Goodbye Things by Fumio Sasaki
Minimalism have never found a better spark nor motivation than this body of work by Fumio, if there was a time you needed to understand that things are to be given out, or disposed of, for you to truly live, it's now. and this book provide the right questions and drive for you to get up and dispose of all those things, and truly put your life in the driving seat. Real minimalist style.



The Places That Scares You  by Pema Chodron
Time and time again, we look back for patterns to help us cope with the present, but can we truly have a mental by pass that help us look forward to those places and situations that scare us, see life as one big playground where we can never lose or fail. Pema  sure think so.


Walden (or Live in the Woods) by Henry David Thoreau
Every human being on earth should at least read this book twice in their life, first when they are 15 years of age, when the celebrity complex of youth takes it's toll  and when they are 30 when the purpose of life, seems so hard to find. It means gettting to zero and scraping at the fabric of your existence and finding home in that hole dug deep within yourself by going off to the woods, farming 11 acres of land, fishing at the Walden river and transcending all of life, the most important thing. Thoreau timelessness will always be my succor for stoicism and strenght through life. 


Why Be Happy? by Scott Haas
The Japanese remain the most inquired about people and not for anything but because they have inquired and perfected the art of living, Sikatanai (it can't be helped) is the abandonment and peace of mind associated with accepting one way of living. Scott Haas compiled why this is important and necessary for everyone, everywhere.

Silence by Thich Nhat Hanh
The Fear of missing out, the noise, the distractions and impression is all a way devise to run away from the all stilling, the all calming the ever reassuring and encompassing silence, why not attune yourself to it, for it is the loudest of noise, the most fervent of distraction and impression, the most calmest of minds the stiller of hearts. I now prefer it thanks to this book.


Walking by Henry David Thoreau
The sequesterance of Man is his death, Henry posits strongly that the only way to live life, is to move constantly and by walking we truly live, it might involve traveling, it might involve abandoning that shop that has kept you prisoner, it might involve a long Saturday walk, but take it from me, if there was ever a way to truly meditate and transcend, it will be by constantly walking, comparing and evaluating.
ask Jesus, ask Buddha, better yet read this book
