Small books, all free

Each one can be read in a single sitting. Start anywhere. Read a page, close your eyes, and let it land.

Before you begin

Each book has its own piece of music, made for quiet listening. If you'd like, take a few minutes to settle in. Find a comfortable place, press play, and let your breath slow down. When you're ready, open the book.

About

Jawad Yousofi

Wisdom is knowing I am grand.
Love is knowing I am everything.

I write small books that point inward. They are short on purpose. Each one is meant to be read slowly, a page at a time, somewhere beneath the thinking mind.

The books began with a single sentence and grew into a series about breath, the heart, how we are all one circle, and the quiet space between holding on and letting go. I give them away because what they point to was always yours.

I am a father, a husband, and a holistic health coach trained at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. When I'm not writing, I'm usually on a bike or out in nature.
