 | Sacred Hoops: Spiritual Lessons of a Hardwood Warrior by Phil Jackson
Buy new: $12.00 / Used from: $4.95 I really like this as an audiobook read by Phil himself the best. At the surface it is about Phil Jackson and the trophy winning Chicago Bulls, with Michael Jordan, but it is so much more. Jackson's zen master coaching style is revealed along with many life lessons. Easily applicable to a spiritual path, but enjoyable just as a sports book.

 | The Little Zen Companion by David Schiller
Buy new: $7.95 / Used from: $0.01 I get the page a day calender each year. This is like one of those only bound in book form. Just open to any page and find a strange little koan or proverb to give you a thought for the day. Or the moment. Water which is too pure, contains no fish.

 | The Portable Life 101 (The Life 101 Series) by Peter McWilliams
Buy new: $5.95 / Used from: $0.01 This book is one that saved my life. You can gain a new perspective and learn what is really important in your life. Subtitled "Everything we should have learned in school, but didn't."
|
 | The Portable Do It (The Life 101 Series) by Peter McWilliams
Buy new: $5.95 / Used from: $0.01 A good companion to Life 101, but more motivational regarding tasks and careers and such. Subtitled "Get off your buts."

 | The Razor's Edge by W. Somerset Maugham
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $3.48 Based on a real person, this story has been twice filmed, once with Tyrone Power and the second with Bill Murray in the lead role! I love all three versions of Larry Darrell's spiritual quest. From pre-depression U.S. to WWI to Paris to the Himalayas, the quest really does not end...

 | The Art of Peace by Morihei Ueshiba
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.06 Written by the man who developed the martial art of Aikido. This can also be read as a counterpoint to the Art of War. I love the eight forces that sustain creation.
|
 | The Art of War by Sun Tzu
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.52 Not really about war, but rather the realizing of power and how to direct it efficiently. Many successful people are very familiar with the tenets expressed within.

 | Kryon--The End Times: New Information for Personal Peace (Kryon Book 1) by Lee Carroll
Buy new: $9.60 / Used from: $0.01 An odd one at first and I was not sure about the concept of channeling. This is a warm and uplifting book and the principles are truly loving. There are currently 11 volumes published. I chose this one because it is the first, but feel free to start anywhere. Book 11 is just out and very good. See the Kryon website for current channels.
|
 | Coalescence, the Future of Humanity by Jeff Michaels
Buy new: $16.95 / Used from: $12.10 Another channeled book of information. It is very warm and humorous and gives a perspective that is unique. It is marked as volume one and the website (www.quintessence1.com) publishes new channels each month. Both the Kryon and Onereon work are published in the Sedona Journal of Emergence Magazine.

 | Replay by Ken Grimwood
Buy new: $10.04 / Used from: $2.10 What would you do if you could live your life all over, but with full knowledge of what was to come? And then you could do it again. And again. This is a fascinating book that poses many philosophical questions without actually posing them. It is all well told through the fast paced storyline.

 | Remember, Be Here Now by Ram Dass
Buy new: $10.30 / Used from: $8.58 If possible listen to Ram Dass rather than read him. He is very funny and the wisdom comes through easily. This is the first book he wrote and lays out many of the themes he followed through much of his career.
|
 | The Way of Zen by Alan W. Watts
Buy new: $11.16 / Used from: $2.75 Anything by Watts is interesting. Like Ram Dass I enjoy listening to him much more than reading. This volume is not something you have to agree with to gain anything. It is straight forward and informative with more than a little humour shining through.
