A Path with Heart: A Guide Through the Perils and Promises of Spiritual Life
| Author | Jack Kornfield |
| ISBN | 0553372114 |
I can sincerely say this is an excellent book but that it is not the correct book for me at this time.

| ISBN | 1590300165 |
Of the books on Buddhist meditation I've consulted so far, this one goes at the front of the pack. I had Goldstein pressed against my nose on four days of long walks between my apartment and Main Street in Longmont, Colorado. I understand why much of the advice for meditation is vague, given the nature of...

| Author | Mark Nepo |
| ISBN | 1573241172 |
Philosopher-poet and cancer survivor, Mark Nepo opens a new season of freedom and joy--an escape from deadening, asleep-at-the wheel sameness--that is both profound and clarifying. His spiritual daybook is a summons to reclaim aliveness, liberate the self, take each day one at a time, and to savor...
