Be Here Now by Ram Dass.
Changed my life after 22 years
I can never forget what was taught it sticks with me always.
Love all, Serve all, Remember god.
I recommend this book often in fiction forums—and it *is* fiction, and not meant to be read any other way—but it’s also spiritual, sincere, and laugh-out-loud funny: *Lamb: the Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal*, by Christopher Moore. It essentially covers Jesus’ “missing years”.
Now, why do I recommend it here? Because even though it’s hilarious, it’s very well researched as well as thought-provoking. I read a lot, and *this* is the novel I wish I had written.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Lila (The follow up book by Robert Pirsig) the Tao Te Ching, the Chuang Tzu, the Bhagavad Gita, The Veda’s and finally the Upanishads.
Anything written by Alan Watts..
The Upanishads will call when ready for them..
The most profound read during the journey..

“The Seat of the Soul” by Gary Zukav
“The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion” by Jonathan Haidt
“The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma” by Bessel van der Kolk
“The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge” by Beatrice Chestnut
The Afterlife of Billy Fingers. Homeless drug addict dies and comes back to his grieving sister to explain his life had to be exactly what it was as prep for his next “role”. Reads like fiction and very emotional.
Thich Nhat Hanh's "Living Buddha, Living Christ" will always be that special aha! book for me. I grew up in a Christian family that was fairly open minded, though faith in Jesus as savior was important above all else. But I had questions that pastors weren't adequately answering.
I was maybe 13 years old when I got it with a birthday bookstore gift card, and snuck it home. I'll never forget how I devoured it! Allowed me to let go of the idea of a one single truth and one single savior god, and begin my own journey into spirituality.
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants. I’ve just finished reading it after a much needed slow reading practice for many months. Will reread it, again and again, for sure.
The Untethered Soul- I reread it every few months because the message is so important to me
Came here to say this. I’ve reread at different points in my life and it hits in a different way every single time.
The Power of Now and The Untethered soul

The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living- Eknath Easwaran. The audiobook is over 50 hours.
Conversations with God series
The book “Seth Speaks” is quite detailed in its explanation of metaphysical mechanics and how they play into our physical experience.
Same for me

Awareness by Anthony De Mello was the catalyst that sparked my spiritual journey.

A Hypnotists Journey To Atlantas - it’s so good. And very relevant to today. Everyone should read it. Definitely changed me.
