What an array of books. I totally understand the experience. I love books myself and have a great diversity of topics at any one time. Right now, I am finishing off "The Disappearance of the Universe" by Gary R. Renard, and started (for the third time) "A Course in Miracles". I am finding "Maximum Success" facinating. It is written by two Harvard Professors, James Waldroop and Timothy Butler, and talks about the behavior patterns that prevent one from getting ahead - great psychological insight to life altering habits. And at this moment, I am trying to read and put into practice anything that might be eventually productive to my real estate business and then some. Wow. What an array of books.

Great post. I enjoyed reading about what you enjoy reading. As a guy who respects your opinion, I got some satisfaction out of knowing that we've read some of the same books. I'm reading a couple of books at the moment that are extremely motivating. One is "Harmonic Wealth : The Secret of Attracting the Life You Want" by James Arthur Ray. For some, this may sound cliche, but it really all depends on how you define 'wealth'. I know how you define it, so I suspect you would like this one too. The other is "How to See Yourself As You Really Are" by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. While I'm not a practicing Buddhist either, reading this book is causing me to mentally re-evaluate my position on religion in general. NEENZ! Great post.

okay, all time, best book ever (since i have so many ‘what-am-i-going-to-do-when-i-grow-up’ issues) is parker palmer’s “let your life speak: listening for the voice of vocation”. tiny leetle book. meaty. i think i’ve read it 7 or 8 times now. a very close second is an esoteric book written in the 70′s called “the eighth day of creation” by elizabeth o’connor.

others that i go back to time and again are artsy books: “letters to a young poet” by ranier maria rilke, “walking on water: on faith and art” by madeline l’engle, and “the artist’s way” by julia cameron.

i am currently reading “living the creative life” and really marinating on it, deeply, as i reassess my vocation (again).

other books that have had deep impact on me have been mike yaconelli’s “messy spirituality”, henri nouwen’s “return of the prodigal son”, parker palmer’s “a hidden wholeness: the journey toward an undivided life” and john ortberg’s, “if you want to walk on water, you’ve got to get out of the boat”.

as far as non-fiction goes, paulo coelho’s “the alchemist” and william young’s “the shack” are recent reads and re-reads.

hey! we should do a book review blog! i volunteer to do artsy books! :)

let me know if you read any of these. would love to gab with you about them!
