different threats. Changes how you relate to the parts of yourself that seem to keep sabotaging the plan.

Section 2

Capacity

What your life can actually hold. These books address the systems, the body, and the practical infrastructure that determines whether something good stays once it arrives.

Atomic Habits

James Clear

You probably already know this one. What makes it relevant here is that habits are capacity infrastructure. Without the identity shift, they get quietly undermined. With it, this book shows you how to build the container.

The Body Keeps the Score

Bessel van der Kolk

How unresolved experience lives in the nervous system and shapes what you can tolerate, receive, and hold. This is the book that connects the dots between your body, your reactions, and the patterns you can't think your way out of.

Section 3

The books that changed my life

These are different from the rest of this list. Paul Selig's books are channeled texts. That means they were spoken, not written, and they come through in a voice that doesn't sound like anything else you've read. I understand if that's not your thing. But if you've done the psychological work and still feel like something deeper is unresolved, these books address it at a level that nothing else I've found comes close to. They changed the entire direction of my life.

I Am the Word(2010)

Where it all starts. This is the foundation of everything that follows. If you read one, read this one.

The Book of Knowing and Worth(2013)

Directly addresses worth, identity, and the inherited beliefs about what you're allowed to have.

The Book of Freedom(2018)

What it means to release the identity structures that were never yours to begin with.

Beyond the Known: Realization(2019)

The most direct teaching on moving past the known self into something truer.

A World Made New(2024)

The culmination of the first arc of teachings. About reclaiming the world as it actually is rather than as fear has taught you to see it.

Divine Union(2025)

The newest. About reconciliation with the whole of what you are. If you've worked through the earlier books, this is where it leads.
