From Tolkien to Badass Gratitude – Myth, Tolkien & the Stories Beneath Our Stories with Brenda Knight

 

Can a book genuinely save a life?

 

Brenda Knight believes the right one can.

Over a publishing career spanning more than 30 years, Brenda has championed books that help people navigate mental and physical illness, recovery, exclusion, fear, and profound change.

Today, she is the founding publisher of Books That Save Lives, an imprint whose name states its purpose plainly.

 

Brenda is also an award-winning and bestselling author. Her Women of the Beat Generation received an American Book Award, while writing as Becca Anderson, she created the Badass Affirmations series, which has sold more than 500,000 copies. Her latest book, Badass Gratitude, explores gratitude as a daily practice of resilience rather than a demand to ignore what hurts.

In this episode of The No BS Spiritual Book Club, Brenda shares the 10 books that reveal another side of her: the Tolkienite, myth-lover, intuitive, garden witch, tree planter, and compassionate revolutionary.

 

Her choices span mythology, classic literature, audacious fiction, and books about the nature of narrative itself.

 

Join Sandie Sedgbeer and Brenda Knight for a candid conversation about the books that form us, the storiesbeneath our stories, and why a few words on a page can sometimes help someone remain in their story long enough to reach the next chapter.
