The following books are selections I consider key on my spiritual path. I have used my local library to acquire the audio versions, read by the author, wherever possible. The list is in the order that the teachings unfolded for me.

1. Meditation for Beginners by Jack Kornfield

2. Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

3. Five Classic Meditations by Shinzen Young

4. The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living by Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler

5. Being Peace by Thich Nhat Hanh

6. Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

7. A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle

8. 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Although most of these authors are coming from a Buddhist or Taoist perspective, the practices and philosophies described are spiritually generic, and shouldn't be in conflict with your religious beliefs. They are aimed at a western audience. If you do find something objectionable, feel free to disregard it. If you are interested in our current scientific understanding of reality, I found The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality by Brian Greene very helpful.
