As long as you're reading, I also recommend:
-
Build a Better Buddha by James Robbins (one of my favorites- plus the recommended reading list at the back is awesome. Check out the book's web site -you can google it- for many good excerpts from the book that you can preview for nothing. Definitely check this one out!)
-anything by
Alan Watts (I love listening to his books/lectures on audio, particularly "Do You do It or Does it Do You?")
-The Only Dance There Is by Ram Dass
-Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
-The Feeling Buddha by David Brazier (about Buddhist psychology)
-A Path With Heart by Jack Kornfield
I've done lots of reading about mindfulness/Buddhism/meditation and their relationship to psychology. I spend way too much time at the book store (especially the used book stores near me) - and you can often get these (or any book) for great prices on half.com
I've found these books to be very motivating and enlightening (ha ha). Read on Pug and enjoy!
