Doctor Isabel's Five Favorite Books

Dr. Isabel Gomez-Bassols talks about her five most influential books:

1. Jane Eyre
"My first book in English, which I read in Cuba with a dictionary next to me. A book that talks about so many things, morality, religion, etc."

2. The Alchemist
"I connected with the spirituality within the story and of the journey to fulfill one's mission in life."

3. Clan of the Cave Bear
"It showed me the psychology and culture of a tribe mentality and allowed me to imagine the origins of man and how it would've felt to live in that time."

4. Unencumbered by Baggage
"Taught me how to let go."

5. The Road Less Traveled
"A new psychology of love, traditional values, and spiritual growth."
