I’ve come across perhaps a thousand or more books on yoga, meditation and spirituality along the years. I can honestly say that this one by Daniel Ingram is over the top. It’s the most clear and practical explanation right from the basics up until the highest of attainments possible.
I warmly recomment it to all.
Downlowad “Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha” by Daniel Ingram for free from here:
I highly recommend ‘Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender’ by Dr. David R. Hawkins. It’s very simple yet very profound and powerful when applied. His other books are great too! (This one, for example - Transcending the Levels of Consciousness: The Stairway to Enlightenment)
Letting Go has been instrumental in letting go of a lot of my Tamas stuff.
One of the books that had recently influenced me a lot is “The Art of Living - Vipassana Meditation” as taught by S. N. Goenka, compiled by William Hart. It describes the path to self-awareness, which is the essence of the teachings of the Buddha. The book is based on lectures and writings of S. N. Goenka.
